I’m writing this one after the fact having been to the StoneX to watch Saracens Women win; I do wish the 2 bodies could liaise and ensure the 2 teams from the same club aren’t playing at the same time! I hadn’t realised the game was on ITV so TNT commentary it will have to … More Bristol Bears v Saracens
The return of the Women’s Premiership saw the return on the international players to the competition. It didn’t see the introduction of common sense sadly as certainly the 2 Saracens games for the weekend clashed. The weather was more suited to cricket than 80 minutes of rugby union. There was some early pressure from Sale … More Saracens Women v Sale Sharks
I arrived a little late for this one, but happily arrived in time to see Zoe Harrison score after Poppy Cleall had picked the ball up from the back of the scrum. Tigers showed their passing skills from the kick off and were then awarded a penalty deep in Saracens half. Tigers went into a … More Saracens Women v Leicester Tigers
These 2 teams faced each other on October 14th when the scoreline made unpleasant viewing for Saracens fans. Exeter scoring 65 to Saracens 10. This was as the World Cup was the n full flow, they meet each other as the England squad have jetted off to Spain. Saracens therefore watched 5 players depart and … More Saracens v Exeter Chiefs
Saracens found themselves in the last chance saloon in this competition after succumbing to a record defeat in Bordeaux. A win by Connacht against Bristol meant the task was a less onerous one, with a bonus point of any description with a less than 20 point gap. Whether this team could bounce back was open … More Saracens v Lyon – The Champions Cup
Saracens and many of their fans headed to Bordeaux for their first Champions Cup match of 2024, they went on the back of a loss to Leicester Tigers. Owen Farrell kicked off and Bordeaux cleared into Saracens half. A pass from Farrell missed everyone which gave the home team a chance to attack, Ivan van Zyl touched … More Bordeaux Begles v Saracens
Having lost in South Africa, this was a match Saracens really needed to win. The match started with an uncharacteristic Theo McFarland error as he knocked the ball on from the kick off. So, an early scrum! The Connacht 9 delayed the put in and Saracens were awarded a free kick to get the ball … More Saracens v Connacht Rugby
Having enjoyed my first visit to Kingston Park in 2022 I was keen to repeat the experience. I’d booked the posh hospitality previously, but bought a ticket for £30 in the West Stand for this one. I then got a call from the team at Falcons to offer street food hospitality for £24, it was … More Newcastle Falcons v Saracens
What does the future hold for Women’s Rugby? … More Women’s Rugby in England
A trip to Scotland that coincided with Saracens playing at Kingston Park meant it was rude not to make my first visit to the home of the Newcastle Falcons. I treated myself to hospitality, great value at £90 for a roast dinner with dessert and a great seat! I had lovely company for the duration … More Newcastle Falcons v Saracens
