We weren't able to make this game as we were in London for a friends birthday party. I did suggest that we could stop at Watford on the way back. But I was out-voted. I suspect that the main reason I was out-voted was because the girls thought we were going to lose this one. Our recent history against the Sarries has not been good, and they were turning out a strong side whilst ours was really a Wanderers team (too many England call ups and too many injuries).
So while we were meandering around the Wellcome Museum I was recounting the score. And couldn't beleive how close it got. In fact it was almost a win. The Saints played the better rugby and had more to show, with three tries, but indiscipline let the Sarries keep in touch. And then it sounds as though they sat back a bit in the second half letting the Saracens back in. Finally in the dying minute TinTin touched down to bring the scores level. Sadly, rather than pass the ball to Joe Ford, TinTin decided to take the conversion himself - after had a poor day with the boot already - and missed.
An opportunity gone begging. But, to be honest, I'll take a draw. Just from now on I'm going to have to cheer on the Sarries as we need them to beat everyone else in our pool.
Scores:
Saints - Tries: Dreyer, Digger, TinTin; Cons: TinTin (2); Pens: TinTin (1)
Saracens - Try: Melck; Cons: Wgglesworth; Pens: Wigglesworth (5)
