• Sarries prop sent off for high tackle after four minutes
Saracens are never more up than when they are down. It has been a season when adversity has challenged the English and European champions remorselessly and there was a point here, down to 13 men and having surrendered the lead to a side that had won one match all season, when they looked like cracking. It did not last long.
Eight minutes after going behind, they were back in front thanks to the quick-thinking of the scrum-half, Richard Wigglesworth, whose kick exposed a backpedalling defence and led to a try from Alex Lewington. At the moment the Ospreys dared to dream, they were shaken awake and forced to confront reality.
