The Aviva Premiership’s top two teams go head-to-head at Franklin’s Gardens in the hunt for a place in the first final of the season, and even though there is a great deal riding on the game the Saints coaches have used it as an opportunity to rotate the squad.
There are returns to the starting line-up for wing Tom Collins and second row James Craig, with full back Ben Foden, fly half Will Hooley, prop Tom Mercey and flanker Ben Nutley all stepping up from the bench.
Tickets remain available for the game, with the Saints Ticket Office open until 5pm on Friday and from 9am on Saturday morning. Alternatively book online throughout the day by CLICKING HERE and following the straightforward instructions!
Season Ticket Holders are reminded that Saturday’s game is NOT included in their 2013/14 package.
