The Barbarians are hoping to field Brad Shields and Dan Robson when they face Saints at cinch Stadium at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday, November 26 (kick-off 3pm).

Back row forward Shields and scrum-half Robson recently found themselves out of work after Wasps went into administration.

But they could now get some game time at the Gardens next month as they are being lined up by the Barbarians.

Earlier this week, we reported how former Saints stars Tom Wood and Luther Burrell have been approached by the BaaBaas for the exciting battle.

And now it looks like there will be another two top names on the list, with more set to follow.

Saints are using the fixture to deliver some top-class entertainment for their fans in the absence of their previously-scheduled Premiership fixture against Worcester Warriors.

The loss of that league game will cost the club anywhere between £350,000 and £450,000, according to CEO Mark Darbon, meaning they have tried to find ways to fill some of that financial hole.

And it is hoped the game against the Barbarians will do that as it will be a historic fixture - Saints have never previously faced the BaaBaas - at the Gardens.

“The Barbarians are rugby’s version of the Harlem Globetrotters, wowing their crowds whenever they play, so we are absolutely thrilled to confirm this historic fixture for next month,” Darbon said.

“Worcester Warriors’ suspension from the Gallagher Premiership leaves a significant hole in our financial forecast (approximately £350,000-£450,000), so the club has acted swiftly to arrange another top-class game of rugby for this date, and we’re delighted with the outcome.

“I’m sure all our supporters will agree that watching the BaaBaas in Northampton is an incredible opportunity, and we are grateful to everyone at Barbarian F.C. for their support in organising the match at short notice.

"We’re looking forward to playing our part in creating a fantastic spectacle at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens.”

Season tickets will be valid for the game, while match tickets will start from £18 for adults. All under-18s tickets are capped at £5. Tickets are available to purchase here.
