Competition: Get a Chance to Watch the Lions in Australia

The moment Pollock found out he was selected has since gone viral, with footage showing his Saints teammates erupting in celebration and piling on the youngster in pure disbelief and joy.

One clip in particular has fans talking, with one user pointing out:
“Love how tense Mitchell looked, like he knew he was a contender surely but also clearly was waiting to hear his name.”

Meanwhile, Dingers — believed to be full-back George Furbank — has earned major praise despite missing out:— 

Other fan reactions captured the mood perfectly:
“That's what we wanted to see.” — IAm_Joshwa
“That's wholesome content.” — tgy74
“Quality!” — JazzybmzooUK

And perhaps the most telling comment for Saints fans came from Bloke101, who noted:
“4 players from one club, 3 of the 4 very young, bodes well for the future of Northampton. Shame Fairbanks was not fit.”
