"Saracens kept their hopes of making the Prem play-offs alive with a 19-15 win over Leicester. The sides were level on 12 apiece at half-time after Olly Hartley and Noah Caluori scored excellent tries for the hosts while Freddie Steward and Ollie Hassell-Collins replied for Leicester."
"Eroni Mawi put Saracens ahead early in the second half before young star Caluori - who has now scored 10 tries in his past three Prem games - was sin-binned after an hour. Billy Searle's penalty against 14 men got Tigers within four points, but they could not find a way past Saracens' strong defence."
"The win sees Saracens stay in sixth place - five points off fifth-placed Exeter - who have a game in hand - and one more off fourth-placed Bristol. Tigers remain in third place but missed the chance to potentially cut the gap on the top two."
