  2. Looking aheadpublished at 14:22 Greenwich Mean Time 30 October 2016

    As Wasps and Bath both look to stay in touch with Premiership pacesetters Saracens, they have the chance to pull away from Leicester in fourth after Tigers were beaten by the competition leaders yesterday.

    Team news from Wasps' meeting with Newcastle is to follow next, with attention later turning to our main game - Bath's trip to Exeter (15:00 GMT).

    There will also be team news and regular updates from Bristol's game against Sale Sharks.

  3. RECAP: Londoners triumphantpublished at 14:19 Greenwich Mean Time 30 October 2016

    FT: Saracens 24-10 Leicester; FT: Harlequins 36-14 Worcester

    There were two matches on Saturday, with Saracens and Harlequins coming out on top.

    Premiership leaders Saracens beat Leicester Tigers at Allianz Park thanks to tries from Chris Wyles, Sean Maitland and Billy Vunipola.  

    Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall, however, feels his side "didn't get the job done" as they wanted. Tough judge! Read the full report and reaction here.

    Meanwhile, Harlequins scored five tries in a bonus-point win over Worcester Warriors at The Stoop.  

    Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston said he was happy with how his side "moved skillfuly through the gear" on the way to victory. Read the report here.

    By the time Harlequins got through their gears, Worcester only had taillights to look at. Figuratively speaking, of course.

    Good afternoon one and all to our Sunday Premiership live text coverage.

    There is plenty to look forward to as we bring you three matches:

    • Wasps v Newcastle Falcons - Kick-off 14:30
    • Bristol v Sale Sharks - Kick-off 15:00
    • Exeter Chiefs v Bath - Kick-off 15:00

    So while we can't do a humdrum thing like turn your clocks back (no matter how handy a clock-turning fairy would be), you can at least stay with us for the next few hours as we keep you abreast of all the day's top-flight action.

    * Oh, and don't stress. The time on the clock above is not the actual time. That would only be the case if it was about this time yesterday...
