Halftime 20-3 to Saracens. A somewhat unlucky scoreline so far for the visitors as their penalty count has been high as it is their preseason while Sarries are in the full swing of things in the Aviva Premiership and Heineken cup. Sharks seemed to had done very well with town men in the bin until Hodgson scored an intercept try as the final play of the first half. Full credit to Sarries as they have taken their chances with precision. Expect a response from the South African men as Jake White may have some words to say at the break.
