Northampton's Jon Sleightholme has signed a new three-year deal with last season's Allied Dunbar Premiership runners-up.

Scotland will take on the Reiver Men as part of their World Cup preparations. The match has been scheduled for 1 September as a fund-raising event for the St Boswells club in the Borders. The Reiver Men, a team made up of amateur players from the Border region, will be coached by John Jeffrey, the former Scotland international.
