Thanks for joining us across the weekend, we'll be back with more live rugby union radio and text commentaries on BBC Sport next weekend.
Until then, goodbye.
The curtain falls on round five
FT: Leicester 21-11 Bath
Well round five of the Aviva Premiership did not disappoint, with the success in Europe more than matched by the quality of the rugby this weekend.
Who were the winners? Well Saracens look ominously good. Exeter again showed their continual progress and Leicester are again maneuvering themselves into position.
Newcastle Falcons got a first point, and avoided a defeat in the league for the first time this season. That's progress.
However, Bath won't be happy down in eighth and London Irish are still without a win.
FT: Leicester 21-11 Bath
Bath coach Mike Ford told BT Sport:
"We were good enough to win I think, first half we did well, played some decent football.
"Their intercept try was the turning point, we got level and didn't take opportunities.
"Fair play to Leicester, they got us into an arm wrestle but we're disappointed to come away with nothing.
"We'll re-group, it's a long season and we've got plenty of games to go."

Man of the Match Leicester back-rower Mike Williams told BT Sport:

"However, we came out and showed fight. We showed after 80 minutes we proved we came out on top.
"Every game is tough in the Premiership. Bath one of the biggest teams. There were massive hits all round. It's tough and I'll be paying for it tomorrow."

Of course, this is game six of six in round five of the Premiership - and it's been a corking weekend of rugby union so far.

I've not seen such an artful display of pick-pocketing since I was made to watch Oliver on Christmas Eve a few years back.

Wowzers, when was the last time you saw rain quite like this? These conditions may not make for flowing rugby but, as Dave Egerton says, it's still good fun to watch.
So which way do you see the second half going? Please do let us know via#bbcrugbyon Twitter.

With Sam Burgess now back with the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the Australian National Rugby League (registration permitting), Bath turned to Scotland international David Denton to bolster their back-row stocks.
Former Edinburgh man Denton is a classic modern back-rower, away from the usual set-piece and breakdown responsibilities, he's also adept at ball-carrying, has smart hands and naturally loves a tackle.
Scotland head coach Vern Cotter has kept the 25-year-old part of the set-up, and he was in the side that lost dramatically to Australia in the 2015 World Cup quarter-finals.
He's yet to make his Bath bow, but is on the bench today.

The 28-year-old will chalk up his 200th appearance in the blue, black and white this afternoon as part of a dynamic centre partnership with Kyle Eastmond.
Congrats to the Jerseyman, who on his day is near unplayable.
The Aaron Mauger effect
Leicester v Bath (15:00 GMT)
Rex FeaturesCopyright: Rex Features
Like or not, Leicester Tigers have a reputation for a particularly dogged style of play, built on a massive pack to bully and dominate the set-piece.
However, the current Tigers incarnation have done much to buck that trend, particularly with the appointment of ex-All Black Aaron Mauger as head coach to complement the rugby brain of director of rugby Richard Cockerill.
Throw in exciting talent such as Wallabies three-quarter Peter Betham, Kiwi flanker Brendon O'Connor and club captain Ed Slater, and the Tigers have different dimensions to their usual physicality.
"Our skill-sets are very different but his is perfect for what we needed to bring into the club, so it fits very well."
Bath show European pedigree
Leicester v Bath (15:00 GMT)
The unfortunate events in Paris over the opening weekend of matches meant the postponement of an eagerly-awaited encounter with European Champions Cup holder Toulon at the Stade Mayol.
However, Mike Ford's side were able to stage their second group stage match against former champions Leinster at The Rec last weekend, and showed their ability to match the Pro12 side with a hard-earned 19-16 victory.
It came down to a battle of the 10s, with England's George Ford outscoring Ireland's extremely gifted Jonathan Sexton to seal the win.

Fortress Welford Road
Leicester v Bath (15:00 GMT)
Leicester certainly have history on their side when it comes to this fixture, at Welford Road at the very least.
Bath's last successful trip to the East Midlands was back in 2003, edging by a single point a Tigers side bolstered by the return of recent World Cup winning captain Martin Johnson.
Even then, that was the first win there since 1995. So hoodoo is probably an understatement.
At The Rec it's a different story, as last season's 45-0 and 47-10 victories - the latter in a Premiership semi-final no less - testify.

