Jamies George double sees Saracens down Wasps

England hooker Jamie George came off the bench to score two tries as reigning Premiership champions Saracens ended Wasps' perfect start to the season with a 30-14 win at Allianz Park on Sunday.

Defeat at London club Saracens' home ground was tough on Wasps and former England fly-half Danny Cipriani.

The playmaker has been overlooked by Eddie Jones since the Australian became England coach after last year's World Cup.

Last month the former Wallaby boss made it clear that, as George Ford and Andy Farrell were his first-choice fly-half/inside centre combination, there was no place for Cipriani in the Test set-up unless he could be the "main man" and "when he plays well enough to be number one he'll be in the squad."

But with Jones among the Allianz Park crowd on Sunday, Cipriani set-up Wasps' lone try with a brilliant step and go before making another eye-catching break in the second half.

England back-row Billy Vunipola shone for Saracens as they returned to the top of the table.

It was his brother Mako, an England front-row forward, who opeened the scoring with a try off a close-range line-out.

Jimmy Gopperth got Wasps on the scoreboard with a penalty before Alex Lozowski kicked one for Saracens after the visitors' scrum collapsed.

Wasps closed the gap in the 38th minute when Cipriani cleverly accelerated away from Billy Vunipola and sped down the left wing before delivering a scoring pass to Josh Bassett.

But Mike Ellery hit back for Saracens before half-time and early in the second half Cipriani, after a promising break, was outpaced by Alex Lozowski.

Gopperth and Lozowski exchanged penalties before Gopperth kicked Wasps closer before George twice powered his way over from close range.
