After a year without competitive rugby, everybody was keen to see the first match of this shortened season – and above all because the opposition was Saracens, a team who were relegated last year from the Premiership. Although supporters were not able to go to the Mennaye through Covid, they could see it online. Saracens started as was expected, attacking the Pirates line without respite, and following a number of penalties given by the Pirates, they look the lead with an unconverted try – 0-5. However, slowly the Pirates gained some superiority – particularly in the scrums and line-outs – and after a quarter of an hour, they gained a scrum penalty – 3-5. Then 11 minutes later, the Pirates gained another penalty and without waiting, they took a quick tap, passed the ball to Tom Duncan who scored the Pirates first try, which was unconverted – 8-5. Within 4 minutes, Saracens scored their second unconverted try – 8-10, the score which remained until half-time.langbot langbot
