Geraght to get le mood
SHANE GERAGHTY hopes to reignite his England chances by leading Northampton to Euro glory in tomorrow's showdown with Perpignan.
Saints need a big win over the flaky French to set up a Heineken Cup Pool One decider against Munster in Limerick on Friday night.
Geraghty has his own agenda after being axed from Martin Johnson's Six Nations squad.
But the centre, 23, is focused solely on victory against a side whose only Euro win so far was in the home clash with Northampton. Geraghty said: "We must ignore results so far and remember that Perpig-nan are the reigning French champions.
"Losing down there without getting a bonus point was a big disappointment. The key in this competition is to be unbeaten at home and pinch points on your travels.
"Munster have picked up three bonus points to our one and that is the difference between us at the moment.
"But if we win we still have the chance to finish top and get a home quarter-final."
Northampton quartet Dylan Hartley, Ben Foden, Chris Ashton and Courtney Lawes all got the Six Nations nod this week.
Geraghty, who started against Australia and Argentina last autumn, found himself in the second-string Saxons.
But at the moment his main concern is the threat of a Perpignan side who lost to minnows Treviso then made Munster sweat for a home 24-23 win.
Geraghty said: "This tournament is a step up from domestic rugby, another level between Premiership and Tests.
"And Perpignan have a wealth of internationals with points to prove for the Six Nations."
