This weekend’s game is the first time that the Saints will have played a competitive European match in Paris, and the team welcomes Dylan Hartley, George North, Kahn Fotuali’I and Calum Clark back into the starting line-up.
Otherwise the team is unchanged from that which started last Saturday’s Aviva Premiership win over Sale.
Saturday’s game is being televised on Sky Sports, but if you are out and about you can follow the action on your tablet or smartphone at www.saintslive.co.uk
This week’s Saints podcast includes both Dorian West and George Pisi previewing the game, chairman Tony Hewitt discussing this week’s Season Ticket Holders’ Forum and Harry Mallinder chatting about his first few weeks as a professional rugby player.
