Richard Hill played the first-half for Sarries' A against Northampton
|
England World Cup winner Richard Hill enjoyed a successful comeback for Saracens' A team, scoring a try in his first appearance in 16 months.
The Flanker featured for 40 minutes in Sarries' 43-12 Guinness A League win over Northampton on Monday.
Hill, 33, lined up alongside Thomas Castaignede and Andy Farrell.
"The plan for 'Hilly' was to only play for the first half, and it is great to see him come through unscathed," said Saracens' A team coach Mike Hynard
"It's good to see guys like that come into the team wanting to do well and not just going through the motions.
"It is also really good experience for the young guys who are in the side."
Hill has not played any rugby since picking up a knee injury in the first Test of last year's Lions tour of New Zealand.
But it was an encouraging return in St Albans as Hill touched down from the back of a maul to score Saracens' opening try.
