Dylan Hartley says that Northampton Saints have a chance of beating Leicester Tigers in the Aviva Premiership final at Twickenham on Saturday.

Northampton Saints captain Dylan Hartley has expressed his excitement at the prospect of winning the Aviva Premiership final at Twickenham this weekend.

The Saints, who beat league leaders Saracens in the semi-finals, meet Leicester Tigers in the season's conclusion in their first-ever final on Saturday.

While the Tigers are favourites for the match, Hartley is certain that his side have a chance of lifting silverware at the national stadium.

"The prospect of winning the club's first Premiership final in front of 85,000 people at Twickenham is pretty special," Hartley told BBC Sport. "Not with international teammates, but with club mates.

"I want to do myself and the shirt justice. I don't want to let my teammates down.

"As long as one to 15 and your reserves turn up on the day and we play like we did against Saracens, we'll have a chance."

Northampton have fallen at the semi-final stages of the competition for the past three seasons.
