“It’s really exciting to see the Women’s Rugby World Cup coming to our county town, and I’ve no doubt our home-grown fans will give a warm welcome to everyone travelling here to support their teams,” he added.
“The Saints regularly play in front of capacity crowds at Franklin’s Gardens without any incident, and we’re expecting similarly positive matchday behaviour from fans at the World Cup matches.”
The World Cup begins at 19:30 BST with England vs USA at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light.
The Red Roses play their second game, against Samoa, at Franklin’s Gardens on Saturday 30 August, with the stadium also hosting Ireland vs Spain the following day.
Northampton will also see Italy vs Brazil and France vs South Africa on 7 September, the final day of the group stages.
