    Harlequins are a shambles at the moment. They don't look like they're up for it. They need something to get back into this game because if Bristol score next then it could end up being a BIG score.

  2. Postpublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 31 May

    Saracens 5-7 Bath

    Much better from Saracens after Bath took an early lead.

    Rotimi Segun and Tobias Elliott combine for a brilliant break for the hosts before it's brought back for a knock-on by Andy Onyeama-Christie.

  3. No trypublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 31 May

    Leicester 0-0 Newcastle

    And that Ollie Chessum finish won't count for Leicester, and it remains pointless.

    The video replays certainly didn't show that he managed to ground his finish.

    The Tigers are knocking hard on the door now.

    Exeter 0-3 Sale

    Brent Pilnick
    BBC Sport at Sandy Park

    Exeter have started well and really troubled Sale.

    But, as has been the case quite a bit this season, they have given up possession at key moments

    It is early days yet, but Sale look like they will have a tough time here today.

  5. Try reviewpublished at 15:21 British Summer Time 31 May

    Leicester 0-0 Newcastle

    Ollie Chessum is over the line, and seems to think he has grabbed the game's first try for Leicester.

    The on-field call is no try, but the footage will be reviewed.

  6. 'No cakewalk for Gloucester'published at 15:19 British Summer Time 31 May

    Gloucester 7-7 Northampton

    Simon Devereux
    Former Gloucester forward on BBC Radio Gloucestershire

    Northampton Saints have had a bit of territory and now they'll have confidence.

    Yes, they made a mistake early doors but this won't be a cakewalk for Gloucester.

  7. Postpublished at 15:17 British Summer Time 31 May

    Exeter 0-3 Sale

    A great bit of pressure from Chiefs eventually comes to an end without a score following a knock on from Rusi Tuima.

    Sale were at full stretch there to keep the hosts out less than four yards from their own try line.

  8. Disallowed trypublished at 15:17 British Summer Time 31 May

    Luke Northmore (10 mins)

    Luke Northmore hits back for Quins in a frantic opening 10 minutes but it's disallowed for a forward pass before the visitors get held up over the line.

    Try: Saracens 5-7 Bathpublished at 15:16 British Summer Time 31 May

    Rotimi Segun (10 mins)

    A nice move involving Elliot Daly and Fergus Burke gives Rotimi Segan an easy try before Burke misses the extras.

    Tom Pearson (7 mins), con Rory Hutchinson

    Well, that lead didn't last long...

    Off the back of a few big carries it is left to Tom Pearson to muscle over the whitewash.

    And it's Rory Hutchinson who adds the extras to restore parity.

  11. 'Harlequins shellshocked'published at 15:14 British Summer Time 31 May

    Bristol 14-0 Harlequins

    Gareth Chilcott
    Ex-England and Bath prop on BBC Radio Bristol

    Bristol players are on their feet and pumping the ball forwards. Harlequins haven't had an answer; they're shellshocked.

    It's great stuff from the Bears but they need to get more points on the board.

    Joe Batley (6 mins) con AJ MacGinty

    The perfect start for the hosts.

    They've been all over Harlequins from the first whistle and Joe Batley gives them a two-try lead inside six minutes.

    As it stands they're heading for the semis.

    Converted try: Gloucester 7-0 Northamptonpublished at 15:12 British Summer Time 31 May

    Jack Cotgreave (5 mins), con Santiago Carreras

    Gloucester need to win and they have made the perfect start against the Premiership holders.

    Jack Cotgreave is the one to land the opening try at Kingsholm, crossing in the corner.

    Santiago Carreras steps up to land the conversion.

    I wonder if that try will be felt elsewhere...

  15. Postpublished at 15:10 British Summer Time 31 May

    Leicester 0-0 Newcastle

    Well, the levels of emotion have peaked early at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.

    The soon-to-retire trio of Mike Brown, Ben Youngs and Dan Cole lead the side through a guard of honour.

    Their children were with them.

    There is a determination to ensure these three leave the game on a high.

    A win today will earn them all a home semi-final to say goodbye next week...

  16. 'The stadium is packed'published at 15:10 British Summer Time 31 May

    Tom Varndell

    You should hear the noise here. The atmosphere is amazing, and the stadium is packed.

  17. Penalty: Exeter 0-3 Salepublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 31 May

    George Ford (2 mins)

    Perfect start for the visitors.

    Within 40 seconds, Chiefs are penalised for offside and George Ford pops over the first points of the day with a perfect penalty.

    George Kloska (3 min), con AJ MacGinty

    That didn't take long!

    The Bears aren't hanging around here. They go at Quins immediately, taking the ball up to the line, with prop George Kloska diving over the line and setting up an easy kick for AJ MacGinty.

    Great start by the hosts.

  19. Kick-offpublished at 15:06 British Summer Time 31 May

    And off we go!

    The next 80 minutes will determine which three sides will join leaders Bath in the Premiership semi-finals next week.

    For six clubs, their campaigns will end today.

  20. Can Sale make it to the top four?published at 15:04 British Summer Time 31 May

    Exeter v Sale Sharks (15:05 BST)

    Brent Pilnick
    BBC Sport at Sandy Park

    Second place might be a push for Sale - they would need an unlikely Newcastle result at Leicester - but another appearance in the play-offs would match their ambition.

    Exeter have struggled to get a tune out of their side this season - three coaches have been sacked - one fewer than the amount of games that they have won.

    They say goodbye to a season they will want to forget and will hope they can get back to something resembling a winning season next term.
