72' Big shot from Matavesi as we start to repel the Saracens attack. James Lennon tries to exit but it's out on the full. Unlucky that one, right idea just a shame it didn't quite materialise. (17-33) #BluesFamily

73' Nathan Langdon gets a bit of treatment and now we're back with the Saracens throw. It's taken and they're off again. (17-33) #BluesFamily

74' Penalty called. Think we may have been in-front of the kicker. Not quite sure what's about to be given. (17-33) #BluesFamily

74' It's a scrum Blues after all that. Still inside our 22m. (17-33) #BluesFamily

75' Sarries have taken control of the scrum and they get the ball back. (17-33) #BluesFamily

76' It all goes a bit frantic and Blues force the knock on. (17-33) #BluesFamily

76' Cam King peels off the lineout and tries to get to halfway. Play is halted. Sir decides we'll get the scrummage. (17-33) #BluesFamily

78' Blues try to go expansive but it's forwards out wide to Jake Garside. Sarries scrum, far side, on halfway. (17-33) #BluesFamily

78' Saracens penalty at the scrum. They'll kick back into our 22m. (17-33) #BluesFamily

79' Lineout is good and maul sets. (17-33) #BluesFamily

80+' We make that time but a few more to be played here at Goldington Road. (17-40) #BluesFamily
