Welcome to Franklin's Gardens for this round 13 tie between Northampton Saints and Sale Sharks. This game could not be more even with both teams sitting right atop each other on the table. They are also extremely evenly matched when it comes to head to head matches. The Sharks have taken more of the victories in recent times and Northampton have also struggled in their last few matches against other opponents. This means that Sale Sharks could have the perfect opportunity to take the victory but will the lack of pressure on the Saints aid their game today?
