Ultimate Rugby welcomes you to Adams Park where Wasps entertain Northampton Saints. After a two week break from The Aviva Premiership following Heineken Cup and Amlin Cup commitments for both sides, The Saints travel to London as 2nd Place Northampton will be hoping for a win against 8th place Wasps. The home side will be hoping for there first win over Northampton since 2009 when they defeated The Saints 20-15 at Adams Park, and they will be full of confidence after two big wins over French side Grenoble in the Amlin Cup. Northampton will not be short of confidence either after a fantastic victory over Leinster in Dublin last week winning 18-9, gaining revenge for the hammering they took from the Irish side the week before. Northampton's away form has been fantastic in the Premiership this season with their last away defeat coming against Gloucester in September losing narrowly 26-24. Wasps have been very inconsistent at home this season. After losing there last home match in the Premiership against Bath 28-5 they will be hoping for a win against The Saints that would climb them up the table to as high as 5th come the end of the weekend. While The Saints could find themselves top of the table if they win here today and Saracens fail to beat Leicester at home.
