Saints switch home clash to avoid short turnaround

The Round Two clash, which was initially scheduled for 7.45pm on Friday, September 16 at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens, has been moved back one day.

It follows confirmation that this weekend’s league match at Sale Sharks has been changed from tonight to 3pm on Sunday, September 11.

Moving the London Irish match is designed to avoid a short turnaround between the two games for the black, green and gold.

Saints have thanked London Irish and Premiership Rugby for their swift co-operation.

The 2pm kick-off time avoids a direct clash with Northampton Town FC, who also play a home fixture on Saturday, September 17, at Sixfields.

Premiership Rugby has indicated that as a result of the rearrangement, Saints vs Irish will no longer be broadcast live on BT Sport.

Saints have provided the following ticketing and hsopitality information...

Season ticket holders and seasonal hospitality guests will be able to attend the rescheduled match as part of their package.
