Saracens continued their dominance over Bristol Bears at the Stone X Stadium, winning 30-7 in the Premiership. Bristol have now failed to win in all eight of their Prem visits to Saracens' home since reaching the top flight, and this defeat is their first of the 2026-27 campaign.
Saracens' star wing Noah Caluori dived into the corner for a one-handed try just four minutes into his first Prem start of the season. Owen Farrell kicked two penalties to give the hosts an 11-0 lead at the break. Bristol's best chance came just before half-time, when Jack Bracken intercepted Sam Worsley's pass to deny Louis Rees-Zammit a try in the corner.
Harry Randall finally put Bristol on the board early in the second half, but Saracens quickly restored their 11-point lead when prop Alex O'Driscoll barged over for his first Prem try. Bristol then faded. Lovejoy Chawatama was sent to the sin bin for collapsing a driving maul, and Saracens were awarded a penalty try. Jack Bracken then secured the bonus point with a run into the corner.
Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam said his side had matched Saracens physically and defended strongly, but their attack lacked execution. "We were right in the fight," he said, adding that the team had missed key opportunities.
