THE SARACENS BACK row were at their tigerish best in Paris last Sunday as the visitors eked out a narrow 12-11 win over Racing Metro to advance to the Champions Cup semi-final.

Even if Burger is found guilty at the low end of the punishment spectrum he will be out for two weeks and miss Saracens’ big away semi-final with Clermont.
