Metro v Sarries

Well Racing are playing some lovely stuff...Fernandez running the show.

Will Fraser just gone to the bin for ten...he has impressed me though with his breakdown and scavenging plays...

Sarries defence is poor today mind

What an odd game, Racing score a try and give away three points straight away almost every time!

I wasn't impressed with the way Ashton shat it under the high ball for the Racing second try.

Metro have someone binned now for a shoulder on Farrell.

This is a very strange game.

Its a very strange game.

Farrels kicking is excellent...and actually he is showing a nice range of passes i didnt think he had but still they dont look like scoring a try.

Right about Ashton...he totally bottled that one...but he always does bottle high kicks...

Saracens should only be a score behind now, how's that happened?

Set themselves up for the second half!

To right mate...Racing should be out of sight...

score please

25 - 18 to Metro

Farrell looks pedestrian moving the ball left to right,all very predictable if it wasn't for Monsieur Rollands petulant attitude to the breakdown Sarries wouldn't even be with in 15 points.

I cant believe that Sarries are being beaten here. Not what i wanted to see.

That was a woeful tackle attempt from Botha....

It's ridiculous that Sarries are this close despite the try ratio.
I'd say penalties should be put down to 2 points then people would just infringe more.

Not at all, It shows that Metro have been giving away penalties.

Use yellow cards more?

Or use more free kicks but make them 10 m nearer the line?

Should be level! What a come back!

Nice try from Sarries

try by Sarries and converted. Score is 25 - 25

Racing are looking shell shocked, I reckon Sarries could get amongst them here.

28-25 to Sarries after a pen kick by Farrell

Sarries penalty converted...leading now. Sarries Showed great mental strength.

Their scrum dominating now

This is unreal. How have Metro managed to let this happen?

First half was a great advert for Argentinian rugby and now it's just being undone.

pathetic decision

Ashton binned for a girly slap...hes always in it isnt he

it still should of been a penalty to Sarries.

Ashton continues his constant spiral of mediocrity.
Needs to focus on playing rugby rather than lashing out, though it wasn't a punch.

Nob.

The commentator on sky really are a bit one eyed are they not?

This is a real fascinating contest. Just can't call it.

Yup...punch? Hardly...he took him out without the ball

Great come back from Sarries so far. Good game.

Farrel and Barritt are both looking decent, good news for england

Hence yellow not red a real punch should have been red

wow 3 points up and they turn down a kickable penalty

I know Farrell isn't everyone's cup of tea, but he's having a really good game here and could steer Saracens to a very impressive away win!

Whilst not a fan, you can't deny that.
Though if I was an England supporter I still wouldn't want to see him starting.

Barritt and Farrell looking sharp, Strettle\s injury looks bad for 6N, but I don't rate him so hopefully Varndell will slip in now.

Ashton, just, why is he still getting picked?

Oh jesus Hernandez

Oh Hernandez you fool of a Took...

Though this commentator's being a dick about it.

Fitting finish there by Farrell. Well played Sarries great win.

Big game player. As much as I hate to say it he has to start for England

Peter i think your right...he seems to be learning to win games...and controlled it very well...

What a dull game, a team winning on "technicalities" all down to the refs interpretation,Union is becoming a joke.
Can't say im to surprised it's hardly the first game Rolland has ruined.

Well done Sarries on being more favorable in the refs eye, i wont say well done for the win because it was hardly deserved.

Anyway to the next match ,lets watch my once great team get spanked by some ladyboys from Dublin.

His temperament is certainly one of his big assets PSW, he very rarely seems fazed by anything. 32 points from him away in France is a serious performance.

Greenwood nailed it.

No one will want to play Sarries. Not everyone's cup of tea but they are good at winning.

Only got home from the Stoop to catch the last 20, but Farrell was looking on fire. Good news leading into the 6N!

Great fortitude by Saracens to win there. They aren't a team I particularly enjoy, but you've got to respect their organisation and belief as a team. They don't produce the sparkling sort of rugby that you might hope triumphs in Europe, but they've got core components that can see them through.
