Francois Hougaard scored a last-minute try as Saracens came from behind to beat Bristol 20-19.
An AJ MacGinty penalty and Harry Thacker try put Bristol ahead in a cagey first half.
James Williams and Alex Goode traded penalties before a Theo Dan try reduced the gap to four points.
Gabriel Ibitoye's try 10 minutes from time put Bristol nine points clear, but Rotimi Segun retaliated and Hougaard crossed at the death to snatch the win.
Following the game, some negative comments were aimed at Andy Uren after the winning try,
This displeased Ellis Genge.

He wrote; "Borthwick’s decision to make Owen Farrell captain is the right one and I would absolutely have him starting at No 10 during the Six Nations. He must begin the Scotland game there."

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
