SARACENS CLIMBED TO third in English rugby union’s Premiership table with a decisive 39-24 win at home to champions Northampton on Sunday.
Fergus Burke scored two tries for Saracens, with Rhys Carre, and the England trio of Theo Dan, Ben Earl and Jamie George also crossing. Burke landed three conversions and a penalty for a 19-point haul. Reigning champions Glasgow Warriors marked a historic day for Scottish rugby and the URC by providing further proof that they are not about to relinquish their league title easily.
Huw Jones scored either side of a Matthew double in a first half that ended 21-0. Further tries arrived for Glasgow in the second half courtesy of Kyle Steyn and Jamie Dobie.Ben Healy warming up ahead of the match.

In the first of two festive derbies, with the teams set to meet again at the UCD Bowl next Saturday, the Clovers were only seven points behind at half-time. However, Neill Alcorn’s Wolfhounds pulled clear to kick off the expanded 10-round competition in impressive fashion.
