Owen Farrell returns to lead the Saracens to 39-17 victory against Newcastle Red Bulls while first returns | Rugby Union News
Owen Farrell returned to the Saracens to lead them to a strong outside victory on the rediced Red Bulls of Newcastle in their opening match of the new season.
Saracens welcomed Farrell again when he put a MasterClass performance with the Londoners marking five trials on the way to beat Newcastle 39-17.
Despite all the excitement around the new era of Newcastle’s holding renamed in front of their first closed windows of 10,210 since 2018, it was a similar story because the ex-European champions made the screw of the second half.
The Saracens are perhaps not one of the fanciful sides of English rugby, but an excellent second half, showing the men of Mark McCall as a team with great ambitions to ban the shape of the form of last season.
With Kingston Park full of excitement and new owners from Newcastle, Red Bull’s Branding on all the most northern outposts in the league, it only took two minutes for all media threshing to be rewarded while the winger Alex Hearle left 25 meters to cross white after a patient phase game period.
Brett Connon converted and the Saracens fell to 14 men for a quarter of the game when the Flanker Nathan Michelow was shown the very first 20 -minute red card in the Prem (formerly known as Gallagher Previous) for a tackle for Talker George McGuigan.
Farrell removed visitors from the brand almost directly from the restart when he failed a penalty from the right.
Newcastle was full of zip from the start, but could not convert their advantage, and instead, it was the experienced Londoners who took the lead when a rapid movement led to the winger Brandon Jackson rushing without opposition in the right corner.
The first half was well ready, and a counterfeit of offside just before half an hour led Connon to take Newcastle in front of 30 meters.
The Saracens entered half-time 15-10 after the rear striker Andy Onyeama-Christie chose and passed in the middle, with the omnipresent farrell in hand to add the extras.
The second half was very different. Newcastle making four basic mistakes during the first three minutes of Don before Farrell stretches the head of the Saracens with a simple penalty.
The Saracens stood up on pressure, and two Quick-Fire gunshots around the hour finished the result for the Londoners.
First of all, Nick Tompkins outside the center was the fastest for a loose ball from a line near the range to manage on the right, and he was quickly followed by the winger Noah Caluori who was the beneficiary of a funny ball rebound to swallow a dive on the line and wrap the test bonus.
Newcastle was not in a mood to roll and plowed a second well -deserved trial when the beginner Freddie Clarke crossed a tackle to score after a Maul in the right corner was worked on the field.
But the Saracens showed their killer instinct and interrupted any feeling of return when Tompkins gave the ball for his second try from the evening to the 71st minute.
Bath Revise the Arlequins
Title champions Bath started the new season with a victory, beating Arlequins 47-31 at Twickenham Stoop.
Harlequins Flanker will be proven in vain for Evans in the first half in vain. Bath was shaken in the first half by an enterprising Quins, but once Chandler Cunningham-South was in yellow cardboard, there was only one team in the competition while Bath scored 33 unanswered points.
