Try Chris Ashton, Sarries
TMO to check last pass
Close call… whether the pass was forward, if so squandered chance
Try awarded
Saracens 18 / 10 Tigers
Halftime
2nd Half ON!
Saracens penalty, holding on.
Sarries playing against the wind this half, is the 8-point lead enough?
Ben Youngs kicks directly into touch, lineout way back
Another Sarries penalty, in their own half
Try Billy Vunipola, Sarries
Saracens 25 / 10 Tigers
Sarries forwards dominating against 7 on the other side
Saracens get another penalty as they maul it up and Tigers go in on the side of the maul
Tigers man down, prone…
Hello looks like Saracens have built a good lead already, and you have been treated to 4 tries so far, not too shabby for ‘northern hemisphere’ rugby
Sarries get a dubious penalty for a supposed no arms tackle.
Saracens 28 / 10 Tigers
43 @ Bullscot:
Good rugby on a good artificial surface… much better than the international surfaces up north
Tigers relieving penalty, they really are under the kosh of the Sarries forwards here
Neil de Kock on for Wigglesworth, for Sarries
Scrum penalty to the Tigers… kick to touch even though it was kickable
Saracens get a relieving penalty
What a kak penalty, though… fokkie toggie
Cynical play by Leicester but they get away with it,
Hands in the ruck by Sarries, Tigers penalty on the 10m line, kicked to touch again
Another Tigers penalty, punted into the corner
Chipped into the very narrow goal area, easily goes dead, and the Tigers get another penalty.
Team warning to Sarries
What broadcast do you get GBS? One I got this side just had interview with Matt Stevens while the play was still going on
Good Sarries defence, they get the turnover scrum
Wasps 15/14 Saints close one there still, see Bath won their game
55 @ Bullscot:
Must be a different one this side then…
