Saints lock Ribbans has lofty aspirations

"We definitely want to be a lot higher in the table - we want to be first or second and we believe that we can be.
"We haven't taken our win at Exeter for granted, we're still working really hard and we're looking for another big performance this weekend against Bath."
Ribbans has been one of the stars of the season for Saints.
And when asked about his own form, he said: "It's going alright, I've been putting in some good shifts for Saints and that's all I've really been focusing on.

Saints have not played a home game since beating Worcester on Boxing Day.
And they can't wait to be back at Franklin's Gardens for this afternoon's fixture against Bath (kick-off 1pm).
"I'm tired of bus trips and hotels away and we're really looking forward to being at home," RIbbans said.

"Hopefully we can also put some of the Saints flair that everyone likes to see on them, but it's definitely going to start up front and we're going to have to win that physical battle again."
