"Saracens nine tries were scored by eight different players, with World Cup winner May Campbell crossing twice and her England team-mate Zoe Harrison kicking 12 points of extras. In search of their third successive win, Trailfinders opened the scoring at their home ground but only entered their opponents' 22 once more amid a dominant Saracens' performance. Gloucester Hartpury have played one game less than Saracens, and can regain their league lead when they travel to Bristol Bears on Sunday (12:30 GMT)."
"Francesca McGhie got Trailfinders off the mark inside three minutes but visitors Saracens replied quickly, going level with a score from Sydney Gregson. With relentless attacking play, Saracens turned their trailing start into a 26-point half-time advantage with further tries from Marlie Packer, Alysha Corrigan, Lotte Sharp and Campbell. There was no respite for the hosts as Poppy Cleall put Saracens further ahead after the break, finishing off a driving maul to make it 36-5."
"Campbell scored her second of the game before ex-Trailfinders prop Liz Crake added to her former side's difficulties with Saracens' eighth try. There was time enough for Jess Breach to have her say and the world champion finished a blistering counter-attack in the final minutes to give Saracens a convincing 57-5 win. Exeter Chiefs settled for their second draw of the season away at Sale Sharks' Morson Stadium, where a battling contest ended 26-26."
