Ill-discipline proves costly as Saracens crash to defeat

SARACENS crashed to a 25-10 defeat at the hands of French champions Clermont-Auvergne in their Heineken Cup opener in Leinster’s pool on Saturday.

The Londoners’ game was marred by ill-discipline as they continued to give away penalties and turnover ball throughout the match.

Clermont did not create many chances, but neither did they need to as Saracens missed most of their own.
