SAINTS' Betfred Super League Round 19 away fixture against Warrington Wolves has been moved from Thursday 25 June to Sunday 28 June.
The previous weekend has been designated as an International Rugby League weekend which could see England play an International fixture.
Should this game be played anywhere other than the UK, it could mean players from both clubs that are selected for England, could not be available due to travel commitments and insufficient recovery for one of our biggest games of the season.
Both clubs, and Super League, have taken the proactive step to move the fixture now, rather than have a fixture whereby neither team would be able to field their strongest teams or move the fixture at the last minute based on International team selection.
