Certainly no intention from London Irish to lie down and let Wasps play here.

Smart breakdown work keeping Wasps on the front foot though and they have a penalty coming.

Chris Noakes slots a penalty kick through to pull London Irish level.

It was reward for adventure with ball in hand and a great move from London Irish with Ofisi Treviranus through the line but Sailosi Tagicakibau makes a huge tackle to shut it down.

Great exit kick down field from Alex Lewington puts Wasps right back in their own 22.

Line-out taken quickly, but territory-wise Wasps are right back deep before Joe Simpson thumps the ball back downfield.

Open game so far, Elliott Daly looks a threat even in these early stages.

Ruaridh Jackson slots the kick from just inside the 22 and Wasps take an early lead.

Wasps are battering away on the London Irish line. Pick and drive, pick and drive.

Exiles hold firm but they're caught offside and Wasps have a penalty.

Wasps get an early line-out and look to drive the set-piece.

Doesn't take long for the expansive game to come out though and Dai Young's side are in the Exiles 22.

We are underway and the ball goes down to London Irish from the Wasps start.

Matt Symons leads his London Irish team-mates out of the tunnel to a warm reception from the Exiles support.

Can they rise to the big occasion here at HQ? They need a win to give their season the kick-start.

Kick-off not far away, teams preparing to emerge from the tunnel, making their final preparations.

James Haskell has a steel about him as he leads Wasps from their dressing room and out of the tunnel.

Saracens make it five wins in a row then to keep their place at the top of the Premiership, with a try bonus point to boot.

Exeter's nailbiting win against Harlequins keeps them close on their heels, while Leicester or Bath could leapfrog Quins with a good result tomorrow in their head-to-head.

Wasps must match their European performances to pull clear of that bottom pack, while London Irish know the pressure is on after Newcastle's hard-earned draw with Sale at the other end of the table.

Wasps skipper James Haskell makes his 100th Premiership appearance for the club on familiar soil for the experienced England international.

They might not have yet found their Premiership rhythm but Wasps certainly buzzed into life in the European Champions Cup.

Victories against two European giants in Leinster and Toulon suggest Dai Young's side have hit form at just the right time.

The win against holders Toulon was particularly satisfying as the Coventry-based side picked up a try bonus point while keeping their illustrious opponents to just two penalties.

Not the result the Exiles will have been wanting before today's encounter...

London Irish have World Cup winner Ben Franks set for his Premiership debut in the front row in the second game of the London double header at Twickenham against Wasps.

Fresh from helping New Zealand to victory in the World Cup final against Australia at Twickenham, Ben Franks will make his Premiership debut at 'HQ' for London Irish with Wasps the opposition.

Franks, 31, has 47 appearances in the All-Black jersey to his name and arrives in the Premiership after a career spent in the elite Super 15s with the Hurricanes and Crusaders.

"I've never played anything other than a Test at Twickenham, so that's going to be exciting," he told BBC Sport.

 We've had some great games already this afternoon but we have one more match to guide you through, as London Irish take on Wasps in the second game of the London double-header at Twickenham.

We've had a draw between Sale and Newcastle, a narrow victory for Exeter over Harlequins and eight tries already at Rugby HQ as Saracens beat Worcester comfortably.

What will the final game of the day have in store?

And that is the game. Saracens put in a clinical display and scored some brilliant tries as they crossed the whitewash six times.

Worcester come away from their debut at Twickenham with two consolation tries for their fans to cheer, but Sarries were dominant in the second half.

The Premiership champions have won all their games so far this season.
