INTERNATIONAL WATCH | Ten Saracens feature in Six Nations openers
Ten of the Sarries squad were involved across four international games this weekend including an opening round win for England U20s on Thursday Night.
Jack Bracken, Angus Hall and Olamide Sodeke. After an early red card for the English, the men in white powered through to get a 3-19 win at Virgin Media Park as they take their first steps towards defending their Six Nations title.
In the senior competition, Maro Itoje captained England for the first time in Dublin as England fell short to Ireland in their opening Six Nations fixture. Alongside fellow Saracens, Ben Earl, Tom Willis and Theo Dan, Itoje wasn't able to lead his team to victory as they lost to a well drilled Irish outfit. Steve Borthwick's side now return to the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham to face France this weekend.
Elsewhere in the championship both Liam Williams and Nick Tompkins started in Paris as a rebuilding Welsh side lost to the French on Friday night. Marco Riccioni also came off the bench for Italy in their defeat to the Scots on Saturday.
The two sides will face off against each other this Saturday in Rome for what could be a competition defining game for both sides.
All Saracens internationals will return to the club just in time for Showdown 5 with the game set to be a record breaking event at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Don't miss out, secure your seat today!
