The traditional curtain-raiser to the new season saw Wasps win the Middlesex Sevens last Saturday at Twickenham.

But while all 12 clubs fielded teams there, they have also started full-scale 'friendly' matches.

Champions Sale, Leicester and promoted Harlequins all headed to France, while others are staying closer to home.
