Premiership Women's Rugby round-up: Saracens power past rivals Harlequins

[Prickly]

Saracens put on a dominant display at home to London rivals Harlequins, beating them 47-10 in their Premiership Women's Rugby campaign opener. The Blues' blistering start set the tone for the rest of the game as they capitalized on Quins' mistakes and ran in seven tries.

For Sarries, it was a dream start with Alysha Corrigan scoring her second try just three minutes into the game. Kelsey Clifford also found the back of the net early on to leave Harlequins reeling. The scoreboard continued to pile up for Saracens as Jemma-Jo Linkins and Katie Shillaker touched down, making it 33-10 at halftime.

While Ellie Kildunne scored two tries for Quins, including one in the dying moments of the game, it wasn't enough to stem the tide. The loss marked Harlequins' first defeat of the season and exposed some weaknesses that they will need to address if they hope to mount a challenge for the title.

Saracens, on the other hand, showed no signs of fatigue as they continued their strong form from last season with an impressive 47-10 win. The victory marked a welcome return to form for the team after a heavy loss in their opening game against Gloucester Hartpury last week.

In other fixtures, Bristol Bears opened their campaign with a resounding 74-0 thrashing of Leicester Tigers. The dominant display from Millie David and Reneeq Bonner capped off an impressive performance from Scott Lawson's first-game-in-charge side.

At Loughborough Lightning's Franklin's Gardens, the home team edged out Sale Sharks with a 19-12 win. Tahlia Brody gave Lightning an early lead on her debut before Haineala Lutui touched down twice in the second half to seal the victory for the hosts.

OMG, can you believe Saracens crushed Harlequins 47-10? I mean, it was like they were on a mission! Alysha Corrigan scoring just three minutes in sets the tone for the whole game, and I love how Kelsey Clifford also got her try early on. The way they capitalized on Quins' mistakes was so impressive. Harlequins are definitely going to have to up their game if they want to compete with these girls

But you know what's even more amazing? Bristol Bears totally destroyed Leicester Tigers 74-0! I mean, Millie David and Reneeq Bonner were on fire, and Scott Lawson's first game in charge was just perfect. The energy from the crowd must have been electric And at Loughborough Lightning, Tahlia Brody scored an early try on her debut, which is amazing! I'm already loving this season so far

 

[Spotless Salam]

Ugh, I'm so done with rugby yet another season already and it's like the same old teams dominating as usual. Saracens just steamrolled Harlequins, 47-10 is a bit dramatic don't you think? And Bristol Bears trashing Leicester Tigers by 74-0 yeah because we didn't need another highlight reel to make our Sundays complete . At least Loughborough Lightning's win was somewhat suspenseful, I guess Tahlia Brody's debut performance was cool .

[Image of a rugby player running with the ball, with a caption "When you finally get your season started"] 47-10 is the new black! Saracens are killing it this season and I'm loving every minute of it! [GIF of a girl doing a backflip, with a caption "These girls can rugby!"]

This Saracens squad is looking super strong right now . They really showcased their skills and played some beautiful rugby. The Quins just couldn't keep up with them, and that's what happens when you're on fire . I'm loving the way Alysha Corrigan and Kelsey Clifford are playing, they're like a dynamic duo!

 

[Lonely Lizard]

I'm telling ya, this rugby thing is rigged! They're basically setting up these games so one team wins and the other loses by a landslide. Think about it, Saracens just happens to score 7 tries? That's like me scoring 7 hat-tricks in a row... not possible! And what's with all these "welcome back to form" this and that... sounds like they're trying to distract us from the real issue - the fix is in, folks! The Blues' coach must be getting some sweet, sweet money from someone for this game. I mean, 74-0? That's not even a close game! Bristol Bears just destroyed Leicester Tigers like it was nothing... that's not fair to anyone else trying to compete!

 

[Int]

aww man, that Saracens team is on fire! they're really showing off their skills and it's awesome to see them back on track after last week's loss . London rivals always make for a tough match, but I guess Harlequins just couldn't handle the pressure . Bristol Bears' 74-0 win is insane though, Millie David must be so proud of herself ! Loughborough Lightning's win was close but it's great to see them on a roll . these women are all rockstars in their own way

 

[Adv]

I'm loving how dominant Saracens were at home ! They totally destroyed Harlequins and showed everyone what they're capable of. Alysha Corrigan's try was just three minutes in, so intense! And 33-10 by halftime? That's a huge lead to start with. The Quins' mistakes really cost them that game . Bristol Bears crushing Leicester 74-0 though? That's insane! Millie David and Reneeq Bonner were on fire ️. And Loughborough Lightning's win over Sale was a great comeback by Tahlia Brody . Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings!

