Match Preview
Northampton Saints
v
Exeter Chiefs  
Saturday March 22nd

Second place Exeter Chiefs make their long awaited trip to table topping Northampton Saints at Franklin's Garden's this saturday. There are few tickets left and the game could be a 13,500 sell out for the showdown between the top two sides in ND1.

Saints could secure a return to the guinness Premiership if they beat the Chiefs.  The fixture has been given added spice because the sides will meet 3 weeks later in the EDF Trophy final at Twickenham.  The Chiefs will take a lot of positives from the last 3 games into this match and will be looking to end the Saints unbeaten run since they joined ND1.  They will also be looking to lay down a marker for Twickenham where they (Chiefs) have yet to win.  

Whatever happens both teams will be looking forwards to this game, Saints to show their Premiership credentials and the Chiefs to keep  a positive note going to the season's end.

Here's one Chiefs fan who can't wait for Saturday.
