The Saints lacked the spark today as Saracens get deserved win on the road. The second half was littered with handling errors, making the game a real stop start affair. A few injuries in todays will be of worry to both sides. Northampton will be disappointed with their performance, their first defeat at Frankins gardens this season.

Wide play from both teams is forcing the ball too much. Handling errors have charcterized the second half thus far. Into the last quarter now Saracens still lead.

More open running style play in the second half as both defences hold on. Saracens still lead by a try scored in the first half by Goode. Game looks like it will go down the wire.

After an exciting first half Sarries lead by 7. Northampton have been hampered with injuries in the first half and are puffing a bit harder than their counterparts. It'll be an uphill struggle for the Saints at Franklins gardens in the second half as they look to overcome the one try deficit. Saints 3, Saracens 10.

Fantastic end to end rugby being played by both teams in the first half so far. Perfect conditions for wide running rugby.

Saints finally settle into game after rocky start. Score now 3-3.

Come on Sarries

Saracens rewarded for early pressure. Farrel with the long range effort. Sarries lead by 3.

Big game from Saints today. Gotta smash that south african *cough cough* i mean sarries pack!
