Northampton Saints vs. Harlequins: Both in Top 5 Standings

With Premiership Rugby back in action, Northampton Saints will be taking on Harlequins at Cinch Stadium. With Northampton playing at home, it will be an exciting game to witness as both teams are looking to make some decent changes and win the game. 

Captain Ludlam has announced a decent team with robust replacements who will be giving a tough time to the visitors. On the previous Saturday, Northampton defeated Bath (31-36), which was something unexpected and seriously unpredicted. After losing to Gloucester (35-30), they have won against Wasps (27-22), Saracens (35-46), London Irish (22-42), Newcastle (34-26), and Bristol (39-22). Be it home or away games, Northampton Saints have played smartly, winning 5 consecutive games.

For the upcoming fixture, Stephan Lewies has named his side, featuring Simon Kerrod, Wilco Louw, Alex Dombrandt, Tom Lawday, and many more. Going in the game, Harlequins also has a pretty consistent track record. After an unexpected defeat against Sale Sharks (29-34), Harlequins came back strong and defeated London Irish (14-41), Leicester (26-20), and Montpellier in the second postseason game. Harlequins might struggle against the all-out attack positions of Northampton and their home crowd.

With Northampton Saints playing at home and having 5 matches winning streak under their belt, they can really upset Harlequins. Harlequins haven’t performed so well in their away game, and this would be an opportunity for the Saints to capture Harlequins and get the 3rd spot. It would be a thrilling encounter with one team looking to save its 3rd spot and the other trying to capture the 3rd spot in the points table.
