• Saracens 25-12 Gloucester
If their 60-point hiding here by Wasps last week was remarkable,here was a response from Saracens nearly as notable for its ruthlessness. The scoreline will not raise any eyebrows but Saracens prevailed against an abject Gloucester, despite the loss of Schalk Brits to a red card after only half an hour for a punch on Nick Wood. And that just as Brad Barritt returned from a yellow. Saracens played three-quarters of this match a man short. You would never occupy known.
Not that it was a good game or anything. Gloucester played as if the mini-speed of two wins they were on were no more than a flash in the pan. They owed their 12 points to three nothing penalties in nothing parts of the field and one for the punch on Wood. They barely entered the Saracens 22 all match. By the discontinuance, and their capitulation was painful to behold. Related: Rugby,booze and middle-aged men – the wobbling front row of the Six Nations | Robert Kitson Continue reading...
