The Wanderers team has been named for Monday night (Apr 4) at the Gardens, where Worcester stand in the way of an Aviva ‘A’ League semi-final.
With all other sides having completed their regular season Saints currently lie third, but three points or more would see them leapfrog both Gloucester and Newcastle to the top of the standings. A solitary point at the least would give them a chance of progressing.
Ben Nutley leads a side that shows three changes to the one that started last week’s bonus point win in Sale. Matti Williams comes in at hooker, while in the back row both Michael Paterson and Lewis Ludlam are also involved.
Kick off is 7:30pm and entry is free for all Season Ticket Holders or just £5 on the gate for general admission. The Rodber Bar will be open serving drinks and snacks throughout the game.
