13 minutes: TRY - Leicester 10-6 Saracens
Bruising run from Alesana Tuilagi, allowing ben Youngs to set up a swift passing move through the backs before centre Matt Smith turns on the burners to sprint clear down the left wing before using common sense to beat two defenders to touch down in front of the posts, allowing Flood a simple two points to convert.

11 minutes:
A snappy Ben Youngs sets up a brilliant forwards-led passing manoeuvre tight on the right touchline involving Castrogiovanni, Jordan Crane and Tom Crofts, who is brilliantly tackled by Hugh Vyvyan just as he is about to collect the ball and bundle over from close range. Try-saving tackle from the Sarries veteran.

10 minutes: Penalty - Leicester 3-6 Saracens
Solid start by Sarries as Chris Wyles goes marauding down the left flank. Referee Pearson is playing advantage for off-side - this time it's Martin Castrogiovanni in the dock - but Sarries can't do much with the ball and the penalty is awarded right in front of the sticks on the 22m line. Up steps Glenn Jackson, the man who won the golden boot a couple of seasons ago, for three more points.

6 minutes:
Lewis Moody wants Glenn Jackson's shirt off his back judging by the open-side's tenacity to chase down the Australian's clearance kick. However, Jackson's boot makes about 50m as Sarries stride deep into Leicester's 22m zone.

4 minutes: Penalty - Leicester 3-3 Saracens
The lead lasts about 120 seconds as referee Dave Pearson as Sarries are penalised on their 22m line. Up steps Toby Flood with a firm right-footed kick and it's all level again.

2 minutes: Penalty - Leicester 0-3 Saracens
Simple kick for Glenn Jackson, who leaves Sarries after this match to become a referee to delight the huge contingent of supporters travelling from north London/Hertfordshire.

1 minute:
Top start for Sarries as Leicester fumble the kick-off, allowing the men in black and red to pack down on the Tigers's 22m line. But the defending champions are penalised for collapsing the scrum - pointing at loose-head Marcos Ayerza as the guilty party.

1732: While the shelves of Leicester's trophy cabinet have buckled under the weight of numerous weighty silverware - the former alphabet club are chasing an unprecedented ninth league title, Saracens have only one title in their locker, the Tetley's Bitter Cup won back in 1998. However, this Sarries side haven't shown too much respect when it comes to home reputations this season, as Leicester found out a few weeks back. Venter's side also ended Northampton's awesome home record and will be pumped up like an old-skool pair of 1980s Reeboks following the suspension of their director of rugby. Sarries to kick off.

1729: This match also marks the end of Lewis Moody's illustrious 14-year career at Welford Road before the man set to captain England on their tour to Australia and New Zealand this summer joins Bath next season. Also heading through the exit door are Ben Kay, Aaron Mauger and Sam Vesty, so expect huge performances on their last outings. The final also brings together The RPA's player of the year Schalk Brits of Sarries and the young player of the year Ben Youngs of Leicester.

From Anon, text 81111: "They had better be good, Magners league final kicks off at 6.30."

1723: It's fair to say this encounter is as spicy as a bucket of Scotch Bonnet peppers. The incident which lead to Venter's ban occurred earlier this month at Welford Road, when Venter was found guilty of "making provocative and inappropriate gestures" during Saracens' 32-23 win against Leicester at Welford Road, the only Premiership team to beat the Tigers on their own patch this season. Meanwhile Tigers boss Richard Cockerill received a stern talking to from the ubiquitous RFU disciplinary officer Judge Jeff Blackett following a few choice words and swift kicks during Leicester's 15-6 win over Bath.

1719: BBC Sport's James Standley at Twickenham:
"Weather report: Dry and overcast. The light rain which had been falling in London eased off a couple of hours ago and with an hour to kick-off it looks like we should have good handling conditions, although the pitch may be a little greasy. Most common shirt on train: Romania rugby polo shirts, sported by the 15 Romanians in my carriage."

1715: So while Brendan Venter watches from the comfort of his sofa in St Albans while surreptitiously keeping an eye on his five-year-old son Joshua, who no doubt will be raiding the (no doubt empty) biscuit tin while his dad is distracted with the action at Twickers, his Saracens team will be in their final preparations as they attempt to wrestle the Premiership title from the clutches of defending champions Leicester Tigers. Unless you've been searching for rare species of marmosets on Irian Jaya over the past week or so, you'll be fully aware that Dr Venter has been banned from making any contact with his team following an appeal hearing in London on Wednesday . Although his ban has been reduced to 10 weeks, the South African has opted to watch the finale at home while his wife and other two children cheer Sarries on from the stands.

LondonTiger on 606: "Well, what I really want is for Tigers to play well and win at a canter. Not sure my heart would survive a tense one."

1705: So who's reading this on an iPad? Makes a very expensive tea tray, as well as a very delicate chopping board. Let's have your thoughts on your first few hours with your new toy, or you can forget that and talk about the climax of an enthralling English domestic season via the 606 website or text 81111 or +44 7786200666 (worldwide) with the word RUGBYU before your message.

1700: Hello Brendan, if you're reading this, mind you don't get any biscuit crumbs in between the keys - they're a right royal pain to clean out. And to everyone else eating wheat-based delights while keeping abreast with the Premiership final between defending champions Leicester and the often-controversial Saracens who are not Brendan Venter, hello.
