Saracens plotting Munster downfall in Champions Cup semi-finals

Saracens face Munster in the Champions Cup semi-finals after bringing Glasgow’s European adventure to a halt with a 38-13 win at Allianz Park.

Two tries from Chris Ashton and one apiece by Marcelo Bosch and Brad Barritt kept the champions on course for a successful title defence, man of the match Owen Farrell contributing four penalties and three conversions.

Ashton advanced and damaged his Lions’ prospects in the space of 18 minutes, producing a magnificent finish only to then expose his fragile defence by waving over wing Lee Jones.
