- Saracens 56-15 Wasps
- Billy Vunipola among the other try scorers for home side
They say the Premiership has never been so competitive but no one has told Saracens. For the second consecutive Sunday they devoured their opposition to the point where there was precious little left on the plate, the hunger of their omitted England contingent unmistakeable.
Eighteen tries in two games reflects their bullish collective mood. In fairness to a bruised, battered Wasps side it was never likely to be a comfortable afternoon with at least 20 players either rested, unavailable or injured. To compound their woes they also lost four players to injury in the first 35 minutes and, in the circumstances, conceding “only” eight tries was almost par for the uneven course. As was the case in Bath a week ago, it made for wincingly one‑sided viewing at times.
