Marauding front row show the way in Saracens rout of Northampton

Saracens blew Northampton away at a sweltering Twickenham with their dominance highlighted by the handling skills of their front row trio.

81'		55-24 End of second half
80'		The throw is messy and as the ball bobbles out of play, the whistle blows to bring an end to the game. Saracens were simply irresistible in the first half, with the offloading cutting huge holes in the Northampton defence. They understandably took their foot off the gas in the second half but take nothing away from an incredible opening performance. To think, Owen Farrell, Jamie George, the Vunipolas, Liam Williams et al are all still to come back...
80'		Saints have a lineout with time running out. They take it cleanly, but are unable to get much luck out of their drive before the backs are trusted with the ball. Mallinder puts boot to ball with a penalty coming, and we're going to have another lineout.
