    Mitchell is part of the Northampton Saints side which is preparing to take on French side Bordeaux Bègles in Saturday's European Champions Cup final in Cardiff.

    It has been a season to remember for the 27-year-old scrum-half who earlier this month was named in the British & Irish Lions squad which will tour Australia over the summer.
