More Saints fixtures set in stone as BT Sport agree to show them all
That is because the broadcaster has agreed to show every single league match, all the way up to and including the Premiership final at Twickenham on October 24.
It is good news for supporters, who will not be able to watch games from grounds as the action will be taking place behind closed doors due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
