Exeter 24-12 Saracens, Wasps 24-16 London Irish, Harlequins 20-5 Bath, Worcester 5-34 Leicester
Image source, BBC SportWhat a cracking afternoon it's been. Exeter the big winners - now seven points clear at the top of the table.
But it's an eye-catching result for Leicester at Worcester, they appear to have found their game and could make a late challenge for the play-offs.
Wasps should be secure in that top-four, a routine win for them in the end. London Irish remain 12 points adrift at the foot of the table.
Bath's challenge is looking forlorn after defeat today and their fixtures remaining. Harlequins' bid never got going.
The Premiership now takes a break for a few weeks while the Six Nations concludes. The semi-finals and final of Anglo-Welsh Cup to come too. Bye for now.

Exeter 24-12 Saracens
Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter told BT Sport:
"The important thing when you bring young players in is to bring them in on form and Joe looked increasingly comfortable in training.
"He's been the shadow 10 for a number of games and played very well in the Anglo-Welsh and A league.
"We ask them to merit selection and that's what he's done, it's down to Joe.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall told BT Sport:
"More pleased today than last week, we put a lot of effort in to give ourselves a chance in the second half.
"They had a big bench to unload and we lacked experience at half-time
The scrum has been an occurring problem and one we need to look at."

BBC Sport at Sandy ParkA huge roar at Sandy Park as they final whistle goes. Probably just as much of relief as over ovation.
Saracens were excellent, despite missing almost every famous player that have.
But in the end Exeter had just too much for the European champions
I wonder what will happen if these two sides meet again in the play-offs at the end of the season?

Tuilagi, con Toomua
And there is the bonus point for Leicester!
Manu Tuilagi bursts through the tackles of numerous Worcester defenders to put the Tigers on the front foot.
And the England centre then gets back on his feet to pick up the ball at the base of a ruck and dive over from close range.

du Plessis, missed con Bell
Now then! London Irish have enjoyed plenty of territory in this second half and win another close line out.

BBC Sport at Sandy ParkA standing ovation for young Joe Simmonds.
The 22-year-old has been excellent on his first start at 10 in the league, but has to go off for a head injury assessment.
He’s given his replacement, Chiefs skipper and veteran Gareth Stevenson, a lot to think about.

Saracens just playing for a losing bonus now.
