What is being said in those changing rooms at half time? 

Can Sale change it in the second half?

And I'm still asking the question, roast beef or roast pork?

Leicester have sold over 25,000 tickets for this afternoon's match at Welford Road, and Quins director of rugby John Kingston has warned his side to be prepared for a hostile atmosphere.

"The two teams have had some real tussles over the recent years and we have huge respect for them," Kingston told BBC Radio London.

"Welford Road is uncompromising. You have got to gets your basics done well and if you are not on your game they will take advantage of it.

"The crowd are engaged massively and the players feed off it, no matter who is playing."

Don't forget we've got coverage of the day's second game straight after this one.

Leicester and Harlequins will battle it out for 199th time this afternoon at Welford Road.

It's one try apiece at half time but Saracens are firmly in control of this one.

Sale need to have better game management in the second half if they're to find a way back into the game.

Alex Lozowski slots a decent effort to give Saracens a six-point lead at the interval.

We're looking at yet another replay. 

It's clearly a deliberate knock-on but lots of cover so only a penalty.

No time for a line-out so Sarries will look to end the half with three more points on the board.

A minute left in the half and Sale will be happy just to see this one out.

But Saracens will have time for one final attack.

They secure good line-out ball as Alex Lozowski looks dangerous once again. Bryn Evans swings a hand at the ball, was that deliberate?

Things have got a little scrappy here but Sale have managed to get the ball clear and out of their 22.

Peter Stringer launches a high box-kick and his side regain possession of the ball as Sam Tuitupou looks to inject some pace into this attack.

But it breaks up again as Sam James punts the ball out on the full. Frustration again for Sale.

But it's still a three-point lead to Saracens as Alan MacGinty's long-range kick drifts wide.

Sale have lost their heads slightly towards the end of this first half.

But they've got the opportunity to steady the ship here as Saracens are penalised for not rolling away.

Director of rugby Steve Diamond will be happy if his side can go in even at the break.

Saracens are in their element now. More excellent handling of the ball and they're creating numerous opportunities on the outside.

The tide has changed here at the AJ Bell Stadium and Sale will want to keep them out with 10 minutes to go before the break.

And we've gone to the TMO.

We're checking a possible knock-on by Sale in the maul and then we need to check the grounding.

Great leg drive from Cameron Neild but have they done enough?

It's Sale with all the possession at the moment and looking the more dangerous side in attack.

Alan MacGinty, from the penalty, punts the ball deep into the Saracens half and the first half of the job is done as they collect the line-out.

Saracens are desperately trying to keep out the men in blue.

Sale with their best attack of the game but they just can't convert these opportunities.

A lovely break and a decent offload by Sam James to Paolo Odogwu on the wing, but he's pushed into touch just metres from the try-line.
