    It was a hell of a start from Wasps. It looks like we've settled down and composed ourselves now. But it's important we get some points on the board."

  3. Saracens 3-19 Waspspublished at 17 mins

    Saracens show their dominance at the scrum and Wasps are penalised by referee Ian Tempest for not driving straight.

    Charlie Hodgson kicks for the corner rather than at the posts.

    Saracens on a mission here to claw back the early deficit.

    Dan Robson almost pinches the ball to run it into Saracens' half, but his opposite number Ben Spencer puts in a big booming kick down the ground to put the pressure back on Wasps with a line-out on the edge of their own 22.

    Alistair Hargreaves closes the gap too early as he jumps for the ball.

    As a neutral it's great to watch, but slightly worrying from a Sarries point of view."

    It seems a little bit flat. Our defence doesn't look as switched on as most weeks."

    Well, what is going on here?

    George Smith finds acres of space through the Saracens defence and he can calmly shift the ball to his scrum-half Dan Robson to almost walk it in.

    Gopperth on target with the boot to add the extras.

    Wow! Some start this from the visitors.

    From inside their own 22, Josh Bassett bursts down the left and then offloads inside to Thomas Young.

    From one end to the other, Wasps have stung the defending champions early.

    Saracens 0-5 Wasps

    From five metres out, Christian Wade is brought down. Wasps work it left, Elliot Daly is almost there, but they keep their composure, find the numbers out wide and Charles Piutau gets the early try.

    Jimmy Gopperth not on target though from the tee with the conversion.

    Early fumble in the air by Wasps gives Saracens an opening scrum.

    Saracens v Wasps (16:00 GMT)

    It's not that long ago since these two teams were last going up against each other - five rounds ago on 27 December to be precise.

    Saracens took the festive spoils on that day at the Ricoh Arena in a 26-16 victory.

    Owen Farrell - who was otherwise engaged in Rome this afternoon in England's 40-9 win against Italy - contributed 21 of those points. Duncan Taylor chipped in with the other five.

    It's going to be a hell of a battle out there. You look at the team sheets and there's still a lot of world class players on the pitch today. It's very exciting."

    Saracens v Wasps (16:00 GMT)

    Results elsewhere this weekend have so far gone in Saracens' favour, but not Wasps'.

    Exeter's defeat at Sale on Saturday means the defending champions can stretch their lead further with a win today.

    Wins for Northampton, Sale and Gloucester yesterday have seen Wasps slip to eighth.

    But, Dai Young's side could climb as high as fourth with a win.
