  1. Try review: Saracens 15-6 Exeterpublished at 44 mins

    A needless penalty conceded by Jonny Hill - diving off his feet at an attacking ruck - sees Saracens boot their way into the Exeter 22.

    An effective maul is illegally disrupted. Back to the corner Sarries go, now five yards out.

    Another maul edges towards the left corner and the TMO will adjudge on the score...

    ...foot in touch is the call and Exeter survive.

  2. Kick-off: Saracens 15-6 Exeterpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2017

    Away again aside the A1 in North London.

    Can Exeter pick up where they left off?

    A couple of forced Saracens changes: Schalk Brits' injury just before the break has prevented his return and Richie Barrington has failed a head injury assessment.

  3. Kick-off: London Irish 3-0 Waspspublished at 16:05 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2017

    Back underway in the tight affair in Reading.

    How London Irish would love to respond to Worcester's win yesterday.

    Rob Baxter's side were going backwards in the first 25 mins but responded very well towards the end of the half.

    Alas, they only have a couple of penalties to show for that pressure and Saracens, two tries to the good through Alex Goode and Schalk Brits, have the half-time lead.

    Remember, the winner here will be top of the Premiership tonight.

  5. Half-time: Saracens 15-6 Exeterpublished at 15:53 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2017

    Exeter continue to press as we approach half-time.

    Lachie Turner breaks down the right and the Chiefs are back on the Saracens 22.

    But the home side force the penalty at the breakdown and a boot into touch brings the break.

    London Irish 3-0 Wasps

    Penny for the thoughts of Nick Kennedy? His London Irish side have coped really well with the fluid Wasps attack and lead through a Tommy Bell penalty.

    Is their losing run set to come to a welcome end for those of an Exiles persuasion?

  7. Saracens 15-6 Exeterpublished at 36 mins

    Exeter go left and Ollie Woodburn drives towards the line, we have a TMO check for a try.

    It's great work from Alex Goode who got himself underneath Woodburn. He's called to have stripped the ball so Sarries get a 22 restart.

    Very good last 10 from Exeter though.

  8. Saracens 15-6 Exeterpublished at 35 mins

    Suddenly it's all white and Exeter, masters of keeping possession, go through 20-odd phases.

    Only an injury stops the Devonian charge but they do have an attacking scrum on the Sarries 22.

    Tommy Bell

    Having survived all sorts of pressure, London Irish have found some attacking ball of their own.

    Wasps are called for going offside and Tommy Bell opens the scoring.

  10. Penalty: Saracens 15-6 Exeterpublished at 30 mins

    Gareth Steenson

    Exeter work from an attacking scrum 35 yards out.

    They rumble up towards 10 yards out and Mitch Lees finds space up the right wing.

    Thomas Waldrom then almost carries over the line. Saracens survive but concede the penalty under the posts.

    An easy three for Gareth Steenson but it could have been more.

  11. Penalty: Saracens 15-3 Exeterpublished at 22 mins

    Ben Spencer

    Ben Spencer breaks up the left-wing from a scrum and gets Sarries into the Exeter 22.

    The Chiefs go offside in midfield and it's a penalty bang in front of the sticks.

    Spencer's left boot extends the lead.

    And that ends the yellow card period too so Exeter back to 15.

    Ben Franks

    Told you the Wasps pack was in the ascendancy and their pressure has told at the scrum.

    Three penalties in a row in the Irish 22 and Ben Franks goes to the bin.

  13. London Irish 0-0 Waspspublished at 20 mins

    Wasps forwards on top in Reading but no score after the opening quarter.

    Try: Saracens 12-3 Exeterpublished at 14 mins

    Schalk Brits, missed con Ben Spencer

    Saracens kick to the corner and rumble a maul over the line.

    Initially, referee Ian Tempest says it's been held up but the TMO urges a check and the try is given.

    Schalk Brits is credited with the score and he becomes the highest Premiership try scorer of players in the front five.

    This time, Ben Spencer pushes his conversion attempt.

  15. Sin-bin: Saracens 7-3 Exeterpublished at 12 mins

    Nic White

    Saracens threaten towards the 22 and a rouge white arm scuppers the move, is this a deliberate knock on?

    Yes it is, so Nic White goes to the sin-bin.

  16. try

    Try: Saracens 7-3 Exeterpublished at 9 mins

    Alex Goode, con Ben Spencer

    Ideal response for the European champions.

    Nathan Earle claims a box kick on half-way and jinks into space, exchanges passes with Alex Goode, draws the last man and feeds Goode for a run to the right corner.

    Very simple and a smart score.

    Splendid conversion from Ben Spencer from the touchline.

  17. Penalty: Saracens 0-3 Exeterpublished at 6 mins

    Gareth Steenson

    An accurate kicking exchange in the opening three minutes before Exeter run through some phases just inside the Saracens' half and the home side are pinged for going offside in midfield.

    The Chiefs kick into the 22 and attack 10 yards out before Schalk Brits is penalised at the breakdown.

    Straightforward kick for Gareth Steenson and Exeter lead.

  18. Kick-offpublished at 15:01 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2017

    Saracens 0-0 Exeter, London Irish 0-0 Wasps

    Very chilly in North London and I doubt Reading is any better as both our afternoon Premiership games get underway.

    The battle for top spot begins...

    England's autumn internationals have to come to a close and Eddie Jones has tried to develop some depth in his squad.

    But which player not involved this autumn is worth a closer look?

    Does Joe Marler comes straight back into the squad for the Six Nations? Is Marland Yarde too talented to be constantly overlooked?
