Saints win a penalty and knock it out for a lineout on the Sarries 22. They shape for a catch and drive but Sarries do well to wrap the ball up and force the turnover.
Sarries work a preplanned pattern to perfection. Sarries win their set piece and work the ball around the corner. Saints fold around in anticipation of another hit up. But instead Farrell reverts to the blind side and grubbers in behind for Strettle to gather and touch down in the corner.
Botha wins a lineout but Sarries can't make the most of the attacking opportunity as Bosch looses the ball in contact.
