"They've not got a game Saturday so they put nearly a full first team out and we started with five academy players and and ended up with eight - and a lot of them are first years," Brady told BBC Radio Northampton. "They know where their careers are at and where they've got to try to get to. Can they get close enough to that level? That's a huge step up for them at the moment," he added.
