Saturday games scarce for Saints in November

TELEVISION TUSSLE - Saints' game at Saracens has been moved and will be shown live on BT Sport

Jim Mallinder’s men face five games in the month, but only one - the LV= Cup home game against Newcastle Falcons on November 1 - will take place on a Saturday.

The LV= Cup round two game at Scarlets has been arranged for Friday, November 7, with an Aviva Premiership fixture against Exeter Chiefs following seven days later.

None of those matches will be televised but the mouthwatering showdown with Saracens at Allianz Park will be on BT Sport and has been moved to Sunday, November 23.

The final game of the month, the league trip to London Welsh, is also on the Sabbath, at the Kassam Stadium, however it is not being televised.
