Northampton Saints sign another Premiership Scrum Half

Newcastle Falcons, Northampton Saints

Lee Dickson, the Newcastle Falcons scrum half has agreed to join Northampton Saints at the end of the season.  Dickson, who is a product of the Newcastle academy, has made 9 Guniess Premiership starts this season, and played for Newcastle 57 times overall.  He has also played for England Saxons, but was originally selected for both England Saxons and Scotland As

While Newcastle have let Dickson go, I think this is an astute signing by Northampton.  Ben Foden should offer him stiff competition at scrum half, and they should push each other to higher levels as they will be in direct competition for game time.
