Bristol Bears suffered a gut-wrenching last-second defeat at the StoneX on Saturday as imperious Saracens were victorious 20-19 thanks to a Francois Hougaard score at the wire.
Pat Lam’s men outplayed the league leaders with vastly more attacking opportunities and set-piece dominance, but ultimately the hosts did what they do best: win.
Bears scores came through Harry Thacker and Gabriel Ibitoye, as well as the boots of AJ MacGinty and first-time Premiership starter James Williams slotting a couple of long-distance kicks.
