Quins get us underway!

Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of this LV Cup clash between Saracens and Harlequins. A perfect day for a London Derby. Saracens have had good form in the premiership so far this season, but with a markedly changed side from their loss to Munster last weekend, will have a point to prove at home. Maro Itoje the England U20s captain will lead the Saracens attack and defence. Certainly a player to watch this afternoon. Quins have not had the best run of form recently. Struggling in the premiership so far this season they will look to their fringe players today to get off to a good start in the LV Cup. A strong performance against Wasps weekend will surely have them buoyant coming into this but today's game will certainly be a different challenge. Kick-off is just minutes away. Stay with us for coverage throughout.
