Saracens return to the Premiership with a mouth watering clash away to the Bristol Bears in the opening round. The Bristol Bears topped the Premiership standings last season, but went down 43-36 to the eventual champions Harlequins in the semi-finals. Saracens were crowned champions of the Championship to make their return to the Premiership after their relegation due to salary cap breaches. I'm Craig and will be taking you through the action with live updates and running commentary.
