But wow...the Saracens today

Sarries are the team I follow in the Premiership and that is their best game in who knows when...and very nice to see Wyles (US Eagle) get a try....

Congrats! As a Clermont fan that was a tough game to watch this weekend. Saracens looked nothing like the team that lost in Wembley to Toulouse in pool stages and Clermont looked very much like the team that was held try less against Montpelier just last week. I was prepared to blame Nigel Owens cause I don't think that penalty try should have been awarded but it turns out it wouldn't have made a difference anyway cause Saracens were that dominating. The defense never let up the whole game and props to Chris Ashton for becoming the leading try scorer in a season in the H-Cup. Now I guess Clermont can focus on winning the Top 14 before Vern Cotter leaves to be the head man of the Scottish national side.


Toulon vs Munster was a much more competitive match. Toulon got off to an early lead but Munster kept hanging around and about midway through the second half managed to pull within two points before a late try and a Johnny Wilkinson goal but the game away. Now it's off to Cardiff to defend their title against the surging Saracens.
