• Gloucester v Bath

  Gloucester v Bath. Action from the crucial Premiership clash at Kingsholm, the final fixture of the regular season.

• Gloucester v Leicester Tigers

  Gloucester v Leicester Tigers. Highlights of the Premiership match at Kingsholm, where the Tigers continue their title challenge. The visitors recorded four successive championship victories between 1999 and 2002 and are hoping to regain the prestigious honour of becoming the number one team in England.

• Gloucester v Leicester Tigers

  Highlights of the Tetley's Bitter Cup fifth round clash between Gloucester and the Leicester Tigers at Kingsholm

• Gloucester v London Irish

• Gloucester v London Wasps

  Gloucester v London Wasps. Simon Lazenby introduces another chance to see the Premiership clash at Kingsholm, where the final play-off place will be decided.

Shaun Edwards' men were thrashed at home last week by London Irish, and will need to rediscover their defensive solidity if they are to succeed

• Gloucester v London Wasps

  Gloucester v London Wasps. A chance to see the Premiership encounter at Kingsholm. The hosts are looking to repeat their first-place finish of last season and victory against a lowly Wasps side will put them one step closer, especially if former Bradford Bulls star Lesley Vainikolo is given the space to attack down the wings

• Gloucester v Northampton Saints

  Gloucester v Northampton Saints. A chance to see the Premiership at Kingsholm, featuring a clash between the teams that finished sixth and 11th respectively last season.

• Gloucester v Sale Sharks

  Gloucester v Sale Sharks. Simon Lazenby presents another chance to see the Premiership fixture at Kingsholm between two sides still in with a chance of a top three finish. Bath and Wasps look likely to finish in the top two positions but third place is wide open and the defending champions will want to make the most of home advantage. The Sharks need to return to their early season form if they are to halt a slide that has seen them slip into mid-table, despite the return of Jason Robinson and Charlie Hodgson. Commentary by Miles Harrison and Stuart Barnes

• Gloucester v Saracens

  Gloucester v Saracens. A chance to see the Premiership fixture at Kingsholm, where the hosts will fancy their chances after an excellent start to the campaign.

• Gloucester v Saracens

  Gloucester v Saracens. Another chance to see the Premiership fixture at Kingsholm, where victory for the hosts would boost their chances of finishing top. Both sides are initially aiming for a place in the end-of-season play-offs, with the likes of Bath, Leicester Tigers and Harlequins also in the hunt, and Sarries know that pulling off an unlikely win here would do them the world of good

  Golden Lions v Free State Cheetahs. Action from the Currie Cup Premier Division clash at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. This fixture is a repeat of last season's final when Free State lifted the trophy after a 20-18 victory, helped in no small part by tries from Phillip Burger and Mattheus de Bruyn

  Griquas v Lions. The Currie Cup Premier Division match at ABSA Park in Kimberley. The hosts started the campaign in unpredictable fashion losing heavily to the Free State Cheetahs before an inspired second-half display saw them overcome an 18-point deficit to beat the Atlantic Pumas 60-26, and they stand a good chance of beating the Lions in front of their home crowd this afternoon, if they find their form early in the match

• Griquas v Western Province

  Griquas v Western Province. Action from the first of a double bill of Currie Cup matches, featuring the clash at ABSA Park in Kimberley. Both sides missed out on the play-offs last season and the visitors will be looking to repeat last year's victory over the Griquas

  Harlequins v Gloucester. Highlights of yesterday's Premiership match at the Stoop, as the visitors look to repeat their victory from earlier in the season.

Presented by Andrew Cotter, with commentary by Nick Mullins

• Harlequins v Gloucester and Super 14

  Harlequins v Gloucester. Highlights of the Premiership match at The Stoop, where the visitors are hoping to give their championship aspirations another huge boost.

Plus, The Highlanders v The Waratahs and The Brumbies v The Reds in the Super 14 competition

• Harlequins v Leeds Carnegie

  Harlequins v Leeds Carnegie. The Premiership fixture at the Stoop, as last year's National Division One champions face their first away game of the season.

• Harlequins v Leicester Tigers

  Harlequins v Leicester Tigers. Simon Lazenby introduces action from the Premiership fixture at The Stoop, as both sides look to close the gap on the leaders.
