It’s first versus second in Aviva Premiership Rugby this weekend as Saracens travel to Sandy Park to face Exeter Chiefs on Saturday live on BT Sport. Coverage starts at 2.30pm on BT Sport 2 and BT Sport 4K UHD as Saracens look to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat to Leicester Tigers and move back to the summit of the table. The Chiefs start Round 17 four points ahead of Saracens after their late 31-30 win over Northampton Saints last weekend, with Thomas Waldrom getting the crucial try. The round’s Aviva Premiership Rugby action begins on BT Sport on Friday as Harlequins welcome Bath Rugby to the Twickenham Stoop off the back of four straight defeats. Friday’s coverage in south west London starts at 7pm on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport 4K UHD, with fifth-placed Bath hoping to move back into a semi-final position. Finally, Leicester Tigers, fresh from their first Aviva Premiership Rugby win at Allianz Park, head to Worcester Warriors for the final live broadcast fixture of the weekend on Sunday. The cameras at Sixways go live at 2.30pm, with kick-off at 3pm, on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport 4K UHD.
