Another Toulouse penalty, this one 5m out… tap and go
4 Minutes already into overtime in the 1st half
Sarries penalty
Halftime
2nd Half ON!
Sarries try again?
TMO
Could be held up
Try is awarded… but to whom?
Farrell or Wyles?
We’ll give it to Farrell!
Saracens 32 / 0 Toulouse
Toulouse scrum penalty… on halfway
Try Toulouse… and a few handbags
Saracens 32 / 7 Toulouse
Schalk Brits on for Sarries in the meantime
And now we have proper handbags
Headlock on Rhodes… starting the handbags off… he probably deserved it though
Gael Fickou penalized for the head lock… Sarries kick to the corner
Neill de Kock on as scrummie sub
Sarries penalty right in front… don’t think they will kick to posts, they still need the 4th try for a bonus point
Sarries opt to scrum, 5m out, just left of the lefthand post… options both ways
Massive Toulouse scrum, they get the relieving penalty
10 Minutes to go
Sarries still do not have their bonus point try… can Toulouse keep them away from it… looks like it.
4 Minutes to go
Sarries scrum, deep in their own half.
Game very scrappy now… 2nd half has been a bore.
Seconds to go… Sarries with a last scrum, on their own 10m line
Final Score: Saracens (27) 32 / 7 (0) Toulouse
Glasgow Warriors returning home Sunday. Gregor Townsend a good man expressing lots of sympathy for the people affected and concern about his team’s supporters:
The Warriors will return home on Sunday after the postponement of their Champions Cup match with Racing 92 following the tragic events in Paris.
Head coach Gregor Townsend has confirmed the club’s players and staff are all safe and well following the attacks in Paris on Friday evening.
Many Glasgow supporters are also in Paris for the game and Gregor revealed they are also safe as far as he is aware.
Gregor told Sky Sports News HQ on Saturday morning: “It was late last night, most of our players were unaware [as] they would have gone to bed early, but the management started to hear the very sad news.
“It was just getting worse and worse, so our thoughts go out to the people of Paris and obviously last night most of our thoughts were on our own supporters. There were a lot that came out – probably between 500 and 1,000 – and the good news is that I don’t think any of them were affected by the really bad scenes that we all saw last night.
“Obviously we are thinking of them, social media is a great tool to find out if the people are safe and it does seem that everybody is ok.
“I am sure there will have been a few staying close to the areas that were affected and it’s sad for them that they have come out to watch a sporting event and have been caught up in something really horrible. But it sounds like they are all ok.
“We had a meeting this morning just to update the players about what has been happening and what might happen in terms of the fixture and following on from that we heard that the game won’t be played.
“There was a chance that it might be played the following day, but all sporting events in Paris have been postponed this weekend so we will be flying home tomorrow.
“We have been informed that the flights are operating as normal and where we are is a little bit away from where most of the activities were.
“The French football team are actually staying right beside us in a hotel just up the road so there was a bit of police presence around last night but it is pretty quiet here and we are just planning to get back home tomorrow and get back to our families.”
