GUINNESS PREMIERSHIP - 07MAR08

HARLEQUINS 21 - SARACENS 15

Quins and England scrum-half Danny Care bounced back from his recent Six Nations yellow card nightmare against Ireland scoring the decisive try for his club against Saracens on Saturday.

The visitors made no less than eight changes to their squad throughout the game, but did little to dampen Quins determination to win out.

Saracens equalled their hosts on the try-scoring front, having taken the lead with the game's first in the 26th minute ... but something was lacking throughout and it showed, big time.

Struggling Saracens are preparing for a massive overhaul next season, with incoming director of rugby Brendan Venter already deciding to terminate the contracts of over a dozen players in favour of imported South Africans.

Emotionally struggling

Speaking after the game Saracens Head Coach Eddie Jones, himself a victim of the impending changes, said of this team ...

"They just weren't concentrating on the game ... after the news broke this week was always going to be much harder than the last ... You know, you lose your girlfriend and go out and have a drink and for the next 48 hours you are all right. Then you go home and your girlfriend's not there and that's when it starts to sink in ... That's what this week's been like ... I was anticipating emotionally we'd struggle in the first part of the game but not as much as we did."
