Scott Steele has snatched a try back for London Irish against Bath, a score that's promptly converted by fly-half Shane Geraghty.

And how about this from Worcester Warriors? They've got the bonus point all wrapped up before half-time - Alex Grove's score putting them 28-10 up against Newcastle.

... And that's much better from the 'wolf pack'.

Saracens finally get some parity at scrum time and win themselves a penalty inside their 22, which Owen Farrell boots over the halfway line.

Stephen Myler is quickest to the ball after Dylan Hartley over throws a line-out, but as Myler throws it up to James Craig out of the tackle, he knocks the ball on.

That does, however, mean another scrum for Saracens to deal with...

The energy of the Northampton pack is showing as they win another scrum penalty.

Saints fans inside Franklin's Gardens let out another roar and although there hasn't been any action close to tries, their front eight is well on top here in the sunshine.

... But it's not going right at set-piece time for Sarries.

Northampton drive low at the driving maul and prevent any momentum, winning themselves a scrum in the end.

Referee Luke Pearce has words with Jacques Burger and Kahn Fotalui'i which ends with a Saracens penalty. 

A deep kick from Owen Farrell and an excellent attacking line-out position for the visitors...

Sam who?

Bath are clearly not missing the recently departed Sam Burgess this afternoon, as centre Ollie Devoto flies over to score a second try, which Rhys Priestland converts for 17-0.

Worcester have also grabbed themselves another try against Newcastle, thanks to Alex Grove out wide, and now lead 21-7.

The scrum at the moment for Saracens is becoming a problem.

This time they are penalised for an early drive and Northampton have themselves a free-kick.

A line-out from Saracens and they make metres from the driving maul which is set.

They then bring in the backs but as it is spun wide Alex Goode gets a huge hit from George Pisi. The Sarries full-back is on his feet soon enough though.

Saracens just lose some momentum in their attack, so England fly-half Owen Farrell puts in a superb grubber to push Northampton to within 15 metres of their own try line.

It's been a terrific start by the Northampton pack.

They got a big shove on at the first scrum and have just won a penalty from the latest one, which Stephen Myler kicks down the touch line.

A good period of possession from Saracens, who work it through the phases, but as it comes out to Brad Barritt he attempts the grubber through and, after ricocheting off a Northampton player, the hosts take control of the ball.

It's all rather short lived for Falcons, however, as Bryce Heem grabs a debut try to make it 14-7 to Worcester.

Someone sounds chuffed...

It has not been the best of starts from champions Saracens but they do often enjoy their trips to Northamptonshire.

A couple more tries to tell you about from our other two Premiership games.

First, Ally Hogg's converted score drags Newcastle level at Worcester, and then Leroy Houston extends Bath's lead over London Irish to 10-0 with a try behind a rolling maul.

We are used to seeing him dazzle in attack but that is great defence from George North, who uses the choke tackle to hold Saracens up in the maul and they have themselves a scrum.

... He's successful and Northampton are on the board.

Straight through the sticks from Stephen Myler.

That's clever play from Kahn Fotalui'i, throwing the ball into Alistair Hargreaves who is returning from an offside position, and Northampton have the first penalty of the day which Stephen Myler will kick towards the posts...

Oh dear. Owen Farrell who kicks straight into touch from the kick-off and Northampton have the put in to the first scrum of the afternoon.

After an impeccably observed minutes silence, Owen Farrell gets us going in a repeat of the play-off semi-final last season.
