    Northampton with more pressure inside Worcester territory. 

    Indiscipline at the breakdown gives Saints another penalty and instead of going for goal they back themselves from the line-out...

  11. try

    Try (Cooper-Wooley)published at 20:02

    Harlequins 6-8 Wasps

    Wasps cross for the first try of the Premiership season and it is the tight-head prop Jake Cooper-Wooley with the score.

    Nathan Hughes and Elliot Daly both did well in the build-up before Cooper-Wooley forced his way over from a few metres out.

    The conversion is missed by Jimmy Gopperth, though, so the lead is just two points.

    Richard Moon on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire:

    "At this point in time, Wasps look very strong indeed. George Smith is absolutely everywhere!"

  16. Worcester 0-6 Northamptonpublished at 19:57

    First line-out for Worcester and they set up an impressive driving maul.

    Knowing they had a penalty advantage, Warriors worked through a number of phases but were unable to break down the light grey-shirted Northampton.

    Tom Heathcote will have a shot at goal...

  17. Penalty (Myler)published at 19:55

    Worcester 0-6 Northampton

    Two from two now for Stephen Myler. 

    This one is much further out, but dead centre of the pitch and he slots it with ease.

    The penalty came after Worcester's Tom Biggs lost control of the ball and Luther Burrell chopped him down with an excellent tackle.

  18. Penalty (Evans)published at 19:54

    Harlequins 3-3 Wasps

    Nick Evans levels things for Harlequins and, as the scoreline suggests, things have been rather even so far at The Stoop.

  19. Penalty (Myler)published at 19:52

    Worcester 0-3 Northampton

    Stephen Myler slots a simple kick from just right of centre and the visitors have an early lead at Sixways.

    Harlequins 0-3 Wasps

    Jimmy Gopperth opens the scoring on his debut for Wasps with a straightforward penalty after Harlequins conceded a succession of sloppy penalties.
