Penalty awarded to Chiefs who kick to Saints 22.

First scrum coming up awarded for a Saints knock-on at half-way.

TRY SAINTS. Saints win the lineout and spin the ball left and right. Ball is then flung 20 metres to Hartley who squeezes over in the corner. Excellent start from the home side! Can the chiefs now respond....

Line out to Saints. Touch judge has his flag out, TJ took Saints jumper out in the air. Gets a stern talking to. Saints turn down 3 points

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Aviva Premiership with Northampton Saints hosting Exeter Chiefs at Franklin’s Gardens. A daunting opening matches for the visitors here this evening! It is, however, a fixture that is sure to whet the appetite of everyone associated with the Chiefs, who will be looking to claim the scalp of the East Midlanders for the first time on their own patch. In three previous top flight meetings at the Gardens, the best Baxter's side have managed to achieve is a losing bonus point on two occasions. It's a statistic the Exeter head coach is clearly keen to rectify in this seasonal opener. Northampton have the makings of a team that could achieve great success across all competitions this season. With Foden and North now very much part of their back 3 set up, they bare huge offensive capabilities with ball in hand and it will be very interesting to see how these players get on today. We are all set and ready to go here, I hope you enjoy this afternoon’s coverage!

It's not on TV but you can watch the game on premiershiprugby.tv 3 hours after the final whistle.

Is this televised?

Coys!

Come on you saints!!!

Come on the chiefs