If there was ever a game to symbolise English club rugby, then perhaps it is Leicester versus Bath.
Two clubs steeped in history, to some extent purveyors of different brands and styles of the game, from separate union hotbeds.
Today's match at Welford Road is the 188th meeting of the two powerhouses, so settle down and follow it via radio and text commentary here with BBC Sport.

Man of the Match Leicester back-rower Mike Williams told BT Sport:
"We knew it would be a massive physical battle, Bath are one of the biggest packs in the Premiership.
"However, we came out and showed fight. We showed after 80 minutes we proved we came out on top.
"Every game is tough in the Premiership. Bath one of the biggest teams. There were massive hits all round. It's tough and I'll be paying for it tomorrow."

Introducing David Denton
Leicester v Bath (15:00 GMT)
With Sam Burgess now back with the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the Australian National Rugby League (registration permitting), Bath turned to Scotland international David Denton to bolster their back-row stocks.
Former Edinburgh man Denton is a classic modern back-rower, away from the usual set-piece and breakdown responsibilities, he's also adept at ball-carrying, has smart hands and naturally loves a tackle.
Scotland head coach Vern Cotter has kept the 25-year-old part of the set-up, and he was in the side that lost dramatically to Australia in the 2015 World Cup quarter-finals.
He's yet to make his Bath bow, but is on the bench today.
200 up for Banahan
Leicester v Bath (15:00 GMT)
There are a couple of players celebrating milestone appearances, including Matt Garvey and Ed Slater on opposite sides.

The 28-year-old will chalk up his 200th appearance in the blue, black and white this afternoon as part of a dynamic centre partnership with Kyle Eastmond.
Congrats to the Jerseyman, who on his day is near unplayable.
The Aaron Mauger effect
Leicester v Bath (15:00 GMT)
Like or not, Leicester Tigers have a reputation for a particularly dogged style of play, built on a massive pack to bully and dominate the set-piece.
However, the current Tigers incarnation have done much to buck that trend, particularly with the appointment of ex-All Black Aaron Mauger as head coach to complement the rugby brain of director of rugby Richard Cockerill.
Throw in exciting talent such as Wallabies three-quarter Peter Betham, Kiwi flanker Brendon O'Connor and club captain Ed Slater, and the Tigers have different dimensions to their usual physicality.
"We test each other, we work well with each other and, crucially, we question each other too,"Cockerill said in his Leicester Mercury column this week.
"Our skill-sets are very different but his is perfect for what we needed to bring into the club, so it fits very well."
Bath show European pedigree
Leicester v Bath (15:00 GMT)
The unfortunate events in Paris over the opening weekend of matches meant the postponement of an eagerly-awaited encounter with European Champions Cup holder Toulon at the Stade Mayol.
However, Mike Ford's side were able to stage their second group stage match against former champions Leinster at The Rec last weekend, and showed their ability to match the Pro12 side with a hard-earned 19-16 victory.
It came down to a battle of the 10s, with England's George Ford outscoring Ireland's extremely gifted Jonathan Sexton to seal the win.
Tigers enjoy European sojourn
Leicester v Bath (15:00 GMT)
Richard Cockerill's Tigers came through the European break with a 100% record from their Champions Cup matches.

Tigers then travelled to Italy to pick another try bonus-point success - winning 36-3 against Benetton Treviso.

Fortress Welford Road
Leicester v Bath (15:00 GMT)
Leicester certainly have history on their side when it comes to this fixture, at Welford Road at the very least.
Bath's last successful trip to the East Midlands was back in 2003, edging by a single point a Tigers side bolstered by the return of recent World Cup winning captain Martin Johnson.
Even then, that was the first win there since 1995. So hoodoo is probably an understatement.
At The Rec it's a different story, as last season's 45-0 and 47-10 victories - the latter in a Premiership semi-final no less - testify.
Two old foes meet again

Today's match at Welford Road is the 188th meeting of the two powerhouses, so settle down and follow it via radio and text commentary here with BBC Sport.
