The Northampton Saints team has been named for Sunday’s Aviva Premiership Round 4 trip to London Irish.
The match day 23 shows just the one change from that which earned a four-try bonus point win over Bath last time out, with Sam Dickinson coming in for Teimana Harrison (shoulder).
Dylan Hartley (hand), Mitch Eadie (ankle) and Piers Francis (jaw) are the other significant injury absentees, although Hartley and Francis are close to full fitness. Tom Wood and Stephen Myler have been in full training this week and are among the travelling reserves.
Sunday’s game is not live on TV, but supporters who cannot make it to the Madejski Stadium can follow the minute-by-minute action with the text commentary available at www.saintslive.co.uk
