Prem Rugby Cup: Saracens demolish Newcastle to claim play-off berth

Advertisements

Bath signed off from their Prem Rugby Cup campaign in style, overcoming a listless Sale Sharks 20-0 at the Recreation Ground while also denying the visitors a home semi-final.

The hosts showed intent from the first whistle, Dan Frost scoring within the first five minutes following a set of powerful pick and drives from close range.

Playing in grim conditions, Sam Winters came nail-bitingly close to a second before Tom de Glanville skidded over in the corner as the Sale defence found itself outnumbered once the ball was spread wide.

Arthur Green added a third after Tom Carr-Smith’s quick tap penalty before Tom Butt claimed a fourth, making the most of an opportunistic cross-field kick.

Despite the loss, the Sharks still qualify for the play-offs but now face an away trip to Leicester Tigers in the semi-finals.
