Fiji Water Flying Fijians prop Eroni Mawi’s Saracens side beat Temo Mayanavanua’s Northampton 39-24 this morning at a sold-out StoneX Stadium.
This win moves Saracens up to third in the Gallagher Premiership table.
Saints defeated the north Londoners three times last season, but there was never any likelihood of extending that run as an abject first-half effort left them with an impossible task.
It was Northampton’s fifth loss in eight league games this season and they now find themselves 19 points behind joint leaders Bath and Bristol.
Fergus Burke scored two tries for Saracens, with Rhys Carre, Theo Dan, Ben Earl and Jamie George also crossing.
Burke added three conversions and a penalty for a 19-point tally.
Tommy Freeman, Tom Pearson, Archie McParland and Ollie Sleightholme scored for Saints, two of which Fin Smith converted.
On his 200th appearance for the club, Nick Tompkins led out Saracens, who were dealt a pre-match blow when Elliot Daly withdrew with a hamstring problem.
