    Leicester 0-3 Harlequins

    Both sides are looking comfortable under the high ball so far.

    Matthew Tait takes the ball cleanly and Freddie Burns launches a kick to the corner, but he hasn't got the angle and we'll come all the way back.

    We've got a first put-in at the scrum on the half-way line for Quins and they get the nudge on this time.

    Saracens hooker Schalk Brits speaking on BT Sport:

    "It was a tough game. Sale are a a physical and well-drilled side and it took us a while to break them down.

    "My body is sore, I don't know if it's age or Sale but it was a good day.

    "The boys make me look good, it's great playing with them and a privilege to put on this jersey.

    "When the older boys are away on international duty, the younger boys get a chance to play and show themselves."

    It was a really good away performance from Saracens and they took their chances. When we made our errors, especially in our 22, they took full advantage of it. It was a frustrating day for us and we need to look at our individual errors. If you take those away, we were right in the match.

    Jonathan Mills, Sale lock on BBC Radio Manchester.

    Sale 13-28 Saracens

    Saracens, at the fortress that is the AJ Bell Stadium, come away with an easy victory over Sale and move back to the top of the Premiership table.

    Sale had a lot of possession but just didn't have the conviction to put big points on the board and only managed one try to Saracens' three.

    Sale 13-28 Saracens

    Sale's real live wire this afternoon has been Paolo Odogwu and he's got his hands on the ball again.

    He's dancing through the midfield and Sale are into the Saracens 22.

    They've been up there 10 times today, but have only come away with one try.
