Saints kick deep and Newcastle clear

A big game between two teams having two very different seasons. Saints are going through a transition at the moment after a change of management at the moment whereas Falcons are having one of their best seasons in quite some time. Kickoff is 10 minutes away. Stay tuned for more live updates.

Northampton Saints have won just twice in the last twelve rounds of Premiership Rugby, both at home, to Gloucester in round 13 and London Irish in round 14, whilst their only victory on the road in the competition in the past twelve months was when they visited London Irish in September.

Newcastle’s only defeat in the last eight rounds of Premiership Rugby was 3-25 at Saracens on 10 February, whilst their tally of 22 league points from the last six rounds makes them the best team in Premiership Rugby on current form.
