Northampton Saints are delighted to present ’An Evening with Our Lions’ this September, when the Club’s four most-recent British and Irish Lions tourists will share their experiences from Down Under.
Enjoy fascinating and unique insight from Tommy Freeman, Alex Mitchell, Fin Smith and Henry Pollock during the special evening at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens on Thursday 18 September, after sparkling form for club and country saw the English quartet all selected for this summer’s tour of Australia.
The group represent Northampton’s largest contribution to a Lions tour since the victorious trip to South Africa in 1997 – and ‘An Evening with Our Lions’ will fittingly be hosted in the Rodber Bar, which pays homage to Tim Rodber (Saint #1588), one of those five tourists from 28 years ago.
The special event will be hosted by Club Historian and BBC Radio Northampton’s Sports Editor, Graham McKechnie, and an exclusive raffle will be held on the night – with funds raised going towards the Club’s Benevolent Fund.
“A Lions tour is always a fantastic time for rugby fans, but it’s been extra-special this year with a magnificent four Northampton Saints players making the squad,” said Anna Wingerath, Northampton Saints’ Commercial Events Manager.
“Everyone at Saints is incredibly proud of their accomplishments, and we are delighted to be hosting this unmissable event featuring all four of our 2025 Lions, who will share their experiences from their first-ever British and Irish Lions tour.
“Alex, Fin, Tommy and Henry are writing a very special chapter in the Club’s history and they will be full of stories and insight into their trip on the evening of Thursday 18 September.”
