2024 MATCH PREVIEW
The home of England rugby is the place to be this afternoon for the third edition of Big Summer Kick Off. High stakes rugby is the name of the game as Harlequins go in search of a win to bolster their bid for a top-four finish that will secure a place in the end-of-season play-offs. But it won’t be easiest against in-form Northampton Saints. At the time of writing the Saints are sitting proudly on top of the Premiership. Quins stars, including England players Marcus Smith, Danny Care and Joe Marler – will need to be on their mettle.
Jess Glynne has been announced as the headline entertainment act, part of a full day of fun for all the family. The West Fan Village will host a range of activities along with food and drink outlets and fairground rides. There will also be activities on the pitch and around the stadium, including nearby at The Stoop.
