Saracens earned a bonus-point 30-7 win over Bristol Bears at StoneX Stadium, handing the visitors their first defeat of the season while extending an eight-game home streak.

Saracens maintained their complete mastery over Bristol Bears at the StoneX Stadium, securing a bonus-point 30-7 victory to claim their second win of the campaign.

The result marked Bristol's first defeat of the 2026-27 Premiership season and extended their winless streak to eight matches away to Saracens since earning promotion to the top flight.

Winger Noah Caluori, making his first league start of the season after recovering from wrist surgery, opened the scoring inside four minutes. Saracens stripped the ball in midfield and spread play out wide, where Caluori dived into the corner for a one-handed finish.

Owen Farrell added a penalty to push the lead to 8-0 before the hosts were reduced to 14 men when Olamide Sodeke was sent to the sin bin for a head-on-head tackle on George Taylor. Bristol failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage, and Farrell kicked a second penalty to send Saracens into the interval leading 11-0.

Bristol squandered opportunities late in the opening half, including an interception by Jack Bracken that denied Louis Rees-Zammit, and another near-miss when Luka Ivanishvili was pushed into touch close to the line. They finally struck early in the second half through Harry Randall, who combined with Aidan Boshoff down the left wing to run in unopposed.

Saracens quickly answered when replacement prop Alex O'Driscoll barged across the line for his first Premiership try. The home side pulled further clear when Bristol replacement prop Lovejoy Chawatama was sin-binned for collapsing a driving maul, resulting in a penalty try.

Bracken then wrapped up the maximum five points for Saracens, evading one defender and holding off another to score in the corner.
