Strettle helps Saracens to reach the last eight in The Heineken Cup

Saracens became the only English side to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup with a win in Treviso.

Sarries trailed by four points at half-time, Robert Barbieri and Tommaso Iannone touching down for the hosts and Mouritz Botha for the visitors.

David Strettle scored after the restart but Treviso rallied, Tobias Botes having a try disallowed.

However, the English champions managed to hold on to top Pool Five and secure a home clash in the last eight.

Owen Farrell opened the scoring with a penalty before Treviso number eight Barbieri scored the first try of the match, picking up from the base of the scrum and breaking through the tackle of Alex Goode.

Sarries went over for their first try after 16 minutes, Peter Stringer putting in Botha to touch down under the posts, before Farrell kicked the extras.

However, Treviso came storming back, Iannone going over in the corner after quick hands down the line.

Kris Burton kicked the conversion and when the Treviso fly-half added three more points with a long-range drop-goal it became clear the English champions were in for a testing afternoon.

Farrell popped over a penalty shortly before half-time, Treviso's scrum having disintegrated on the retreat, meaning the visitors trailed 17-13 with 40 minutes remaining.

Wing Strettle gave Saracens the perfect start after the break, zig-zagging over for a try after scrum-half Botes had a kick charged down. Farrell made the conversion.
