Team news: Robinson back to face Saints

Sean Robinson returns for Newcastle Falcons on Saturday as they end their Gallagher Premiership season with a trip to Northampton Saints. Newcastle have made just one change for the televised 3pm kick-off, with the fit-again second-rower replacing Philip van der Walt, who sustained an ACL injury to his left knee in the Falcons’ last game against Leicester Tigers.

Conor Kenny is in line for his competitive debut after being named on the bench, with the former Connacht prop having missed most of the season due to a neck injury sustained during the pre-season victory at Glasgow.

Newcastle have won on their last three Premiership visits to cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens, with head coach Dave Walder adamant they are travelling with the intention of crashing the Saints’ play-off party.

Bad news on VDW. That leaves us with Dalton, Merrick, Peters and De Chaves to compete with the two regulars.
Saints only need the two points but they've got a strong squad out so they'll probably get that and more.
Good to see Kenny involved.
