Jackson kicks Saracens to easy victory

Fly-half Glen Jackson provided an immaculate 15-point goal-kicking contribution to give Saracens a 37-13 runaway victory which leaves Bristol rooted to the bottom of the Guinness Premiership.

Jackson landed three penalties and three conversions for the Londoners, who had to wait until six minutes from time to secure the bonus point when England captain Steve Borthwick scored their fourth try.

Bristol were never in contention after Sarries' Italy prop Matias Aguero and recent arrival Brad Barritt, making his first full appearance in place of injured centre Andy Farrell, hit them with tries in the opening 15 minutes.

Despite dominating the game Saracens had to wait until the second half for further tries from number eight Ben Skirving and Borthwick, back in the side after missing the previous week's defeat at Gloucester because of the international-enforced rest which annoyed Sarries boss Eddie Jones.

Hooker Scott Link later replied with a try for Bristol, converted by Ed Barnes, who also landed two penalties while Gordon Ross converted Saracens' final try.

The visitors had David Blaney sin-binned for killing the ball with seven minutes remaining to compound a miserable day.
