Full time in Parma and its the the visitors who take the win. 6 trys ensured both victory and bonus point for the London side as they raced away to a convincing victory. Sarries will be pleased that they managed to dominate every facet of the game. In particular their scrum was outstanding this afternoon. As for Zebre, well its another loss for them to contemplate unfortunately as they make the return trip to Allianz Park next week. Until next time!
TRY ZEBRE. Eventually the home side find something! The big Fijian number 8, Newa Vunisa races away after the sarries defence appear to fall asleep. 10-39
Zebre attempting anything at this stage in an effort to make the score board more respectable. Some wild chip and chases
TRY SARACENS. A 5th try for the visitors, Alex Goode instrument in this attacking display once again. The Full back exploits another gap in the Zebre defence and makes good ground before offloading to Ashton on his inside shoulder. A trade mark line from the powerful winger. Farrell adds the extras. 3-39
TRY SARACENS. The try finally arrives for London side and the referee does not need to go to the TMO on this occasion. Hodgson spreads the ball left, allowing Bosch to attack the gain line at pace. The substitute centre makes a half break before offloading to Ashton who was tracking his inside shoulder. A deightful spell of rugby. That's the bonus point wrapped up now. Job done for the Sarries. 2-32
60 minutes gone and Sarries are still in search of that bonus point try. The visitors playing all the rugby
Disallowed try for David Strettle there. A beautiful back line move saw Hodgson pop off the Strettle coming in off the blind wing who cruised over for what appeared to be a clear try. On review the TMO deemed there to be obstruction from Taylor. A poor poor decision in my opinion.
Sarries bonus point try feel imminent! Inside the 22...put in to the scrum
Another dominant scrum from Saracens earns them a penalty and they kick their way back into the Zebre half. LO half way between the 10m and the 22
Quite a scrappy start from Sarries. Havn't settled since returning to the field
