SARACENS STRENGTHENED THEIR position at the top of Pool 1 of the Champions Cup with a 55-13 win over Oyonnax at Allianz Park.
It was the second bonus point win over the Top 14 side in the space of two weekends for Mark McCall’s side, and Ulster’s hopes of progressing into the quarter-finals of the European competition are now based on earning the runners-up spot in this group.

Ulster hammered Toulouse 38-0 in Belfast last weekend but face a far tougher task in la ville rose tomorrow. Les Kiss’ men have only played twice so far in the pool, with their scheduled opener against Oyonnax having been postponed due to the Paris attacks.
Ulster were well beaten by Saracens in Kingspan Stadium, before invigorating their knock-out dreams with the big win over Toulouse.
Bath and Wasps kick-off this afternoon at 3.15pm in the Rec in Pool 5 (BT Sport), which also contains Leinster. The eastern province are in action themselves at 5.15pm (Sky Sports) against Toulon at the Aviva Stadium.
Elsewhere, Bordeaux kick off against Ospreys at 5.15pm Irish time (Sky) in Pool 2, while Scarlets host Glasgow in Pool 3 at 7.45pm (BT)
