    Try: Bath 12-7 Leicesterpublished at 15:33 BST 6 June

    Du Toit (14 mins), con Carreras

    It's Thomas du Toit's second and Bath are in front!

    A stunning kick from Ben Spencer gets Bath up field. From there, Sam Underhill's superb and unselfish work allows du Toit to be able to crash over from short range once again.

    A gorgeous kick from Santi Carreras then adds the extra two.

    Sale have made a superb start in their quest for just a single point that will put them in next season's European Champions Cup.

    Converted tries from George Ford and Ben Bamber put them 14-0 up after just five minutes against Bristol.

    Gloucester are level with Newcastle at 7-7 after a try apiece, and Harlequins v Northampton is also 7-7 with 15 minutes gone.

    As it stands, Gloucester and Sale are in the Champions Cup and Quins miss out.

    It's mistakes.

    The first two line-outs have been poor from Exeter and unfortunately the restart was not as they wanted and they are being punished for elementary errors.

    It's not easy with the very strong breeze that's blowing.

    Thomas du Toit (9 mins), missed con Carreras

    And it proves to be the right call - Thomas du Toit crashes over from close range!

    Short ball to the South African and there is absolutely no stopping him from there.

    Santi Carreras hits the upright with his conversion attempt.

    Bath 0-7 Leicester

    Problem for Leicester and the Sale-bound Nicky Smith.

    He is being looked at by the physio following a head collision.

    Smith is so important for the Tigers, especially in the scrum.

    Bath have a penalty for a deliberate knock-on by Leicester's Hanro Liebenberg and the Blue, Black and Whites kick to the corner.

    Elliott (7 mins), missed con Burke

    After making a hash of his first opportunity Saracens wing Tobias Elliott crosses for his 12th try of the season!

    The visitors found space wide after an ugly-looking five-metre scrum but Elliott opted to come back inside rather than go out where the space was and was tackled when he looked odds on to score.

    Fortunately, Sarries recycled and a short time later Elliott is over the line in plenty of space to give his side an early lead.

    Fergus Burke misses the conversion.

    Bath 0-7 Leicester

    Vicky Macqueen

    It was a really cleverly worked line-out when they managed to peel around the edge, that was the starting point of that and then it's some quick ball.

    Tigers really on fire there, a great start from them. A good try.

    Exeter 0-0 Saracens

    That line-out didn't go to plan for the Chiefs but they are right back on the front foot with Campbell Ridl taking the opportunity to stretch his legs down the wing for the first time.

    We've had a couple of charged down kicks already too - fortunately for the hosts the resulting bounces have favoured them.

    Bailey (4 mins), con O'Connor

    Orlando Bailey against his old club!

    Leicester go on the short side and Bailey slides over with his ease on a ground he knows so well - he joined the Tigers from Bath just last summer.

    James O'Connor nails his first kick of the match. Perfect start to the match for the visitors.

    John Lockyer
    Former Exeter Chiefs captain on BBC Radio Devon

    Thankfully I don't think the weather has been quite as bad as what a lot of people were forecasting.

    It's still a blustery day and it will be interesting to see the trajectory of the ball.

    Exeter 0-0 Saracens

    A nice little darting run from Sarries wing Rotimi Segun who jinks his way through a few tackles.

    I wonder how much the conditions might play a part today, it's not exactly summer weather out there.

    Exeter are on the offensive now and kick it into the corner for a line-out.

    It's pouring down with rain at the Rec… and although the track looks perfect, no doubt that conditions will play its part today.

    It's likely to be an arm-wrestle with an abundance of tactical kicking early on.

    A slip or a drop of the ball could be the difference in what has recently been contest decided by only a couple of points.

    Cracking atmosphere at Sandy Park.

    Fans were filling the stands 90 minutes before kick-off and there is a big-match feel to the place. It's reminiscent of when these two were dominating the league in the period from 2016 to 2019.

    We have had a minute's applause before kick-off for Bath legend Roger Spurrell who sadly passed away at the age of 71 in the week.

    Leicester get us under way at a sopping Rec.

    Whilst I will immediately caveat the following statement by saying it has a long way to go, the rebrand to the Prem and general coverage across platforms has massively improved, and got me interested in club rugby again after falling out of love with it. Well done.

    Bath v Leicester (15:15 BST)

    Dave Attwood

    There is a lot of nervousness about right now.

    Fans who have been watching Bath over the past six to eight weeks don't feel like the team are playing particularly well, they don't look like all the parts of their game are functioning.

    Leicester are obviously flying high and I think they [Bath fans] are really concerned about the possibility of not getting the win today.

  20. Sale out to make a point after poor campaignpublished at 15:12 BST 6 June

    Sale v Bristol (15:15 BST)

    Seventh against sixth here at CorpAcq Stadium, but the chasm of 23 points tells everything about the respective seasons of Sale and Bristol.

    The west country side just slipped out of the race for the top four after wins for Exeter and Saracens last weekend.

    For the Sharks, their hopes of a fourth successive play-off finish ended weeks ago after a terribly disappointing season.

    A tale of 13 defeats out of 17 and four straight losses at home in the league is not a positive one.

    They still need one point to ensure they claim a place in the Champions Cup for next season, not something they would have expected to be in doubt by this stage.
