Newcastle Falcons are delighted  that Kingston Park will be staging this landmark International, as the club continues to showcase top-class rugby in the North East.

Taking place on the eve of the RBS 6 Nations opener between England and Scotland, who will compete at the home of rugby for the Calcutta Cup, a string of high profile names will be looking to shine in the North East.

It is a long awaited opportunity for the club to showcase the outstanding Kingston Park facility to a wider audience.

Rob Andrew, former Falcons director of rugby and now professional rugby director at the RFU, said: “The Saxons play an important role in our player development and this, our only home game, will be a good gauge of where the next level of players below the seniors are at.  “Kingston Park is a fantastic ground with passionate supporters and I’m sure they will come out in force.”

Director of rugby Dean Richards said: “It is fantastic that Kingston Park will be staging this high profile International and I am very much looking forward to it  and it is the perfect opportunity for families to come to Kingston Park and enjoy top class rugby.
