Great result and I'm sure we'll have the better of whoever turns up at the Stoop next weekend. Morale must be lifted by this, so I hope we take it forward into the end of the season, as we have done in the past

Sanderson remains something you can't polish.......
I thought he spoke well on this occasion. Certainly didn't seem testy, even when the interviewer tried to goad him with the "they've put out a much more experienced side..."

Can't stand Sanderson,detest the man! There's no way he could say anything yesterday anyway,look at the group stage 23s and there's not much in it and they won that one 29-20!

My wife and I were at Sarries and the most pleasing aspect ( apart from us at last seeing Tigers win at Allianz Park) was the sensational defence after Sarries put on their bigger guns and we brought on the Cubs. Kitchener proved how you can defend line outs 5 metres out, compete fairly and tap the ball back to us! I was worried when he went off but then we managed to defend another 5 metre line out when our young forwards negated their drive. Must say Bateman was superb as was (by the look of it ) Anthony Allen's stern words under the posts after their second try. A happy night.
