Northampton Saints Form 


The Northampton Saints bounced back to winning ways in the Premiership with a 30-24 win over the Exeter Chiefs at home last weekend.

Northampton started the second half with a 13-7 lead over their opponents before they scored back-to-back converted tries in the 44th and 48th minutes of the match to extend their advantage to 27-7.

However, Northampton conceded two converted tries in the remaining 12 minutes of the game against the Exeter Chiefs but held onto their lead until the final whistle. 

Before that victory, the Saints lost 38-16 against Bath away from home in their season opener. 

The Northampton Saints will fancy their chances to secure two consecutive home wins in the Premiership this season and their fifth in a row over the Harlequins this weekend.

Fly-half Fin Smith produced an excellent performance, scoring two penalties, three conversions, and a drop goal, taking his tally to 26 points for the season.

Lock Alex Coles scored a try in the eighth minute against the Chiefs, with Chunya Munga and Rory Hutchison also dotting down with a try each in the second half. 

Harlequins Form 


The Harlequins produced an excellent first-half display against the Newcastle Falcons at home last weekend, winning 28-14.

The Harlequins did not have a great start against Newcastle, conceding a converted try after five minutes of play; however, they ran in three unanswered converted tries in the 14th, 23rd, and 31st minutes of the match to lead 21-7 at the break.

The Quins got off to the perfect start in the second half, scoring their fourth converted try a minute after the restart to extend their advantage before Newcastle pulled seven points back with a converted try of their own 14 minutes later. 

Before that result, the Harlequins lost their opening fixture of the season 12-11 against the Sale Sharks away from home. 

The Harlequins have not got the better of the Saints away from home since 2020, losing their last four encounters consecutively. Can they end their losing streak against their opponents with a victory?
