Courtney Lawes believes that Northampton Saints have got "as good a chance as anyone" of beating Clermont Auvergne in their own backyard this weekend.

Courtney Lawes remains confident that Northampton Saints can pull off an upset when they take on Clermont Auvergne at the Stade Marcel-Michelin this weekend.

The Saints have been in impressive form on the road this season, in a run which includes two victories away from home in the European Rugby Champions Cup.

They come up against a Clermont side who have not lost any of their last 22 games in the competition, however, as both teams battle for a place in the semi-finals of the showpiece cup.

"I think we've got as good a chance as anyone," the England second-row is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "Clermont are a fantastic team and are capable of beating anyone, but so are we. If we go out there and play like we know we can, we've got a good chance of sneaking a win."

Northampton head into the game on the back of a 22-point victory over Wasps last time out.
