- Saracens 48-20 Ealing
- Owen Farrell kicks 23 points to boost promotion hopes
A final two-leg shootout still awaits but the chances of Saracens not being promoted from the Championship in June look slimmer, on this evidence, than their football neighbours Barnet joining a new European Super League. There was only ever one winner, with the previously unbeaten Ealing Trailfinders given a five-try reminder of the old adage about class being permanent.
The visitors may have won all their previous six games with a bonus point but, despite two pre-season wins against the erstwhile European champions, this was a significantly stronger and more motivated Sarries combination, with Owen Farrell kicking 23 points and Elliot Daly looking in excellent nick back in his preferred position of outside centre.
