Play off place goes to the side who finishes 7th (you finished 8th) but if an English side wins the the Challenge Cup and haven't already qualified they get the spot hence Sarries in this.

I've heard they've approached Driver as Matt is getting the boot!

Saracens 32-22 Connacht
Sarries have gone full strength here and are just to much for the Galway men.

Sarries 30-18 Connacht
Sarries have too much up front and will bully Connacht. Good ball sees the sarries centres run rings and get a big win.

Saracens 32 - 19 Connacht

Could be a good battle at 13 between Henshaw and Fekitoa, but Saracens are dominant all over the rest of the park, and can't see anything other than a nice easy win for them. Far too strong in the pack and the backs have a real cutting edge

Saracens 34 - 23 Connacht

Saracens will strangle the life out of Connacht up front and make the game relatively easily. Connacht will fight back later on in the game with the likes of Marmion and Henshaw coming to the fore.

Saracens 29 - 15 Connacht

Saracens a lot better rugby team. Only Really at 13 where Connacht possibly have the stronger individual. Saracens comfortable.

Sarries 33 - 10 Connacht
At home, easy win - get halfbacks to play at a high tempo and could easily have been another 15-20 points on the scoreboard.
