Northampton Saints v Exeter Chiefs LIVE - Prem Rugby Final latest as sides prepare to meet at Twickenham

The next time they emerge it will be to a cacophony of noise.

"Raucous spectator and good luck charm one week, the next out on the pitch and potentially playing a match-winning role in a Gallagher PREM final.

"It's been quite the month for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, as the England winger suffered a jaw injury that look like it might rule him out of the season end. But after being cleared to play by England (Elite Player Squad rules dictated they had the final decision), he has emerged jauntily onto the Allianz Stadium pitch to go through his warm-ups, giving a thumbs up to TNT's Sam Warburton on the way.

"His battle for wing supremacy with Northampton's Tommy Freeman promises to be one of the defining areas of the final - and with England in Nations Championship action against double world champions South Africa in just two weeks time, it could also decide who features in that mouthwatering tie in Johannesburg."

Henry Slade was player of the match, scoring a try as Exeter sealed a domestic and European double in 2020 and now - after some lean years - is delighted to be back.

"Blue smoke fills the Twickenham air as Exeter walk through the thronging masses towards the bowels of HQ.

"Green smoke does the same as Northampton make their arrival, as kids with black Pollock headbands try and spy their hero.

"If rugby did Glastonbury...(credit to our Craig Doyle for that one).

"The countdown is on for kick-off, and the consensus on the ground is that this will be a heck of a close call.

"Northampton have been the standout side this term, but what value will Exeter's momentum have? Can they seize what would be arguably their greatest ever triumph, after their annus horribilis in 24/25?"

They will play right to left.

The squad have just walked into Allianz Stadium through the hordes of fans gathering outside Twickenham.
