Northampton Saints welcome Harlequins to cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens to play Round 7 of the Gallagher Premiership under the lights on Friday 24 November (kick-off: 7.45pm).
The men in Black, Green and Gold have claimed victory in their last two clashes on home soil, and will be hoping to make it three in a row as they welcome fifth-placed Quins to Northampton – with just three league points separating them from Saints who sit sixth after six matches.
Saints treated a sold-out Gardens to an emphatic win the last time they hosted Quins at home, winning 46-17 on New Year’s Day in January 2023 with James Ramm scoring twice in the first half.
