Saracens (11) 23
Try: Ratuvou Pens: Jackson 5 Drop-goals: Jackson

Ratuvou scored a fine try against Bristol on Wednesday night

Glen Jackson kicked 18 points as Saracens comfortably defeated rock-bottom Bristol in the Premiership.

Saracens took the lead with a superbly crafted try for Kameli Ratuvou but the hosts hit back through David Lemi's converted score.

An Adrian Jarvis penalty gave Bristol a 10-5 lead but Sarries went in front through five Jackson penalties.

Ed Barnes narrowed the gap with two penalties but a Jackson drop-goal ensured Saracens were not overhauled.

Bristol boss Richard Hill:
"If we were playing terribly, you would have to worry.

"Obviously we are disappointed to lose, but we played some very good rugby and it might have been different had a couple of kicks gone over.

"If we keep playing like that then we will win some matches."

Saracens boss Eddie Jones:
"A lot of our boys have never won at Bristol before.

"It was scratchy, but we showed a bit of grit and you have got to to win those sort of games.

"A win down here is a good result, and I thought that Glen Jackson's control of the game was pretty good once again."
