Stephen Myler slots the penalty and gives Northampton an early lead.

Massive early pressure form the home side making great ground inside the Quins 22 leads to a penalty for Northampton.

Stephen Myler gets the game underway.

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby’s coverage of the Aviva Premiership clash between Northampton Saints v Harlequins. The Saints are the best team in the Aviva Premiership on current form, having dropped just four points from a possible 30. Northampton have lost just one of their last nine Aviva Premiership games at Franklin's Gardens, an 8-36 reverse to Leicester Tigers on March 30, all of which leaves them sitting second on 43 points.
This has the making of an epic encounter. Teams play as selected and kick off is moments away.
