Sarries Goode fortune is bad news for Wasps
SARACENS closed the gap at the top of the Premiership to three points after Alex Goode’s 17-point haul secured a narrow 22-17 win away at London rivals Wasps.
Second-from-bottom Wasps have now lost seven consecutive Premiership matches but the losing bonus point they earned yesterday means they hold a nine-point advantage over rock bottom Newcastle.
“When you come away from home to a club that are fighting for survival, who have got most of their experienced players back, to come and get the job done is a big achievement,” said Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall. “We defended magnificently, were very disciplined and I thought our set-piece was very good.”
