Jake Mulraney: The league is screaming out for help

"The league is screaming out for help to get facilities like this. If we played here every week I think it would be a different story (in the league) for us this season."

"He's got so much time to develop. His ceiling is very high."

On the pitch, the Saints more than matched their visitors.

Mulraney, Zack Elbouzedi and Kian Leavy all caused problems, but it was the display of 16-year-old forward Mason Meilia that really caught the eye.

"I was noweher near that at 16," Mulraney said of his team-mate. "Even physically, he's a monster. I walked out past him, I'm looking up at him, he's huge.

"Physically he's already there, technically he's good, pace wise he's good. He's got so much time to develop. His ceiling is very high."

On Pat's overall performance, Mulraney added: "I think coming into the game a lot of people expected them to be comfortable, but again we showed we can mix it with them. It's definitely given us some confidence going over there next week.

"I had a couple of half chances. It was a bit congested and I just tried to swing a foot at them, but like I said, we know now we can hurt them. We have to go there and believe we can get through.

"In Europe, a massive thing to have is pace. I think w ehave that up front, Mason as well, who is very very quick too. I don't think people realise how quick Mason is.

"Then you have Zack on the other side as well. In Europe it's vital.

"We have to believe that we can go through. It' a huge opportunity for us. I think the boys' confidence will be up knowing that we can beat these."
