All you need to know ahead of Saints' Prem final

Northampton Saints and their Shoe Army of supporters are set to travel to Twickenham for a second Prem final in three years on Saturday.

Saints beat East Midlands rivals Leicester Tigers in a thrilling play-off semi-final on Friday and will meet Exeter Chiefs, who shocked Bath in Saturday's second semi.

Northampton, the 2014 and 2024 winners, are seeking a third English title, with about 80,000 fans expected to attend.

Phil Dowson's Saints side topped the table at the end of the regular Prem season, securing them home advantage for last week's win over Leicester.

It completed an impressive turnaround for the Green, Black and Gold after they finished eighth in the previous campaign - though that season did result in a Champions Cup final appearance.

Saints won 14 of their 18 league fixtures this season, two places and nine points ahead of Saturday's opponents Exeter.

The Twickenham showpiece will be a repeat of the side's opening league fixture of the season, which ended in a 33-33 draw after an astonishing fightback from the Chiefs.
