I enjoyed the game despite it being a dead rubber. So it lacked
the full spice of a Premiership game but Quins did well overall.
Sarries were a bit lacklustre in the first half and we built a
good lead which we needed as they came out fired up in the
second. We managed to ride out the initial onslaught and then
secured the game with a fantastic breakout from defence for a
try, followed in short order by another try from a sweeping left
to right move. Great stuff and Sarries couldn't recover from
that despite pressing hard again. Much better than many of the
World Cup games.

I came late to watching the game on TV and saw that our
replacement scrum half had his kick charged down at the base of
the scrum-that position is a big worry for us if there are
injuries in the future.

Was at the game. Surprised Northmore got MotM. He is a better
13 than 12 an he didn't stand out for me. Porter was my choice.
Sarries were not the same team as the impressive offloading team
we faced early last season. It looked like their game plan
included heavy showcasing of Segun and Willis (like we were with
Cunningham South a few matches ago) and they looked less
daunting than I had expected as not a great deal came off for
them.
Biggest disappointment was that the North Stand Sniper is back,
and took down Manu Vunipola just after he had barely touched a
Quins player, resulting in a Saracens penalty.

Was at the game thought Porter and Launchbury both played well
Jibulu was good off the bench as well.
Anyone have any ideas what happened to Lewies I was hoping he’d
have a good run this season.

Entertaining game to watch as you would want but way too many
penalties given away and why were we kicking the ball so often
instead of keeping possession. I thought we deserved the win but
a few work ons for the team.

Porter's kicking from hand wasn't great, but otherwise an
excellent showing. Should've been a much bigger gap between the
sides given the number of times we messed up great attacking
opportunities leading to Saracens points.
Jibulu was hugely impressive. Riley gave some dumb penalties
away so he'll have to be careful! Back row was excellent, Joseph
was classy. Lynagh continues to be a bit ropey in defence.
Edwards comfortably the worst of the starting players.
Good win, better than I expected for a pre season game against
Saracens.

An enjoyable game. Thought we took our foot of the gas and
conceded a couple of sloppy tries to make the half time score
closer than it should've been.
Difficult to judge how well prepared we are for the start of the
Premiership as based on the two line-ups we should've (and
ultimately did) win pretty comfortably.
Sarries had a pretty decent tight five out but we won the battle
up front.
Edwards at fly-half is a worry. Good in attack but execution of
tactical kicking and conversions is very hit and miss. Where is
Jarod Evans?
Porter a significant upgrade on Gjaltema.
Agree with others that Jibulu was the standout player off the
bench.

I wasn't sure if he was hoping for a penalty or an Oscar
