Blues receive Short shrift
Saracens won their first game played at their new Allianz Park home with a 19-11 victory over the Blues in the LV= Cup.
Nils Mordt and Ceri Sweeney traded penalties before visiting No 8 Robin Copeland put the Blues in front after he stole the ball at a Saracens lineout, and powered over the line, riding a couple of tackles as he crashed over.
Killing the ball at a ruck earned prop Sam Hobbs time in the sin-bin and Mordt punished the infringement with his third penalty.
Substitute Gareth Davies kicked the Blues to within a point with 10 minutes to go, but his fellow replacement Thomas Young was yellow carded in a lively finish.
Saracens landed the killer blow in the closing moments when rampaging centre Duncan Taylor squirted a pass out to wing James Short who crossed, with Mordt converting.
