The Saints team has been named for Friday night’s European Rugby Champions Cup return leg against Racing-92.
There are four changes to the team which began last Saturday’s clash in Colombes, three in the backs and one upfront, where Jamie Gibson’s return to the back row sees Courtney Lawes partner Victor Matfield in the pack’s engine room.
Out wide Stephen Myler partners Lee Dickson in the half-backs, with Samoan pair Ahsee Tuala and George Pisi coming in at wing and centre respectively.
Tickets remain on sale for Friday night’s game, with groups of seats available in Blocks 8, 15, 24, 29, 30 and in the Burrda Stand Lower. Order online at www.tinyurl.com/SAI-RAC-1516 and use Print@Home to beat the match day queues and save the admin fees!
