KICK-OFF | Saracens v Leicester Tigers
It's the home team to get the game started after a moment's applause in support of the people of Ukraine. Tigers are playing left to right as we look from the dugouts side. And it's just started raining.

An overcast day in North London, windy and very cold inside the stadium too. Pass us the hot-water bottle. And a tea. And some gloves.

MATCH PREVIEW | Saracens v Tigers
Leicester Tigers are at Saracens exactly two years since their last North London meeting in Premiership Rugby.
When the teams met in early March 2020, Sarries secured a 24-13 home win – with Richard Wigglesworth starting in their No9 shirt – in the final round of games before the Covid lockdown.
At that time the teams occupied the bottom two places in the league table. This week we approached the weekend in the top two in Round 19.
On eight previous league visits, Tigers have won just once here, in February 2018.
Scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet said: “Saracens have been the most consistent team for 5 or 10 years and have set the benchmark for the whole league really.
“We know it is a challenging place to go but we are excited and focused on what we can do better from last weekend because there is a lot we can improve on.”
Tigers wear the club’s change colours of white, black and orange.
Referee is Craig Maxwell-Keys.
