Myler signed a contract extension with the Saints earlier this year |
Northampton Saints fly-half Stephen Myler has insisted going back to basics was the key to ending the club’s run of six defeats in the Aviva Premiership.
The 26-year-old kicked 18 points as the Saints beat Leeds Carnegie 23-13 last weekend to revive their play-off hopes.
“We’ve been in a sticky patch of form and the most important thing for us is to understand why.
“We haven’t been playing well and the way to start winning again is to get the basics right,” Myler explained.
“Irrespective of who’s away with internationals or whatever, the players who come in have a job to do.
“We haven’t been doing that to the best of our ability as a team. So our focus has been to work as hard as we possibly can to get back to those standards we expect,” he added.
Last Saturday’s victory lifted Northampton back into the top four ahead of their home match against Wasps on 27 March (1345 BST).
