The LV= Organising Committee subsequently awarded the match to Saracens by 20 points to nil (a bonus point win). Dragons were also fined £10,000 (suspended) for their failure under LV= Cup Regulation 6.7 (that the pitch was unplayable and no suitable alternative arrangements were in place). Dragons appealed this decision and their appeal was upheld. The decision was quashed, with the match instead being recorded as a 0–0 draw and the suspended fine reduced from £10,000 to £5,000. ---- ---- ---- Pool 2 v Pool 3 Tables Round 1 ---- ---- ---- Round 2 ---- ---- ---- Round 3 ---- ---- ---- Round 4 ---- ---- ---- == Knockout stage ==
