Saracens cruise into semis

Saracens will meet Munster in the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup after beating the Glasgow Warriors 38-13 at Allianz Park on Sunday.

The hosts led 14-3 at half-time, thanks to three penalties from Owen Farrell and a try by Chris Ashton. The winger received possession from an excellent Brad Barritt offload, and weaved inside an attempted tackle before dotting down.

Lee Jones collected Finn Russell's cross-field kick to score Glasgow's first try, seven minutes into the second half, but Marcelo Bosch's touchdown at the end of the third quarter gave Saracens a comfortable 21-8 lead.

Barritt crossed the line in the 73rd minute to put the result beyond doubt, before Ashton grabbed his second.
