Saracens to host Leinster clash at Wembley

SARACENS have confirmed plans to stage their Heineken Cup clash with Leinster at Wembley this season.

Brendan Venter’s men will head to the stadium for the visit of Brian O’Driscoll and company on October 16. Leinster Season ticket holders will be advised of the arrangements for the province’s ticket allocation for this game in the coming weeks.

Saracens’ Wembley experiment last season was a roaring success, with all four matches – including a memorable victory over South Africa – attracting crowds in excess of 40,000. The victory over Harlequins which all-but sealed Saracens a place in the Premiership semi-finals drew a crowd of 47,106.
