That game is due to be played at Welford Road at the junction of January and February, though not before a trip across the border to face Scarlets, that Anglo-Welsh clash in November – that a rematch of the 2012 semi-final.
A visit from Wasps rounds off the Pool stages at Franklin’s Gardens in February, with the Rounds 3 and 4 fixtures subject to television confirmation from Sky Sports.
Such is the LV= Cup’s cross-Pool format, the Saints will be competing results-wise with Sale, London Irish and Cardiff Blues in Pool 2.
