Saracens comfortably beat Edinburgh

Saracens score five tries in an easy victory against Edinburgh in the Heineken Cup this afternoon.

Saracens have finished the pool stage of the Heineken Cup with an easy win over Edinburgh.

Sarries made a strong start to the game as three Owen Farrell penalties and a Chris Ashton try put them in a comfortable lead, before Greig Tonks got the visitors back in the match with a try just before half time.

Ashton added his second shortly after the break before a Matt Stevens effort left Saracens well in control of the tie.

Edinburgh pushed hard to try to reduce the hosts lead, but they were unable to match Saracens' pace, allowing them two tries late in the match, with Charlie Hodgson and Chris Wyles taking the ball across the line.
