Spencer sends that right between the uprights!
Another penalty against the Falcons and that's their fourth penalty offence in a s many minutes. The referee is having a stern word with Newcastle captain Chris York as Ben Spencer lines up the kick at goal.

@RuggerBugger. Oh yes looks set to be a tasty one alright!
Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of today's LV Cup clash between Saracens and The Newcastle Falcons live from The Allianz Park. The Saracens camp will be on a high after beating the Natal Sharks in a friendly game yesterday in Allianz park so they'll look to carry through some momentum from that game, however it is a very different and rather young and inexperienced team fielded today by Mark McCall. Saracens currently lie top of their group with 10 points from the 2 matches played thus far so they will look to the more experienced players such as James Johnston, Ben Spencer and captain NIls Mordt to lead from the front. Today also sees Hayden Smith get his first start back in a Sarries jersey after his stint in the NFL. On the other hand The Newcastle Falcons lie bottom of their group with only 4 points in the bag thus far so they will be looking to use their greater experience amongst their side to full advantage today. Former Ireland U20s hooker George McGuigan regains his place at hooker after his man of the match performance last week and along with captain Chris york at 8 these two boys will be looking to give Newcastle some crucial go forward ball in order to give speedsters Tom Catterick and Zach Kibirige as much ball in hand as possible. This looks set to be a great match so stay with us for live coverage of the game!!
Well, I'd have to say that this was marked out on my calendar since day uno ! My goodness were in for a treat this afternoon.
