Silly

Try machine!! How come he is not in form of England squad!

Fulltime 23-15 to the Saracens. A much more competitive second half saw the hosts resist a muscular fight back from the Sharks. It must be emphasised that its the Sharks first run out as they used this afternoon as a pre-season game. Full credit to Saracens as they started the match sharply and held on in the second half as the Sharks began to find their feet. Mentions for Hodgson as he managed the game well as well as recording 18 points and young inside centre Andre Esterhuizen for the Sharks as he also scored a five-pointer. A great occasion for all involved today as the North hosted the South, hopefully many more of these ventures to come. Thanks for following with Ultimate Rugby and have a great weekend!
