    Jimmy Gopperth (59 mins)

    Wasps find themselves five points down and almost immediately more than halve their deficit.

    The visitors are penalised inside their own 22 and Jimmy Gopperth is up to the challenge, dissecting the posts with his penalty.

    Jonah Holmes, con Ford (57 mins)

    Jonah Holmes has beaten Christian Wade for pace!

    It's a second try in five minutes for the Leicester winger, who used to play for Wasps, and Tigers are back ahead in this see-saw derby.

    Wade was stumbling to be fair to him, but Holmes showed his acceleration after intercepting to run all the way.

    George Ford lands the conversion.

    Jonah Holmes (52 mins)

    Leicester's Jonah Holmes has scored against his old club.

    The ball kept coming left, and left, and eventually Wasps ran out of defenders to allow the winger to go over.

    Valentino Mapapalangi deserves credit for his assist, while George Ford misses the conversion so Tigers remain behind.

  4. Missed penaltypublished at 49 mins

    Wasps 17-10 Leicester

    Juan de Jongh's infringement isn't punished by George Ford's boot.

    His penalty attempt comes off the right-hand post and bounces out.

    The England man would probably expect to make that... it was 35m out and pretty central.

    We were promised a crowd of at least 23,000 at the Ricoh Arena this evening and some photos make it look like there are even more in attendance.

    This youngster seems to be particularly enjoying the game.

    On the pitch - the TMO is debating whether Juan de Jongh has knocked on deliberately... the verdict is yes and Tigers have a penalty.

    Wasps 17-10 Leicester

    Wasps have territory, possession and momentum but put the ball out of play under pressure from their visitors.

    Dai Young's side have no real need to force this.

    Gareth Owen has been replaced for Leicester, due to an injury picked up in that first half.

    The second half is under way.

    HT: Wasps 17-10 Leicester

    As it stands Wasps would move a point above Leicester in the Premiership table.

    Unless Tigers turn this around Gloucester will take their place in the top four.

    Plenty of motivation for both sides to go full on in the second half.

  9. Halfpenny penalty earns Wales victorypublished at 17:25 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2017

    FT: Wales 24-22 South Africa

    Thought the autumn internationals were over? Think again.

    Leigh Halfpenny converted a penalty with 12 minutes to go to ensure Wales won a dramatic autumn international match against South Africa 24-22 at the Principality Stadium.

    Nerves of steel, as ever.

    Let's rewind slightly to the afternoon's second game, which finished a short time ago.

    Gloucester extended their winning run to five games after cruising past London Irish, who had David Paice sent off before half time.

    Harlequins v Saracens (Sun, 15:00 GMT)

    Let's not overdo this - it's only two defeats, and they were without their internationals - but how often do Saracens lose two games in a row?

    Losing their 20-month unbeaten home record to Exeter will have particularly hurt, but Harlequins come into Sunday's match on the back of two away losses.

    Quins will also be without flanker James Chisholm, who is starting a three-week suspension after admitting to tip-tackling Bath scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i last weekend.

    Wasps 17-10 Leicester

    Wasps v LeicesterImage source, Getty Images

    Three tries - one for Leicester which put them ahead but Wasps replied in the manner of a team serious about climbing back into the Premiership's top four.

    Nizaam Carr and Dan Robson got the scores for the hosts, but it's still very much all to play for at the Ricoh Arena.

    Wasps 17-10 Leicester

    Ellis Genge is struggling for Tigers and trudges off, replaced by Samoan Logovi'i Mulipola.

    Everyone is thankful for the break as this has been a pretty bruising half of Premiership rugby union.

    Elliot Daly (38 mins)

    Elliot Daly has some boot on him.

    Leicester concede a penalty from the maul 40m out but it's no issue for England man Daly, who booms it between the posts to further extend Wasps' advantage.

    Wasps 14-10 Leicester

    We started with 10 unanswered Leicester points but the hosts have responded with 14 straight points of their own.

    Each team has had their dedicated spell but we're yet to really see both excel at the same time.

    Telusa Veainu is down for Tigers but gets up and will continue.

    Dan Robson (32 mins)

    Leicester fail the defensive test.

    Dan Robson was held up, moved away and got his chance again moments later - stretching is arm to ground the ball over the try-line for Wasps.

    It was desperate defence by Tigers but they eventually relented to the pressure of their opponents.

    Jimmy Gopperth's conversion gives Wasps a four-point lead.

    Wasps 7-10 Leicester

    Wasps are building now and Christian Wade creates a big overlap on the right.

    He's met with a big tackle but the hosts switch to the left and gain a lot of ground.

    A big test of Leicester's defence here...

    Gloucester 39-15 London Irish

    Well, that dragged out in the end.

    Gloucester extend their winning run to five games, as they run in five tries against a London Irish side that played the entire second half with just 14 men following David Paice's red card just before the break.

    We are a long, long way into time added on now.

    Six minutes to be exact. Gloucester, as they have been doing for a while, are knocking on the door for a sixth try.
