Having already put 50 on a weakened Vodacom Bulls side in last season’s Investec Champions Cup quarterfinals, English Premiership champions Northampton now head to South Africa to look to do “the double” over the Pretoria side this weekend.
Fresh from a 38-8 win over French side Castres, the Saints are on a mission not to just turn up and compete, but to come to Loftus to win, and have taken Glasgow Warriors' epic win in last season’s Vodacom United Rugby Championship final as their inspiration for the trip.
"We've got a lot of respect for Glasgow," Dowson said."We played them last year and we know how dangerous they can be. "This is a game we're excited about and we'll go as strong as possible. We take 30, 31 players and I obviously feel for the lads who aren't coming - it's a frustration for them to be left out of such an exciting trip.
