Saracens continued their winning ways with a crushing victory overLeicester.
Alex Lozowski finished a superb move at the StoneX Stadium before Ben Earl, Max Malins and Ivan van Zyl stretched the hosts' lead at the break.
It was three wins in three for the team as they were capped by the likes of Theo and Sean.
Steve Borthwick's side didn't score a single point in the first half and only two in the second.
Handre Pollard came off with an injury after making his debut as a half-time replacement.
Sarries went top of the early-season table after winning their first two matches against Quins and Gloucester.
Freddie Burns gave the visitors an early lead with two penalties.
After Lozowski dotted down from a slick passing move that began in Sarries' own 22, Cronin collected Burns' chip and gave the tigers a brief advantage.
In the first half, it was all the other way around. Jamie George burst forward to provide the assist for Malins and Van Zyl went over from close range at the half-time break.
After the restart, Steward powered over in the corner to cut the deficit to nine points.
After seeing off three tackles to weave his way into the corner, Daly bundled over from a metres out to put the game out of reach.
After coming off the bench, Scotland wing Maitland ran in from the halfway line to complete the onslaught and give the team a 50 point lead.
Mark is the director of rugby.
We asked them some questions after we played well with the ball.
In the first half, we gave away a lot of penalties and that can lead to a loss.
We don't want to give that many penalties away, but we rolled our sleeves up.
We almost took it on as a new challenge, because we didn't feel sorry for ourselves.
Steve Borthwick is the boss ofLeicester.
TheSaracens have been the standard bearers for a long time.
They have superstars in their squad but not in the 23. They are not easy to play against.
The team is full of power and speed. The English game isn't as powerful as it could be, it's expensive and tends to go somewhere else, but Saracens have power and pace.
Replacements include Pifeleti, Mawi, Riccioni, Christie, De Haas, and Maitland.
