Saracens centre Kevin Sorrell kicked two penalties, two conversions and a try
as his side claimed a comfortable Premiership triumph over Harlequins.
Sorrell, who has taken over kicking duties from the injured Duncan McRae, had
two weeks earlier been instrumental in Saracens' 26-18 win over Quins by kicking
seven penalties from as many attempts.
This time the England A player got the ball rolling with two early penalties
before touching down on the right wing for the first try of the afternoon after
11 minutes.
Sorrell benefited from a Tony Diprose feed following good work from backs Tim
Horan, Nick Walshe and Kyran Bracken.
Australian centre Horan kept the momentum going after hooker Robbie Russell
popped up the ball to captain Bracken, who in turn fed Horan. He was left to
charge 25 metres up the field to score, with Sorrell converting.
Saracens stalwart Diprose was next on the scoreboard, the number eight
benefiting from a break by Kieran Roche.
Again Sorrell converted, while Irish international Niall Woods kept Quins'
head just above water with three penalties.
The home side were also unlucky not to be awarded a penalty try in the first
half after Saracens' Dan Luger held back Ben Gollings, who was charging down the
ball near his opponents' goal-line.
New Zealander Brendon Daniel finally touched down for Quins, who have only
managed to win two league games this season.
The pacey winger scored in the 50th minute after Harlequins appeared to be
reviving their game in the second half.
England international Luger, however, continued to rub salt in his former
side's wounds by scoring after 74 minutes to collect Saracens' fourth try of the
afternoon and an important bonus point.
