Saracens 38 - 21 Leicester
Playing at Bedford Blues' Goldington Road, Sarries raced into a 30-0 lead thanks to tries from hooker Jamie George, centre Duncan Taylor and winger Joe Maddock.
Tigers rallied in the second half however and tries from Joe Cain and debutant number eight Michael Noone cut the deficit.
But Sarries openside Andy Saull's try in the 64th minute meant that Harry Thacker last minute try was no mere consolation.
Ospreys 33 - 27 Gloucester
Number eight Morgan Allen's last-gasp try saw a young Ospreys side prevail over Gloucester in a dramatic encounter at the Liberty Stadium.
The hosts had led 26-13 with eight minutes to go but a Dan Murphy score and a penalty try put the English team ahead with time running out.

Very interesting refereeing in the Ospreys game. Penalty for not binding in the scrum, when both props were. Then a warning to both sides about the next infringement resulting in a yellow card, but then only using that against the Ospreys. Gloucester had to commit 5 more penalties before it was shown, for an offence that should have resulted in a yellow card anway. Pathetic refereeing!
