And the Saints boss is also hoping for good news on Louis Picamoles and Stephen Myler, who were both forced off in the 27-25 defeat to Saracens at Stadium MK on Sunday.

Picamoles tried to battle on, but was replaced in the 25th minute, with Teimana Harrison coming on at No.8.

Myler also took a knock just before the break and struggled through to half-time, when he was replaced, giving Rory Hutchinson the chance to come on with Harry Mallinder moving to 10.

And when asked for injury updates after the game, Mallinder said: "Louis has got a bad neck so we're not exactly sure.

"Stephen Myler hurt his knee so fingers crossed. We've got a two-week break before we play Exeter now.

"George North has got a bad side. He took a knock in training. It's not serious."
