Northampton Saints’ Investec Champions Cup match away in South Africa this weekend is being screened live at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s as part of a unique double header with our women’s team, Loughborough Lightning.
The men in Black, Green and Gold are tackling the Vodacom Bulls in Pretoria on Saturday (14 December), with the action getting underway at 1pm UK time.
Supporters can cheer on Phil Dowson’s side from screens in the Members Bar in the Barwell Stand, with doors opening from 12.45pm, with food and drinks available.
Shortly after the conclusion of the fixture at Loftus Versfeld, people can then take in a Premiership Women’s Rugby match live and in person at the Gardens when Lightning take on Harlequins (kick-off: 3.05pm).
There will be fun for all the family including meet and greet with Loughborough Lightning players, face painting, and the chance to make your own sign to hold up for the game. There will also be live music at half time and post-match in Members Bar.
“This is a unique opportunity to watch our men and women’s teams play competitive rugby in two different hemispheres on the same day,” said Connor Fleming, Community and Women’s Rugby Director at Northampton Saints.
“For the price of a stocking filler, you can enjoy a whole afternoon of rugby with us at cinch Stadium, with lots going on to entertain your family if you bring them along.”
