Saracens edge their Gloucester rivals in a tight Kingsholm encounter. After a gripping first half, featuring a single try from Ellery, Sarries entered the break 5 points ahead. Play and discipline deteriorated somewhat in the second, with Gloucester stealing the lead on the turn of the 60th minute. The lead would exchange hands twice more before Farrell would eventually secure the game's final points and earn his side the win. Saracens depart rightful victors and in a promising shape early in the season.
