The As didn't turn up for the first 20 minutes, but then they had the most of the play for the next 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the quality of the Saracens boys means they know how to defend, and then turn it over, and then score. Just about every time.

A fairer score at half-time would have been 26-14, but as we all know, rugby is not fair.

So, the first 40 minutes saw 40 points scored. No reason why the second half shouldn't produce the same. So I predict a final score of Saracens 33-47 Ampthill.

And just two minutes into the 2nd half and Farrell crosskicks to the left winger to catch and score. 40-7

Unfortunately 73-7 is likely to be nearer the mark. |

Ampthill continue to do their best. Their tackling is ferocious. But the Saracens class is always showing through.

Farrell has had enough and gone off to be replaced by someone called Alex Goode

Saracens now 100% confident to run it from anywhere, but Ampthill's tackling remains ferocious.

Spoke far too soon. Ampthill score their second try from a neat chip through.
59-12 |

Ironically I think Ampthill were excellent tonight and really made a star studded Sarries work hard - but just way too much quality!!!

Well done, Ampthill. You did not give up. Your tackling to the end was first class.

Well said, Runitback. Saracens just had far too much quality. No real surprise there though.
