London Irish 48-8 Newcastle: The Exiles come into the match off the back of a surprise defeat by Saracens, but their pack are soon on top

Four first-half tries give Irish a bonus point after just 29 minutes, and Alex Corbisiero scores his side's fifth early in the second half

With the match already won, veteran Mike Catt comes off the bench and scores out wide as the Exiles run riot

Gloucester 22-16 Saracens: Mike Tindall is in impressive form for the home side, helping to set up Olly Morgan's first-half try

Olly Barkley's goalkicking proves crucial as he kicks 17 points in a match dominated by the referee's whistle

But Gloucester's win comes at a price as winger Lesley Vainikolo is carried off on a stretcher with a suspected Achilles injury

Northampton 30-8 Bristol: The match pits two of the Premiership's strugglers against each other, but Saints make the stronger start

Ben Foden is in scintillating form, bursting through to grab a crucial second score for Northampton

Saints hooker Dylan Hartley produces a dynamic performance as his side give Bristol no chance of getting back into the game

And Jon Clarke goes over for his side's third late on as Northampton put some distance between themselves and the bottom of the table

Leicester 22-20 Bath: An in-form Bath side travel to Welford Road hoping to regain top spot in the table

Bath are far the more fluent of the teams in attack, and score two tries to take a 12-6 lead at the break

Bath battle into a 22-9 lead, but Leicester gradually work their way back into the game as the Welford Road crowd gets behind them

And Tom Croft races over in the 78th minute to give fly-half Derick Hougaard the chance to kick the Tigers ahead

There is still time for Bath to set Butch James up with the chance of a match-winning drop-goal, but Lewis Moody charges it down

Wasps 24-18 Harlequins: Languishing in the wrong half of the table, the home side know this is a must-win game

Fresh from a Caribbean break, Danny Cipriani scores 11 points although his problem of having kicks charged down remains an issue

Wasps hold a 21-3 lead at the break, but a sparkling individual effort from Danny Care gives Quins hope in the second half

But the Wasps defence holds firm despite a late Quins onslaught, to secure a vital victory
