The 20-year-old fly-half, who was plunged straight into the starting line-up as he returned six weeks ahead of schedule from his ankle injury, was withdrawn after 51 minutes.

In that time he overcame a shaky start in which Bath capitalised on his failure to collect a high kick to score their opening try.

Cipriani, who was playing against the same opponents and on the same ground where he sustained his injury, landed three penalties and converted Riki Flutey's first-half try as Wasps overcame an early 12-point deficit to lead 16-12 at half-time.

Dan Hipkiss was Leicester's match winner with a try that broke Northampton hearts in the 29-19 result match at Welford Road.

England international Hipkiss had missed the previous two games through injury - but he struck a crucial late blow in a hard fought east Midlands derby when he crossed with just eight minutes left.

Glen Jackson put the boot into bottom club Bristol as Saracens comfortably completed a third successive victory with a 23-16 triumph on Wednesday night.

The prolific points-scorer kicked five penalties and a drop-goal to leave Bristol still without a Premiership win since March.

Sale's 100% record in the Guinness Premiership this season came to a shuddering halt against last season's bogey team London Irish following their 28-6 loss at the Madejski Stadium.

Irish did the double over the Sharks last season and dashed their hopes of a play-off place on the final day in May, and again they upset high-flying Sale.
