Saracens' forward domination proves too much for Dursley
BRISTOL Saracens moved up a place to sixth with an excellent 30-12 Gloucester Premier victory in testing cold and blustery conditions at Dursley.
The forwards laid the foundations for victory with a patient, committed effort with lock Ed Windsor catching the eye with two second-half touchdowns.
