Report: Saracens Storm 50-14 Bristol Bears 'A'
Sunday, December 30th 2018
Bristol Bears ‘A’ fell to a 50-14 defeat at the hands of Saracens Storm in the Premiership Shield on Sunday.
Tusi Pisi and Sam Bedlow both crossed in the first-half, but were cancelled out by Rotimi Segun and Dominic Morris, with a Max Malins penalty giving the hosts a 17-14 lead at the break.
But Saracens pulled away in the second-half, with Malins, Segun, Reffell and a late double from replacement hooker, Joe Gray sealing a commanding win.
What happened?
Regun opened the scoring for Saracens on 10 minutes after neat work from Gallagher and Vailanu in the build-up.
Bristol hit back when Pisi capitalised on Tovey’s break to step his way to the line.
Bedlow glided through a gap in the Saracens defence for Bristol’s second eight minutes later, before Morris crashed over from close range to level the scores.
Malins added a penalty to edge Saracens in front on the stroke of half-time, and the fly-half sprinted in from 35 metres early in the second half to extend the home side’s lead.
Segun scored his second shortly after, before Reffell’s interception made it 36-14 on the hour mark.
Replacement Joe Gray’s late brace took Saracens to 50 points, to complete a commanding second-half display.
