Wow!
Saracens are attacking the Saints line but cough up possession and its hoofed downfield.
The chase from Tom Collins is exceptional and the ball bounces up nicely for him.
He could go himself but with Rotimi Segun covering he generously passes to Henry Taylor to go under the sticks unopposed.
Grayson is faultless from the tee and Saints are back in front!

Magic from Rory Hutchinson!
Saints are back in it and after some hard yards are made by the forwards the ball finds its way to the centre Hutchinson who beautifully pirouettes his way through several tacklers to dot down.
Very well taken try and Grayson reduces the arrears further with the conversion.
Good game this!

Exeter 10-8 Harlequins
Chiefs trailed after Quins went over in the corner but Jonny Hill's converted score has edged the home side in front.
It's been messy, scrappy stuff so far.

Will Skelton has been influential with some big carries in the first-half.
Australia could have done with his help this morning you feel.

End of twitter postConverted try - Saracens 16 - 7 Northamptonpublished at 29 mins
I think that Saints try just angered Saracens as they've been relentless since.
Skelton is involved again with a big carry committing defenders before offloading to Ben Earl who makes darts through a gap before finding full-back Matt Gallagher with a lovely inside pass to put him over the whitewash and extend the lead.
Saints being in the lead feels like a distant memory already.

No sooner are they ahead then Saints are behind again.
All Sarries points have come from the boot of Spencer... but not anymore.

Exeter 0-3 Harlequins
Things haven't gone well for Exeter at the scrum yet and they're not having the best of first halves against Quins.
The visitors are defending excellently.

Ribbans (Grayson con)
All of a sudden the visitors are ahead! And they deserve it on the basis of the last five minutes or so.
A box kick by Spencer doesn't find touch and hulking wing Taqele Naiyaravoro runs it back with gusto.
Alex Coles is almost in at the corner but when he is held up, the ball is recycled well and Ribbans, on his 50th appearance, dives over the ruck NFL style to score.
Grayson adds the extras from the tee.

Saracens 6 - 0 Northampton
First bit of real pressure on Saracens as Saints go through the phases.
But after looking dangerous through a couple of darting breaks, the ball is knocked-on under little pressure by hooker James Fish.
Good defence by the home side but that was an unforced error when well-placed.
Saints yet to register on the scoreboard.

More pressure on the Saints line sees them infringe to give Spencer a slightly tougher shot at goal, which he readily accepts to extend the lead.

Hands!
Incredibly delicate offload from the colossus that is Aussie second row Will Skelton.
That was lovely and it allowed Tompkins to kick in behind and a gang of Sarries usher the covering Taylor into touch for a home lineout.

Worcester 5-10 Leicester
First Worcester's Ted Hill and then Tigers' Tom Youngs - after a driving maul - both cross over amid a bright start to the game at Sixways.
Duncan Weir's conversion for the hosts hits the post, but Tom Hardwick adds the extras for the visitors, so Leicester have a five-point advantage.
