London Irish begin to come alive in this game and have the ball on half way but just as they are getting into the rhythm of the game the ball comes to Myles Dorrian and he knocks in on, some early nerves from the outhalf, Scrum to Northampton.

Myles Dorrian, a late replacement for Shane Geraghty, has his first kick of the game but his kick has the legs but not the accuracy and drifts wide.

Setaimata Sa making his home debut picks up the ball after the Saints fumble and eventually, the referee awards the penalty. Chance for Irish to draw level.

Great early pressure from the Saints as they take an early lead with Dickson kicking over a penalty in front of the posts after London Irish fail to roll away.

With a lot of players on International duty from both sides will be interesting to see the young talent we have on show today.

We are Underway as Dickson's gets the game started.
