Support Marathon Sarrie!
On April22nd 2012 Saracens trusty mascot Sarrie the Camel will be donning his running shoes to take on his very first London Marathon. Along with 6 ‘Sarrie Supporters’ he will be taking to London’s streets to complete the infamous 26.2 miles in aid of the Saracens Sport Foundation.

Follow Sarrie’s training progress and that of our Sarrie Supporters through the community website and @SaracensSportFo – with only 11 weeks to go they need all the encouragement they can get!

So get behind Sarrie and his friends as they pound the pavements, clocking up over 180 miles between them, and support the Foundations ongoing mission to inspire communities and change lives through the power of sport.

Busy weekend for internationals
It was a busy weekend for Saracens players on international duty and there was plenty to cheer for England fans as Charlie Hodgson and Owen Farrell scored all the points in the Calcutta Cup win over Scotland.

Hodgson's second half try and a conversion and two penalties from Farrell saw England to their first victory at Murrayfield since 2004.

Brad Barritt, Mouritz Botha, David Strettle and Matt Stevens were also in action in Edinburgh as part of the England side that won 13-6.

In Dublin, Rhys Gill was part of the Wales side that beat Ireland 23-21 at the Aviva Stadium.

On Friday night, Andy Saull and Ben Spencer were part of an England Saxons side that lost 35-0 to Scotland A, but there was better news for the U20s side that included Ben Ransom and Scott Spurling as they were 59-3 winners over Scotland.
