Tom Wood insists that Northampton Saints can overcame Leicester Tigers in the Aviva Premiership final on May 25.

Newly-appointed England captain Tom Wood is confident that Northampton Saints can overcome Leicester Tigers in the Aviva Premiership final on May 25.

The Saints will contest the final after overcoming Saracens at the weekend, with Wood insisting that the club can secure another shock win.

"It was about pulling tight, backs against the wall and come out fighting. It was a big step for us to get to the final and not fall short again," Wood told Sky Sports News.

"Leicester are comfortable in this environment and they have exposed us once already this season but hopefully we can shock them with our intensity. It is about our inner belief and that is what we pride ourselves on."

The final will be contested at Twickenham.
