Saracens scored three penalty tries in one game against Leicester, becoming the first to do so in English Premiership Rugby.
Not surprisingly Saracens’ forwards dominated the game in the 26-6 victory, bombarding Leicester’s try line and forcing their opponents to commit fouls.
After the first two penalty tries, the referee tried to give leniency but after three collapsed scrums, three penalties and a yellow card, the hat-trick of penalty tries was sealed by yet another collapsed scrum.
The win gave Saracens their 14th straight in all competitions.
While it’s the first time three penalty tries have been scored in the one game in the England competition, a penalty-try hat-trick occurred just two years ago in the European Cup between Toulon and Cardiff.
