Lewis Ludlow’s late attempt ultimately proved pivotal, as Gloucester scored a first victory at Saracens since 2008 to signal his playoff momentum. Alex Goode kicked the penalty to the corner and after Ludlow illegally brought down the maul, Dom Morris moved towards Saracens after a good mannequin. Ludlow received his marching orders, but Gloucester nearly held on until Rotimi Segundo danced his way through after another Saracen mallet was repelled. A Ben Earl fumble ensured the Saracens went ahead at half-time, but the hosts received a fair warning from a resilient Gloucester. Indeed, Gloucester went ahead with a Hastings penalty in the 52nd minute, but Saracens’ response was emphatic.
