Muir caught scrum-half Natasha 'Mo' Hunt's quick pass to barrel through two tacklers and under the posts inside two minutes and set the tone. Jones, who missed last season after suffering an ACL injury, powered over as the hosts' maul surged forward from a third consecutive line-out, and Shekells added their third as the ball went wide and Gloucester-Hartpury exploited their numbers on the overlap. While Saracens came into the game having won six matches in recent weeks to clinch the PWR Cup, they were outdone in every area and Ireland's Monaghan - on her first start for Gloucester-Hartpury since the PWR final in June 2024 following knee surgery - stretched over for the bonus point fourth try on 47 minutes. "I was smiling from ear to ear that whole game, it was a bit of a dream being back out there with the girls and the atmosphere the crowd bring is magic," Monaghan told BBC Sport. "We've only had a couple of weeks together and to put out a performance like that shows the determination and the drive of this group," she added. "We know there's still so much more to come, there's so much to grow in that game and we can improve week on week." The Londoners finally put points on the board through Campbell but just five minutes later Gloucester-Hartpury had another at the other end as Jones scored her second try. England centre Heard added a sixth, scooping up the ball as it went loose from a ruck and surging over after Bethan Lewis had made a line break.
