Bristol Bears were one pass away from spoiling Saracens' party at 'The Showdown 2' as they were narrowly beaten 27-23 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
In the bright Spring sunshine the Bears scored three superb first-half tries through Antoine Frisch, Piers O'Conor and Tiff Eden, with Eden landing a solitary conversion and a penalty.
But Saracens scored a brace of tries through Max Malins and Elliot Daly with Owen Farrell notching both conversions and a pair of penalties to go in at 20-20 at half time.
