Tekori is challenged by Penney and Barrell at Vicarage Road

Saracens' hopes of Amlin Challenge Cup qualification remain alive after Glen Jackson landed six penalties to beat Castres at Vicarage Road.

Fly-half Jackson broke the deadlock in the 20th minute but wing Paul Bonnefond pulled Castres into the game with a try which Thomas Bouquie converted.

Jackson gave Saracens the edge with three more penalties before half-time.

Castres replied through Yohan Audrin's converted try, but Jackson sealed it with a penalty at the death.

Sarries' victory takes them level on points at the head of the pool with Jonny Wilkinson's Toulon, who have a game in hand after their match in Rovigo fell victim to the weather.
