"Saracens will travel to face Bath in the round of 16 after being beaten 28-3 by Glasgow in their final pool match at Scotstoun. Most of the points came in the first half, with the Warriors scoring three converted tries through Ollie Smith, Kyle Steyn and George Horne while Saracens replied with an Owen Farrell penalty. Seb Stephen then rumbled over in the closing seconds of the match to secure a fourth successive bonus-point pool-stage victory for Glasgow."
"Glasgow forged in front with the first meaningful attack of the match as Alex Craig carried them deep into Saracens territory with a lung-bursting run down the middle. Following a few phases of forward play the Glasgow backs then worked it through the hands for Smith to dot down. Saracens, though, struck back quickly after Glasgow were pinged for going offside and Farrell made a straightforward kick."
Glasgow beat Saracens 28-3 at Scotstoun, scoring the bulk of points in the first half. The Warriors crossed for three converted tries from Ollie Smith, Kyle Steyn and George Horne, with Seb Stephen adding a late try to secure a fourth successive bonus-point pool-stage win. Saracens’ sole score was an Owen Farrell penalty. Alex Craig’s lung-bursting carry and forward phases created the opening for Smith’s score. Horne created and scored tries, including a finish set up by Jack Dempsey’s rampaging carry. Juan Martin Gonzalez received a yellow card for slapping the ball away and tempers flared in the dead-ball area. Glasgow top Pool 1 and will face the Bulls in the round of 16.
