In common with most of my fellow Saracens fans I waited with baited breath for the team announcement for this second Champions Cup match. That will be a weekly occurrence for the rest of the season with the predicament the club finds itself in. A 35 point deduction means the club will be fighting to … More Saracens v Ospreys – The Champions Cup – The Saracens predicament
I spent 8 days in Paris at the end of October, with a weekend trip to Rheims included, my daughter, Alex has lived in the city for nearly 7 years so it’s a place I like to visit as often as I can. By some strange coincidence there’s often a rugby match to go to … More Racing v Saracens – The Champions Cup Round 1
Over the weekend in Paris, I discussed some ideas that my good friend Steve had put briefly on a Facebook page, to me they made absolute sense so I asked him to get them down in writing for me – they’re worth a read! A little about Steve as a starter – I started watching … More A £5.3m Problem
It’s been a torrid few weeks to be an England and Saracens fan, a time that started with such hope saw a crowd of us rock up at Allianz Park at 8am on a Saturday morning to watch England win the World Cup. That didn’t quite go to plan as South Africa pretty much did … More The Joys of Being a Saracens Fan, Toxic Media and Thinking before you Type
With the Premiership proper a week away and little or no pre-season for most teams, both of these teams saw an injection of experience. There were players on both sides who might be considered unlucky not to be in Japan. For some that time will surely come, with Harlequins’ Marcus Smith at 20 who has … More Saracens v Harlequins – The Premiership Rugby Cup
The World Cup this year means we’ve had a strange start to the season, with the Premiership Rugby Cup kick starting things. Saracens got off to a flyer at the Ricoh Arena, with the final score being Wasps 28 Saracens 50. I missed that one as I was at Edgbaston watching my County, Essex winning … More Northampton Saints v Saracens – What a difference a week makes.
It’s been a funny Premiership season, with the top 2 pretty much cemented early on. The relegation spot wasn’t confirmed until virtually the end of the season, with Newcastle being the team to go down. Gloucester had come through as strong contenders for 3rd place, beating Saracens at Kingsholm during the 6 Nations window, they … More Saracens v Gloucester – The Premiership Semi-Final
It’s been a funny season so far as a Saracens fan, I haven’t wanted to write about many games when I’ve got home. The Champions Cup semi-final was a huge exception and this match is another! With both teams secure in 1st and 2nd place and a Champions Cup Final ahead for Saracens next week … More Saracens v Exeter Chiefs
A week can bring big changes, last week we seemed to be in Spring at Allianz Park, this weekend we appeared to be back in Winter! That might be down to the cricket season starting, or just the vagaries of good old English weather. Last week Saracens played Glasgow Warriors in the Quarter Final of … More Saracens – What a difference a week makes!
Watching Saracens during the 6 Nations has been interesting in recent years. With only one 6 Nations game in my diary this year I’ve been to more club games than I usually make during this spell. The results during this time have been – 8th Feb – Worcester 22 Saracens 38 16th Feb – Saracens … More Six Nations Saracens
