Saracens tighthead\u00a0Marco Riccioni\u00a0couldn\u2019t resist having the last laugh with Northampton supporters after being sent to the sin bin \u2014 but Saints fans were quick to fire back.<\/p>\n

After receiving a\u00a0yellow card, the Italian international cheekily\u00a0pointed to the three stars\u00a0on his Saracens shirt, representing the club\u2019s\u00a0three Champions Cup victories.<\/p>\n

However, Northampton fans \u2014 who had plenty to celebrate after a\u00a043\u201331 victory\u00a0inspired by\u00a0Tommy Freeman\u2019s four-try masterclass\u00a0\u2014 were quick to remind him of the controversies behind those stars.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll won with the help of financial cheating before he was even at the club!\u201d wrote one fan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWere there not some slight issues with financial regulations at the time those three were sewn on?\u201d another joked.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdd one more and he\u2019s counted Tommy\u2019s tries,\u201d added another.<\/p>\n

Other supporters were less subtle:<\/p>\n

\u201cAn asterisk for every salary cap breach,\u201d quipped one, while another wrote, \u201cMore stars and stains than points they went home with today.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Riccioni may have been aiming for a bit of light-hearted banter, it\u2019s fair to say Saints fans had the final word \u2014 both on social media\u00a0and on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n
