Sarries steal it at the death

Published on April 5, 2015 | Leave a response

A last-gasp penalty from Marcelo Bosch guided Saracens past Racing Métro and into the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup in Paris on Sunday.

Racing looked to have done enough to book their place in the final four, as a try and two penalties from Maxime Machenaud saw them take an 11-9 lead into the dying minutes.

However, the French side opted to try run the clock down and were penalised for sealing off at the ruck, handing Bosch the opportunity to win it from about 45m on the angle.

The Argentine made no mistake, as last season's beaten finalists claimed a dramatic 12-11 victory to ensure that England will be represented in the final four of Europe's premier rugby competition.

Racing Métro – Try: Maxime Machenaud. Penalties: Machenaud (2).
Saracens – Penalties: Charlie Hodgson (2), Alex Goode, Marcelo Bosch.
