    "It was a no brainer for me to come back."

    That's what Leicester's new head coach Matt O'Connor says about his return to Welford Road, after working as a coach under former director of rugby Richard Cockerill.

    Today is his first home game in charge, and what an important one it could be on a day their closest rivals for a top-four spot Bath also play.

    Standing in their way is a Newcastle side that is just one point behind eighth-placed Gloucester with three matches left to play.

  2. Friday night recap

    Harlequins 26-39 Exeter Chiefs

    The Easter weekend rugby union festival of fun began on Friday, with a game that saw Exeter move level on points with Premiership leaders Wasps thanks to a defeat of Harlequins.

    Two tries by Lachie Turner helped give the Chiefs a 39-26 victory which may well prove costly for Quins' play-off hopes.

    "The business end of the season."

    We don't have to tell you that the points on offer today count for exactly the same as those from matches earlier in the season. But somehow fixtures towards the campaign's finish end up meaning that teeny tiny bit more.

    With much to play for today, we welcome you to our live text and radio coverage of Saturday's Premiership action.
