Northampton Saints boss Jim Mallinder has named his team for the home game against Leicester Tigers in the Guinness Premiership on Saturday.

Mallinder said: “When Leicester came back to beat Bath last weekend they showed that they have the ability to play for the full 80 minutes and the quality to create and finish chances. However, we produced some good rugby in beating Bristol and are looking forward to meeting the challenge of facing Leicester.”
