Facing the European champions in a top of the table clash - what a game to make your first Premiership start.

Exeter's 22-year-old fly-half Joe Simmonds comes in for veteran Gareth Steenson at 10 today.

He's from good stock though - his older brother is England back-row Sam - but Joe has made just three late appearances in the league this season and two in the Champions Cup.

But if his brother's impact over the past 12 months is anything to go by, this may well be the first start of many in an Exeter shirt.

There was no way this afternoon's big game at between Exeter and Saracens at Sandy Park was going to be called off.

Exeter roped in everyone to clear the snow - even chief executive Tony Rowe picked up a shovel to help remove snow from the pitch.

The good news is the snow has more or less melted, so barring some sort of unforeseen weather catastrophe this afternoon's game will go ahead.

Hello, hope you're basking in temperatures as tropical as five degrees celcius (six in urban areas) - spring has arrived!

While the snow melts away, we have a bumper afternoon of Premiership action to bring you with two games moved because of the weather.

Exeter v Saracens should have been yesterday's headline act - instead it takes top billing today in a repeat of that momentous semi-final from last season.

Bath and Leicester both have tricky away games to keep their play-off bids on course and can London Irish back up last week's win by upsetting Wasps in Coventry?

So get the tea brewed and settle in.
