A lot of the build-up for this match from the press and supporters alike were about how far this team had come but more importantly, that if Sarries wanted to win this Le H Cup then they had to go to France and win away. Toulouse, get ready for the Sarries faithful...
Barnet Sarrie thought the thread on the future of European rugby was getting too long.So she's been given her own one!...
I certainly wasn’t going to miss the easiest match to get to this season for me, even if it is away. Despite the wind and rain, I was parked up in a side-street (no charge) less than 5 minute walk from the stadium, in 70 minutes. I went for the main stand this time and although I was on the 22 almost all the action in the match took place in front of me....
Worcester Warriors 8 v 26 SaracensSixways has never been a particularly happy hunting ground for Saracens in the Premiership, although with their hosts rock bottom, it was perhaps of little surprise that they managed to halt that run of losses with a bonus point win....
After two weeks of feasting greedily on fillets of zebra, Sarries returned to the bread and butter of the Aviva Premiership yesterday. They were to welcome a large contingent of Leicester Tigers’ typically passionate and knowledgeable supporters to Allianz Park for the first time. With atrocious weather throughout the day, it was natural that conversation tended towards thoughts of...
Nobody arrived at AzP this afternoon expecting anything other than a Sarries win. The only doubts were the time it would take to gain the bonus point and the final try tally. Zebre have rattled a couple of cages in the RaboDirect Pro12, but in truth they are not a side to trouble an in-form side sitting at the top of the Aviva Premiership. ...

For those viewing the game from the comfort of their living room, local hostelry or Allianz Park, I suspect this looked like a lovely sunny day in Northern Italy; well, the sun may have been shining but the temperature was barely above freezing. There was a reasonable Sarries following who had gathered in small numbers at Birreria Vecchie Maniere (highly recommended for beer lovers) on Friday...
Saracens have struggled at Sandy Park in recent times, as do most teams, and today was no different with only some heroic defence for the last fifteen minutes and a try by Tom Johnson ruled out by the TMO bringing Sarries the win this week. ...
Saracens v Scarlets LV Cup 17.11.13Ahh the LV Cup. You have to love it! Well at least this year you do because whether or not this was planned, at the half way stage Sarries sit top of their league with maximum points. So it looks like a bit of silverware could be there for the taking and that’s not to be sniffed at! ...
Saracens are incapable of doing things the easy way, it seems. A cold, wet Adams Park was the venue for the first round of the LV=Cup campaign for Saracens as they took on London Wasps. Two strong teams announced promised much, and was rewarded by an enthralling encounter which went right to the wire. ...
Rugby on a Friday evening in London for a second time in as many months; I could get used to this. Only 30 minutes by train from Marlebone and a shuttle bus took the same time from the station to the Industrial Estate. Ticket purchased on the gate to the terrace I arrive as the minutes silence finished. Sarries have a pretty strong side but so do Wasps, with Haskell and old Sarrie Jacobs...
It started with a few tentative moments, settled into a phase of developing tempo and ended with a crescendo that had everyone inAllianzParkbreathless. But that was the fireworks display, which had several thousand supporters, the Sarries players and backroom staff on the pitch immediately after the game, to the bemusement of the surrounded Falcons players, who were involved in that aspect of...
This wasn’t a game I travelled to with great expectation, a matter reinforced by the non arrival of Ken’s lunch an hour and half after he’d ordered it. You can only imagine how ‘frustrated’ he was! ...
I set off early (half-day) to drive to the Green man. Unfortunately the Friday night traffic in the area meant I never made it; having to give up and seek another place to park. Sorry about that Martin. However no complaints about the seat in the Club section on the second level, the view was fantastic. As the teams walked out you could see the difference in the sides....
(with apologies to Arthur Colahan). ...
On Saturday afternoon, Allianz Park witnessed a feast of running rugby combined with passion and skill rarely seen. It was a chance to watch two of the most gifted wingers in world rugby ply their trade; they did not disappoint! ...
I hadn’t intended to do the match report this week on the grounds that I was at home puppy sitting (Mr DG having done it for the past 3 weekends) and anyway it was time someone else did it. The plan was to put my feet up on the settee and enjoy the game on the TV. But in the end I couldn’t let it go unmarked could I? So here we have an armchair report:- Wot no bonus point? ...
For a top of the table clash between the 2 remaining unbeaten teams, it was a shame, although perhaps inevitable, that all the pre-match speculation surrounded one Gavin Henson, late of this parish and via Toulon, Cardiff Blues and London Welsh, a man of Bath. Of course Edward Griffiths’ offer to refund Bath supporters ticket money if Gav scored a point fuelled the fire (and was, I thought,...
Twickenham again beckons and this time we were first up. An earlier start from home to make sure I‘m there on time and all was well wandering around at 1pm. In the build up to the game, it did seem that the supporters of other sides outnumbered the Sarries contingent, but at the kick-off there were a good number of black and red shirts concentrated in the one corner. ...
