Wales star George North hobbled out of Northampton Saints' Amlin Cup semi final win over Harlequins after 20 minutes but is OK to play on this season.

With a final in Cardiff to look forward to an the climax of the Aviva Premiership season before Wales fly to South Africa in June, the recent injury raises concerns about North's fitness.

But coach Jim Mallinder said: "George North has a calf strain, hopefully it's not too bad.

"He picked it up in the warm-up and thought he was okay to carry on but clearly wasn't 100%."
