Team News

Northampton Saints

Hooker Curtis Langdon has stated that Northampton will be throwing everything into their match against Gloucester this weekend: “This week, we’re just focusing on ourselves – our process, our system – throwing ourselves into that, and we’re confident that if we do that, we’ll perform well back at home against Gloucester.

“We saw the response following the loss to Bristol, the response we had as a group going into that Bath week. The challenge is about how we can create that emotion every week to drive our performance. It’s something we’ve got to work and build on as a squad.”

England fly-half Fin Smith picked up a calf injury against Leicester and is a doubtful starter.

Loosehead prop Jordan Els has signed a contract extension with Northampton until the end of the 2026/27 season.
