International rugby returns to Franklin’s Gardens this Friday evening as for the second year running, England U20s will host one of their Six Nations clashes in Northampton.

Ireland are this week’s visitors, and with both sides still unbeaten and on track for a Grand Slam, the result of the showdown at the Gardens (kick-off: 7.45pm) could well decide the fate of the Championship.
