Northampton vs Saracens live stream: How to watch rugby Premiership semi-final 2024 online, team news

Table-toppers Northampton host reigning champions Saracens today, in a matchup that the Sarries were desperate to avoid. Only once in the past decade has an away team won a Premiership semi-final, and to make matters worse, the Saints have lost one measly game at Franklin's Gardens all season. Here's where to watch Northampton vs Saracens live streams online from anywhere. 

Northampton: George Furbank; Tommy Freeman, Burger Odendaal, Fraser Dingwall, Ollie Sleightholme; Fin Smith, Alex Mitchell; Alex Waller, Curtis Langdon, Trevor Davison; Alex Moon, Alex Coles; Courtney Lawes (c), Tom Pearson, Juarno Augustus

Replacements: Sam Matavesi, Emmanuel Iyogun, Elliot Millar Mills, Temo Mayanavanua, Sam Graham, Lewis Ludlam, Tom James, George Hendy

Saracens: Elliot Daly; Alex Lewington, Lucio Cinti, Nick Tompkins, Tom Parton; Owen Farrell (c), Ivan van Zyl; Mako Vunipola, Jamie George, Marco Riccioni; Maro Itoje, Nick Isiekwe; Juan Martin Gonzalez, Ben Earl, Billy Vunipola

Replacements: Theo Dan, Eroni Mawi, Ollie Hoskins, Hugh Tizard, Theo McFarland, Tom Willis, Aled Davies, Alex Lozowski

With Owen Farrell, Billy Vunipola and Mako Vunipola on their way, this campaign marks the end of a glorious era for Saracens, and until a fortnight ago it was all going to plan. They had home advantage in their grasp but dropped to fourth in the standings by falling to a shock defeat by Sale in the very last round.

It means the departing trio have already played at StoneX Stadium for the very last time, and to make matters worse the Men in Black are now up against a team that did the double over them this season.

Northampton wing Ollie Sleightholme was the Premiership's top try scorer during the regular season, while young gun Fin Smith – the league's No.2 points scorer behind player of the season Henry Slade – could rub salt into Farrell's wounds, having made a compelling case for being appointed his long-term successor at fly-half for England.
