The sides take the field, just moments to go

Good afternoon and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of this Aviva Premiership clash as Northampton Saints host Saracens at Franklins Gardens. The Saints have had a disappointing start to the season winning only one of their initial three games compared to Saracens who come into this game undefeated. A win is crucial for the home side today if they want to get their campaign back on track and with a formidable record on their home patch we can expect a cracker of a game between these two premiership giants. Kick off is coming shortly so stay with us for live updates throughout.
