Saints are on the up, says two-try hero Adendorff
Shaun Adendorff says the only way is up for Saints after they secured a 31-26 bonus-point win at Gloucester on Saturday afternoon.
Man of the match Adendorff was at the heart of it for the black, green and gold, scoring twice, his first tries for Saints since joining the club last summer.
The South African No.8 was hugely impressive as he stepped into the side in place of Teimana Harrison, who is nursing a hand injury.
And Adendorff was delighted to propel Saints to victory, their second bonus-point success in as many matches after the Boxing Day win against Worcester Warriors.
"It's a big thing for us as a squad and a club as a whole," Adendorff said.
"We needed to get out of the blocks after this long break (Saints had five weeks without a game) so that was a massive win for us.
"We had a set plan for this game and I feel like we did pretty well in the first half, even though the scoreboard didn't say so.
"We knew we were going to break them at some stage so we just kept on doing what we were doing."
And Adendorff added: "We got one win after a few losses and then we had a long break so this result is incredible for us and our confidence is going to be up there.
"It's only upwards from here.
"I had to get on the board (with a try) at some time so I might as well get two."
