• Seven tries help make ground on Wasps and Bath
Saracens made more ground on the two groggy giants above them in the table, Leicester and Wasps, but the emphatic seven-try victory against the club that started the day second in the Premiership revealed a potential problem as the champions battle to move off the foot of the table in the coming months.
For all the 14 players in their 23 who appeared in this year’s World Cup, including nine who wore England’s colours, it was three who watched that tournament on television who stood out here: the centre Nick Tompkins, who scored a hat-trick of tries, the full-back, Max Malins, and the flanker Ben Earl.
