"It's a very daunting task coming to Twickenham as Saracens have made it their second home in recent years, but Worcester have made a good start."

Saracens play the ball from left to right, but Marcelo Bosch's pass to Chris Ashton is dropped by the flying winger near the touchline. Had he held on, we could have been on for our first try of the afternoon, but he did still have a lot of yardage to make up.

Last season, Saracens scored a lot of points against a lot of teams, and Worcester were no different to those on the receiving end of a rampant side.

Early on in this game, both sides have been doing a lot of kicking as they look to gain the early territory.

We're under way in the first of our London Double Header matches at Twickenham.

It's fair to say that defending champions Saracens go into this match as overwhelming favourites against a Worcester side that finished 10th last term.

Saracens and Worcester walk out at Twickenham and in the background is some epic music. I do sometimes wonder if there is a CD for stadiums to use when teams come out onto the pitch...

My personal walk-out music choice? AC/DC's Thunderstruck.

After a disappointing ninth-placed finish last campaign, Bath sacked head coach Mike Ford and brought in former New Zealand captain Todd Blackadder as their new director of rugby.

He has been tasked with bringing some pride back to the 2015 Premiership runners-up, starting with a trip to Northampton.

"We have a massive challenge this weekend away to Northampton. They have some good ball-carriers and play a power game," Blackadder told BBC Radio Bristol.

"We are going to go there and really enjoy it. The boys just want to play now and get on with it. There is real excitement in our camp.

"But we know they're a formidable side so we look forward to the challenge."

Team news for both sides coming up closer to kick-off.

I don't quite know how to describe Louis Picamoles face in his official club photo, but Northampton Saints fans will be hoping behind the confused exterior is a fighter.

But there's another talking point from his new side's starting line-up against Bath - the selection of Harry Mallinder at fly-half.

"Mallinder starred for England Under-20s over the summer and made several eye-catching performances last season for Saints - but at centre or full-back rather than at stand-off," said BBC Radio Northampton's Graham McKechnie.

"And the prospect of Louis Picamoles locking horns with Bath's Taulupe Faletau, with the two number eights making their Premiership debuts, should be the feature of the match."
