Richard Hill
England World Cup player, Richard Hill, has been ruled out of the Saracens team for the back-to-back Parker Pen Cup clashes with Glasgow.

Saracens warmed up for the Glasgow clashes with a convincing 27-3 over their fellow Zurich Premiership strugglers Leeds yesterday.

Hill will undergo surgery after having his nose badly broken in last month's match against the New Zealand Barbarians at Twickenham. Rod Kafer, the Saracens coach, said: "It is obviously very disappointing not to have Richard available for the next month, but it is in the long-term interests of him and the club for the operation to go ahead now."

Glasgow face Saracens at Vicarage Road a week tomorrow, with the return leg taking place at Hughenden the following Friday.

Arrangements are being made for supporters to fly from Glasgow and back on match day, with a coach connection between Stansted Airport and Vicarage Road, Watford. For further information please phone Lawrie’s Travel on 0131-554 0471.
