Saracens 30-26 Edinburgh

Saracens returned to Europe’s top table after a two-year absence with a bonus-point victory, but this was anything but routine. For much of the contest they were stifled by a more dynamic Edinburgh outfit who won the breakdown battle. It wasn’t a classic but the three-times champions will care little about the optics. This was the statement win they were after.
