    It's tough out there for Leicester today. Every mistake is being punished by this clinical Saracens outfit.

    And that's without injured Maro Itoje.

    The home side have Leicester pinned inside their own half as Ben Youngs launches a huge kick into touch.

    Another golden chance squandered by Leicester. 

    Peter Betham picks a lovely line but as he's wrapped up his offload flies into touch off the hand of Alex Goode.

    And Saracens disrupt the resulting line-out to clear their lines.

    That was brutally efficient. It was a great delivery from Jamie George and the boys drive over.

    It was billed as the clash of the giants, and Saracens are crushing their opponents so far.

    The home side scored early through winger Chris Wyles and Sean Maitland added a second as Farrell came up with a near perfect kicking display.

    Leicester got on the scoreboard through Owen Williams but Saracens suffocated their attacks and forced them into sloppy handling errors.

    Tigers have 40 minutes to wrestle back control of this one...

    Saracens have been far, far more clinical. That's the difference in the teams today - Leicester have spurned a couple of chances. Saracens have taken their's.

  12. Half-timepublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 29 October 2016

    Saracens 17-3 Leicester

    Saracens are firmly in control of this one.

    A couple of tries courtesy of their wingers and they have a comfortable lead over Leicester.

    Tigers will need a remarkable turnaround to change the outcome in the second half.

    Two minutes to go to the break and Owen Farrell misses a rare penalty as his effort strikes the post.

  14. Saracens 17-3 Leicesterpublished at 36 mins

    JP Pietersen take a bow.

    He's just rescued his side there. Chris Wyles with a storming run down the wing and his chip ahead is collected superbly by JP Pietersen who launches the ball to safety.

    But Ed Slater is penalised at the lineout and Saracens will go for goal.

    Harlequins 7-7 Worcester

    It remains 7-7 at the Stoop after early tries from Quins' Danny Care and then Worcester's Jackson Willison, but the hosts' Joe Marler has been sin-binned for collapsing a maul.

  16. Saracens 17-3 Leicesterpublished at 33 mins

    Owen Farrell launches an inch-perfect kick to the corner and Leicester are pinned back in their own 22.

    Ben Youngs with a clearing kick but Saracens have four men in the back field and they'll launch another attack.

    A rare handling error though by the champions.

  17. Saracens 17-3 Leicesterpublished at 30 mins

    Leicester with a good period of possession here and they're keeping the ball well.

    But Saracens' suffocating defence forces the error once again.

    Dan Cole with the knock-on after a poor pass from Ben Youngs and their hard work is undone.

  18. Saracens 17-3 Leicesterpublished at 27 mins

    Saracens aren't committing to the breakdown and Leicester just can't find the space to attack.

    Ben Youngs tries a chip in behind, but it's a kick to nothing and the ball goes dead.

    It could be a long afternoon for the Tigers...

    It is a bit of a loose, aimless kick from Leicester and, after that, Saracens are ruthless!

    Leicester are giving Saracens far too many opportunities to attack in the final third.

    Leicester's defence beautifully exploited by the Saracens attack.

    The ball is floated out to Sean Maitland on the wing, who does well to finish.The Scotland winger crashes over the line for his side's second of the afternoon.

    And, without hesitation, Farrell knocks over the conversion.
