No Dickson - praise the lord. As I said on the match thread, I thought Ridley had a good game in the semi and let the game flow, so hopefully we should see the exciting game that both teams can deliver

Twickenham sold out already. Great news for the game.

Puja

Sold out sold out, or sold out but we closed half the tiers sold out?

Full Monty

All hospitality tickets, gone

Word is that pre game entertainment from Haircut 100’s front man Nick Heyward had the south west salivating

Great stuff, thanks for the answer

Don't know how true it is but I heard a rumour that Bath didn't hold back any of their allocation for season ticket holders so some missed out. Hope not, they've been waiting long enough for a return to the big game.

Fingers crossed the forecast remains good and we get both sides playing their best.

Really pleased to hear. And well it should be! This has been a really good season in my opinion. I’ve really enjoyed it.

Plenty of good teams, some really good English players coming through, teams doing fairly well in Europe - it’s been great

Good luck to both sides in the final. Don’t mind who wins personally, though with a minor preference for Saints I think

Agreed. If the team scoring most tries wins, I suspect we will have watched a decent game.

Yes, this could well be a cracker and I hope I’ll be able to watch it. Someone’s told me that it’ll be shown on Just Watch” stream. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks!

Will it not be available through the ITV website?

Hell of a backrow match up

Yep, great to see both teams at full strength (as far as I can tell.) Is Ramm injured?

Don't think so- that's the 1st choice back 3 I'd say, and Hendy offers more impact tbh.

Not according to the Saints website - they have the only unavailable player as Braley, so I think it's just selection. Hard lines for him - he's been in great form, but then so have Sleightholme, Furbank, Freeman, and Hendy.

Puja

Both sides keeping the 6-2 bench splits. Hinting at a physical game up front in the offing. Some interesting match ups; Lawes Vs Hill at 6, Mitchell Vs Spencer at 9, Russell Vs Smith at 10. Should be a good game.

Potentially a belter.

Lots of form players in 2 teams that like to play a bit.
