Did Munster deserve a losing bonus point? Deserve has nothing to do with it

The match point total will tell you all you need to know about the result. 4-0 Saracens. 5-4 across the head-to-head.

The overall performance may be distinct from the result but the result always gets the main billing and rightly so. In a lot of ways, this Saracens side - along with Leinster - are the benchmark in European rugby in 2019. Even with Itoje and Barritt rotated out, they had six British & Irish Lions (seven really, when you consider Billy Vunipola), a rake of international standard players and a World Cup-winning tighthead prop to come back in this weekend after sitting last weekend out.
