Tigers fly-half Owen Williams boots long to get us under way in Devon.

The two teams are out at Sandy Park, Exeter Chiefs all in black and Leicester Tigers in green and white.

Now for a minute's silence in honour of Remembrance Day.

Leicester Tigers include England scrum-half Ben Youngs, who has recovered from an ankle injury.

Tom Youngs captains the team in league action for the first time and Jordan Crane makes his first start of the season in the back row.

That's about all the reaction from Franklin's Gardens, so let us now focus on events at Sandy Park...

... Our next focus is at Sandy Park in just over 10 minutes as Exeter take on Leicester.

The Tigers are looking forward to seeing one of their former players it seems!

Saracens extend their lead at the top of the Premiership again with their four points this afternoon. 

Jim Mallinder's Northampton sit down in ninth place with still two matches left of round four to go.

Speaking of which...

So Northampton, who finished top of the pile at the end of last season, have started this new campaign with three loses in their opening four games. 

Saracens are four from four in defence of their title and impressively ground out that match to silence the home fans - Owen Farrell with all the points from the tee.

With the last play of the game, JJ Hanrahan takes a losing bonus point for Northampton with his first kick.

Knowing they have to try to score a touchdown to give them any hope, Northampton are running it from deep.

They have done well here as well, going from well inside their own half towards Saracens territory.

Can they at least finish with a flourish?

JJ Hanrahan has kicked some huge touch finders out of hand, but he spills the ball in the air trying to leap up and Saracens have a scrum.

It's pretty quiet around Franklin's Gardens at the moment and there has been little for the home faithful to shout about in the second half.

Scrum-half Nikola Matawalu has added some gloss to the scoreline for Bath, crossing with the last play of the match to round off a thumping six-try victory over London Irish.

Wasted opportunity for Saracens to wrap up the win.

As close as they have been to the Northampton try line with a number of pick and drives by the forwards, then they give it to the backs and Chris Wyles knocks on from Charlie Hodgson's inside pass.

Another penalty comes Saracens way from a maul, as Northampton are unable to stop the momentum.

This time though they fancy themselves from the line-out and kick to touch.

JJ Hanrahan's attempted kick is closed down and Northampton are causing their own problems at the moment.

Lee Dickson eventually does the clearance job and Jim Mallinder does not look a happy mad with his team heading for a third defeat in the opening four games.
