Northampton Saints return to cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens on Sunday looking to continue their march toward the top seed in the Gallagher PREM Rugby playoffs.
Fresh off a remarkable performance that saw them score nearly 100 points against Bristol Bears, the league leaders now have an opportunity to strengthen their grip on first place and potentially secure home-field advantage throughout the postseason.

The Saints have been the standard-bearers in the PREM all season, leading the league in both tries and points scored. Their attack has overwhelmed opponents throughout the campaign, and confidence is high after another dominant display.
This weekend also marks a significant milestone for Rory Hutchinson, who becomes the 82nd player in club history to reach 200 appearances for Northampton.
Gloucester Rugby arrive with plenty still at stake despite sitting ninth in the standings. Champions Cup qualification remains within reach, and the Cherry & Whites will be eager to respond following last week's defeat to Saracens.
The visitors make one notable change in the front row, with club centurion Ciaran Knight stepping in for the injured Val Rapava Ruskin.
TWO ROUNDS LEFT.
