On todays’s evidence I think that’s fair.

I would say that the scoreline flatters Sarries. I think the
game changed with the unfortunate kick to Bracken

Saracens had a similarly youthful team out so our selection is
no excuse

Ah no, Saracens had a huge age + experience advantage. Some
examples:
Marcus Street - 75 Premiership appearances, 20 PRC, 14 Champions
Cup, 26 years old
Hugh Tizard - 88 Premiership, 21 Champions Cup, 9 PRC, 1
Challenge Cup, 2 England A, 2 Prem titles, 25 years old
Tom Willis - 86 Premiership, 17 Top14, 11 Champions cup, 10 PRC,
5 Challenge Cup, 2 Anglo Welsh, 8 Tests, 2 England A, 26 years
old
Gareth Simpson - 71 Premiership, 8 Champions Cup, 4 Super Rugby
Pacific, 8 Challenge Cup, 15 PRC, 28 years old
Sam Spink - 24 Premiership, 1 Champions Cup, 23 Super Rugby
Pacific, 3 challenge Cup, 7 PRC, 2 Anglo-Wlesh, 2 Championship,
26 years old
Olly Hartley - 21 Premiership, 9 Champions Cup, 15 PRC, 8
championship, 23 years old
Max Malins - 86 Premiership, 13 Champions Cup, 22 Tests, 6
Challenge Cup, 9 PRC, 4 Anglo-Welsh, 28 years old
even Harry Wilson is 28 with 4 Champions Cup appearances, 11
Premiership, 11 PRC, and 37 championship games
Compare to Quins and the only guys with 20 appearances or more
in all competitions for Quins are Els and Musk
No comment on the quality of our play or otherwise, not seen the
match, and we lost to them last year when the age/experience
split was reversed. But on paper, Saracens should have been
winning this heavily.

Seeing the team sheets for the game the outcome is about what I
expected. Saracens only had one point in the competition and I
don’t know what the make up of their squads were for the other
rounds but I think they wanted to make sure they won to get a
bit of revenge for the loss to us in the Prem. We showed some
naivety which you expect from youngsters but also some flashes
of good play. Shame we didn’t get a TBP.

The club treated this for development and that's fair enough -
but for perspective just seen the figure that for a ST holder
that was about £70. If you add that up for the other games, not
great value really.

I know this will mean next to nothing for most of you but for
Twickenham RFC (and to a lesser extent the Ams), this is cool

Yet for others it was much less.

He looked sharp when he came on and was unlucky not to score
late on and having a try chalked off when one of the other
youngsters (who's name I can't now remember) got ahead of his
kick through
