• Saracens 29-10 Lyon
• Maro Itoje opens scoring as Saracens make it two wins from two
This is no time to be sniffy if you are an Englishman in Europe, so two wins from two for Saracens, English flag-bearers, is on balance an achievement to celebrate. But the faithful of north London remained largely in their seats throughout this mundane exercise in result collection.
No one thought for a moment that Saracens would not win; nor did they have to do a whole lot for victory. Alex Lewington’s try with three minutes remaining brought the garnish of a bonus point – and was by some distance the most pleasing element.
