Bedford Blues will be able to call on some useful reinforcements from Saracens when they take on the British Army in the Mobbs Memorial Game on Wednesday night.

As part of the ongoing relationship between the two clubs, Saracens will be providing a number of players recovering from injury including England Saxons flanker Andy Saull.

Saull, who had been knocking on England boss Stuart Lancaster’s door before suffering his latest injury setback, is nearing a return to full fitness and Saracens see this as a perfect opportunity for their man to be put through his paces in a competitive fixture.

Speaking about the link-up, Blues director of rugby Mike Rayer said: “The Mobbs Memorial Game is always a good opportunity for players needing some rugby to get game time and we are pleased to be able to include a player of Andy’s quality in the squad.

“We have a great working relationship with Saracens and this again shows that it is a two-way street where we are able to offer Andy the chance of a competitive fixture to help his continuing recuperation.

“I’m sure that the lads will enjoy having him in the squad and I’d imagine that the Army lads will enjoy going up against him.”

The Mobbs Memorial Game – which alternates between Bedford Blues and Northampton Saints – against the British Army kicks off at Goldington Road at 7.45pm with a curtain raiser between an East Midlands XV and Army A beforehand at 5.30pm.

Tickets are £10 for adults and £2 for concessions.
