Saracens are on a short turnaround after a very physical game against Ampthill (Farrell looked like walking wounded with his head bandaged). I wonder if this one won't be surprisingly close.

Wishful thinking I reckon. I think Ealing-Donny will be a lot closer.

Well, at a sunny and sold out Butt's Park Arena the (limited) crowd is beginning to arrive for today's 5pm kickoff. All looking very good and organized.

Sarries were hanging on at the end.
73-0 was too close for comfort.

I look at today's score and think to myself that last Monday night's score was not too bad at all. Coventry must have been on a roll after last week but to no avail. I could only listen to the commentary on the radio but the pattern was the same. Coventry make a mistake. Saracens score. It seems almost daft to bother with the playoffs.

Of course Ealing deserve their chance, but Saracens in their current form are head and shoulders above the rest, as they should be. You left Coventry off your list of good Championship sides. They are right uo there with the others you mention. But look at today's result. I was joking about scrapping the play offs but I do think it is one almighty obvious outcome.

So Sarries are 5pts behind Ealing, with pts difference of +343, while Ealing’s is +344. So Saracens could win 20-18 v Hartpury, as long as they score 4 tries, & top the table; not that there’s a huge advantage to coming 1st as opposed to 2nd...

I really didn't think that they were going to catch Ealing, but 73-0 score lines will make up a lot of ground quickly. I hope and suspect that first leg of the playoffs will be at Vallis Way regardless. I read on the Saracen's facebook page that the Saracens big guns spent a lot of time with the fans. I will admit that the way that Saracens have treated the Championship clubs has been quite respectful so far. My perception of them has certainly increased (from a low baseline).
