Second-half blitz helps Saracens beat Newcastle

Saracens climbed back into the top four of the Premiership following a 39-31 victory over Newcastle at home. Despite trailing by ten points at the interval, the hosts capitalized on a period of numerical superiority in the second half to score 22 unanswered points.

Newcastle players Sam Graham and Alex Hearle both received yellow cards during this decisive stretch, allowing Saracens to pull away with multiple tries. Although Newcastle managed two late scores to secure a bonus point, the defeat leaves them at the bottom of the league table.

The match also saw Newcastle prop Elliot Millar-Mills leave the field early due to injury.
