    FT: Saracens 56-27 Glasgow

    Saracens' Alex Goode spoke about stepping in as a last-minute replacement for Owen Farrell at fly-half. He told BT Sport:

    "I'm very lucky. I've got a great team around me. The boys didn’t show any nerves around me. They were outstanding today on the front foot in attack.

    "We've played Munster in a semi-final before and we know what a great side they are.

    "We'll prepare for that in a couple of weeks but for now it's about enjoying what a great victory that was for us."

    Man-of-the-match Jamie George said on BT Sport:

    "It’s a huge win. We’ve had some great memories made in this competition we love playing in Europa and playing on the biggest stage.

    "More so than ever I'm trying to put pressure on myself to back up good performances. The more I can do that the more I can play at the highest level."

    The Saracens steamroller chugs on to the semi-finals. Munster are next in its path. A sudden stop or a mere speed bump?

    That is the weekend of 19-21 April.

    Try - Saracens 56-27 Glasgowpublished at 80+1 mins

    Matt Fagerson (con Hastings)

    A canny short line-out play is shoved over by Glasgow. They have scored the first and last tries of the match, but there have been seven Saracens scores in between.

    Cue 'Sweet Caroline' over the tannoy.

    Saracens 56-20 Glasgow

    This is a sore one. Brad Barritt - Saracens centre - has gone over on his ankle and is wheeled off.

    That looks like it will be at least a week or two out of action.

    Saracens will be very happy with their work in the second half. They've taken complete control of this game in every facet. Moving on into the next round, Saracens will be very dangerous.

    This is loose and wild now.

    Glasgow are throwing passes and running from everywhere. Alex Goode, Saracens fly-half, joins the party with a showy dummy and dart.

    Saracens 56-20 Glasgow

    That sums up the day really.

    Stuart Hogg burst clear and pins his ears back for the corner. But he does not have quite enough to get to the line as some hugely committed cover from Max Malins and Alex Lozowski.

    Saracens have been excellence in execution and dedication. Glasgow have come up a little short of their best.

    Jamie George departs to a big ovation. The home hooker has been excellent. Tom Woolstencroft is on.

    Nick Tomkins

    No let-up.

    And nothing too complicated about that either.

    Brad Barritt, Billy Vunipola and Nick Isiekwe provide the straight-ahead power, before Nick Tompkins wades through the remnants of what defence is left to score under the posts.

    Alex Lozowski clips over another two.

  12. Postpublished at 69 mins

    Saracens 49-20 Glasgow

    Glasgow second row Tim Swinson has copped a nasty one.

    The lock has twisted an ankle in contact and sustained some serious damage. The stretcher is on.

    Swinson gives referee Nigel Owens an x-rated assessment of his own as the official jogs over to check on him.

    George Horne (con Hastings)

    Just a consolation?

    Replacement scrum-half George Horne is over after superb work from Adam Hastings and Sam Johnson frees Stuart Hogg for a run in on Liam Williams.

    Adam Hastings clips over the conversion and jogs back to halfway.

    Jamie George (con Lozowski)

    Jamie George is locked on at the back of the driving maul, Brad Barritt comes in to add some more horsepower and the hooker drives down to touch the ball over the line for five more points.

    Another superb conversion from Alex Lozowski.

    A lot of blood in the water now. Saracens are circling for a sixth try with a line-out five metres out...

    It's an easy read for David Strettle. If you pass that ball blindly you are asking for trouble and it's easy picking for a player of his quality.

    David Strettle (con Lozowski)

    At half-time we were wondering if Glasgow could pull off a Calcutta Cup 2019 style comeback.

    Instead Saracens are producing a Calcutta Cup 2017-style walloping.

    David Strettle intercepts a loose pass in the Glasgow backline and gallops in under the posts for a simple seven-pointer.

    Another clean contact and another three points as Saracens stretch out towards the horizon and the semi-finals.

    Saracens have made a clutch of changes in the pace. On come Titi Lamositele, Vincent Koch and Nick Isiekwe. Richard Barrington, Christian Judge and Will Skelton make way.