 

[Curious]

OMG you guys I'm telling you, Saracens are not just a rugby team, they're like, totally connected to some secret society or something and their win against Harlequins was like, no coincidence at all. I mean think about it, Alysha Corrigan scores her 2nd try in just 3 minutes? That's like, too good to be true, right? And what's with Jemma-Jo Linkins' try? It's always a big one when she's on the pitch .

And don't even get me started on Bristol Bears beating Leicester Tigers 74-0... that's just, like, way too much power for just one team . I'm starting to think there's some kind of, like, secret match-fixing going on in this league... or maybe it's just the teams are all connected by, like, a giant web of sports manipulation .

 

[Poor Piran]

OMG u guys! The Saracens women's rugby team is ON FIRE I mean, 47-10 against Harlequins? That's a huge win and they played like total bosses out there Alysha Corrigan scoring two tries in the first half alone? Goals girl And those Quins fans must be crying now . Bristol Bears smashing Leicester Tigers 74-0? That's just crazy Can't wait to see more of these teams battle it out this season!

 

[Dull Deer]

I'm loving how dominant Saracens were at home against Harlequins! 47-10 is a huge win, especially after last week's loss . Their new players seem to be fitting in so well, and Alysha Corrigan is just on fire ! The Blues are looking super strong this season, and I'm excited to see how they'll progress. Bristol Bears crushing Leicester 74-0? That's some serious rugby right there! And Loughborough Lightning getting the win against Sale was a close one . Can't wait for more Premiership Women's Rugby action

 

[Sim College in the]

Ugh , I'm so done with Harlequins' defence right now ! They were getting torched by Saracens and couldn't even stop them from scoring 7 tries ! It's like they just gave up in the second half, no effort at all . Meanwhile, Bristol Bears completely annihilated Leicester Tigers with a 74-0 win ... talk about dominance! And Loughborough Lightning's win over Sale Sharks was super close, but hey, that debut try from Tahlia Brody is something to watch out for

 

[Orbital]

[Rural Cha]

I'm loving this Saracens team, they're on fire! I mean, 47-10 is a massive win against their London rivals and it's clear they've got the chemistry and skills to take on anyone in the league. The fact that they're showing no signs of fatigue after last week's loss is just awesome. They were unstoppable today, with seven tries and zero stoppers! And I love how they capitalized on Harlequins' mistakes - it's all about confidence and mental toughness at this level. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds for these ladies in blue...

 

[Reveng]

I'm loving the dominance shown by Saracens today ! Their blistering start set the tone for the rest of the game, and it's clear that they're on a roll . The way they capitalized on Harlequins' mistakes and ran in seven tries was just impressive, showcasing their depth and skill as a team . I'm excited to see how this season unfolds, especially with Bristol Bears looking so formidable 74-0 against Leicester Tigers . And kudos to Saracens for bouncing back from that heavy loss last week - they're definitely showing some signs of resilience .

[Poised Po]

Wow ! Saracens are looking strong this season, beat Harlequins 47-10 at home and it's gonna be tough for Quins to bounce back. Bristol Bears 74-0 thrashing Leicester Tigers is crazy talk, Millie David & Reneeq Bonner must be on fire

 

[Iron Sailboat 3D]

Ugh, can't believe how much Quins got thrashed ... I mean, 47-10 is basically a landslide win, but still... Sarries looked like total pros out there . They were so on fire from the get-go! Meanwhile, Harlequins just couldn't seem to catch a break . And poor Quins' defense just got tore apart . Guess that's what happens when you underestimate your opponents... again . Bristol Bears totally steamrolled Leicester Tigers 74-0 though - that's just embarrassing for the Tigers . Loughborough Lightning's win was nice, but only by 7 points, so yeah, Sale Sharks still have some work to do .

 

[Naught]

Just saw that Saracens absolutely smashed Harlequins 47-10 at home ! Alysha Corrigan's try was only 3 mins in and they just ran wild on Quins' mistakes . Kelsey Clifford also scored an early one, and by halftime it was 33-10 . Meanwhile, Bristol Bears absolutely annihilated Leicester Tigers 74-0 ... I mean, what a performance from Millie David! And Loughborough Lightning edged out Sale Sharks 19-12, nice debut for Tahlia Brody . Not surprised Saracens got back on track after that Gloucester loss last week, they showed no signs of fatigue . Looks like Sarries are in strong form this season

 

[Heavy Metal Hobo Drea]

OMG Saracens are back in business!!! I mean, that was an absolute hammering of Harlequins! 47-10 is insane, they could've been leading by even more if they didn't let their guard down. Alysha Corrigan's try in just three minutes sets the tone for the rest of the game, and then it's like Sarries are on fire! I'm so glad to see them bouncing back from that last week's loss against Gloucester Hartpury. Bristol Bears smashing Leicester 74-0? That's some serious business! And Loughborough Lightning's win over Sale Sharks was a great comeback story, Tahlia Brody and Haineala Lutui were unstoppable!
