Saints face anxious wait
Mallinder's Saints kept their quarterfinal hopes alive with a four-try win at Scarlets. but can now only watch and hope results go their way to claim a runners-up spot in the last eight.
"It is never an easy place to come [Scarlets] but we got the job done. It's always a challenge, particularly to get the four tries, so we are delighted to get the bonus point. We knew that we needed to play a little bit today.
"We knew that whatever team Scarlets put out they would be fighting. They are a proud team and a good team, and we knew it would not be easy, so we are pleased we have done our job now, sit back and hope that results go our way on Sunday.
"I haven't quite decided yet how I am going to handle Sunday. We need one of three results to go our way," head coach Mallinder said.
Northampton, European champions in 2000, lost just one of their six pool games and finished on a high with tries from Harry Mallinder, George Pisi, Sam Dickinson and George North.
"It has been pretty good in Europe for us this season – we've won four, drawn one and lost one – so we've had a relatively good pool in a difficult competition.
"We've had to really work hard. Not getting any bonus point wins has made it difficult for us and made it close, but to win four and draw one is pretty good," he added.
