Northampton Saints lock Alex Moon says new defence coach Lee Radford is already making his presence felt at Franklin's Gardens.

Radford has switched codes from rugby league, having previously been head coach of Hull FC and Castleford."On the defensive side, albeit we've conceded a bunch of points, but the stuff we're really going hard at has improved," said Moon.

"That's something I love, just being a tall, strong guy, I get to go high on people, hold people up, wrestle people, keep them in the air, buy time for us to go and get set, which means we can go again off the line," he said. "I went through in the natural way, played National 2, played National 1, played in the Championship, did a small stint over in Australia on loan, came back and played my way into the first team from there," Moon said.
