Sarries Vs Saints

Anyone watching?

Saracens looking immense despite resting Goode and Brits

Hodgson aand Stevens are in the form of their lives, just when England dont need them

Doyle still cannot ref a scrum and seems to want everyone bubblewrapped.

Someone call Richard Cockerill...


That aside though Scoped its a corking game so far donmt you think, both sides look well up for it. Decent pitch and decent weather means they can at leats attempt to play rugby inbetween the bouts of outrageously deliberate penalties.

Saracens looked imperious for the first 15 minutes or so but saints have upped their game and got right back in it. Good stuff.

Oh its a great game and I've loved it don't get me wrong.
Great lines being run and strong forward battles. Just great, really taking advantage of the conditions. Hartley is lucky not to have sat on the naughty step.

Yeah watching the healy half time piece he held back Smit 3 times on the same play that led to a try!
At least hes keeping his fists/elbows/teeth out of it for once. very "professional" and both sides have been at it.


Love the coverage ...introducing Jacques Burger as Adam Jones

Good game, good game.

Scores on the doors looks about right. Sas 11-10 Sts
Sarries looked like they were going to get on top, but Saints right back in it.

All to play for.

I take it all back about Hodgson...just had a Donald 5 minutes!

11-13 as Myler knocks one over.

Hodgson falls short with a reply by two.

It's all gone a bit meh.

Oh dear. Hodgsons boot has gone a bit wayward

This is not the thriller you would hope it would be...!

But it is Independence Day.

And Myler has his boots on. The Long Ranger strikes again!

SA 11 -16 ST

Farrell Jnr looks to respond.

And he does.

14-16.

And Farrell steps up again to regain the lead as Northampton begin to fumble.

17-16 to the Fezmen.

This one heating up nicely now. Frustrating missed chances by both sides.

Sarries get relieving penalty in their 22 with less than 6 minutes on the clock and a one point margin lead. They kick and get an opportunity to attack. Opportunity to close out the match and deny Northampton an LBP.

I honestly think Saint have been massively hard done by re the reffing.

Last chance kick for Myler to win the match. 51 metres out.

Will he get it?

Unbelievable - he hits the crossbar!

Unlucky,

Game over. Sarries snatch it.

tough luck with that last kick.
