Premiership announce Festive period schedule

Premiership rugby has today announced that Harlequins' annual trip to Twickenham Stadium will be shown live on BT Sport as the broadcaster confirms a bumper line-up of matches over the Christmas and New Year period.
Harlequins' match with Gloucester Rugby will be staged on Tuesday 27 December (4pm) which means there will be live Aviva Premiership Rugby on four different days over the Christmas weekend.
The live Christmas matches kick off on Friday 23 December with Sale's trip to Franklin's Gardens. That match is followed by Wasps v Bath on Christmas Eve and Bristol hosting Worcester on Boxing Day, before the BT Sport cameras head to Twickenham Stadium.
The bumper offering at Christmas is complimented a few days later with three live matches being shown over the New Year weekend.
Newcastle host Wasps on Friday 30 December with Bath's West Country derby against Exeter taking centre stage on New Year's Eve. The weekend is topped off on New Year's Day when Saracens make the trip to Welford Road to take on Leicester.
