The Saints team has been named for the New Year’s Day Aviva Premiership clash with Exeter.
There are half-a-dozen changes to the team which started the Boxing Day trip to London Irish, with Tom Collins and JJ Hanrahan coming into the back line and Alex Waller, Mikey Haywood, Victor Matfield and Sam Dickinson joining the pack.
Friday’s game is totally sold out – guaranteeing a modern-day attendance record at Franklin’s Gardens in the process – but supporters who have not been lucky enough to secure their tickets can follow the action as it happens at www.saintslive.co.uk.
Preview interviews with Lee Dickson, Christian Day, Alex Waller and forwards coach Dorian West can all be seen on SaintsTV at www.youtube.com/thesaintstv.
