    @wrecker – re RSA yes that makes sense, I too can see large numbers of players leaving

    wrecker, which stand at AG has most legroom these days? Can’t remember which one we sat in last year for play-offs but the big awkward lummox I took with me last year had to be crow-barred out at the end. He might be coming again this year.

    Honestly not sure dd. I always sit in the Dolman, and there isn’t too much legroom there. He’s a wealthy sort isn’t he? Get the tight get to spring for a box!!!

    Cory Allen is an odd choice though.

    Kurtley Beale to wasps. Jeez, their fortunes have changed! Couple of seasons ago they were staring at relegation and bankruptcy, look at them now. The Cov move was obviously a good one.

    So the question is did Ben Botica get out of the changing room alive. Dr Jaw looks a tad miffed!!

    That’s a hell of a mistake.
    I bet his leaving do will be a bit short on cheer considering he gifted the win to his new club

    Quins’ fans are used to them.

    Am surprised i haven’t seen one of my mates (a quins fan) ranting about that yet

    Jeebus that is unforgivable. I hope he had to find his own way home after that.

    On the Olympic 7’s squad…. I know I am a massive fanboi but I hope Joe Simpson can get some reward after his untimely injury got in the way of good form. Bit of a Mark Bennett Fanboi too

    Kind of an interesting opportunity for Cubby to achieve something his older brother will never have the chance to achieve despite his own success…. though in reality it looks like England 7’s plus token others

    Stupid, but it hardly lost them the game. The lack of performance from the pack did that. Dire at the scrum and pathetic at the breakdown.

    This could be Saracen’s year as good a chance as they’ve had, although I have a feeling he’s going to get another schooling about how to play 10

    Or not!
    Wiggo is average at best though.

    Farrell has certainly had a good first half. Carter has an injury of some sort so isn’t kicking the penalties again as per the QF

    He’s been playing like that all year to be fair to him. He’s developed into a very, very good 10 IMHO.

    Carter definitely wasn’t fit. Itoje having a strong game too.

    Edt: maybe it will be Farrell’s day given how long he held onto the ball and Saracens come away with a penalty and 15-6

    Considering he was penalised for a tackle that was fine and the racing player gets off scot free with a blatant late hit, there is no way anyone can accuse him of getting lucky.

    Having a pretty good game today…..unlike Nigel Owens imo!

    Ref question! First half, just before the Racing 9 point pen, ball bounced out of a messy ruck, Racing player sat on the ground grabbed, played the. ball and formed a new ruck. Shortly after Racing get a pen – shouldn’r that have been a Sarries pen? S’what I would have done! Player on the ground is out of the game! It was right in front of Mr Owens too, who is a slightly more experienced ref than myself… hence the question.

    I saw that, it was the pretty French hooker. Nige hasn’t had a great day.

    Well done Saracens – not a try fest but i enjoyed that.

    The hit on the big 8 was just legal but his arm came up, pen no card was correct imo. The kick hit/charge wasn’t a pen

    Congratulations to Saracens, the better team by some margin. Racing looked like a team in their first final – they’ve made a lot of progress but they never did enough and all the important bits of play Sarries won and all the stand out performances where theirs.

    Dan who?

    (actually missed 2H – did he get better before the injury?)

    Only lasted a few minutes in the second half I think. Certainly didn’t get any better! Farrell was excellent today!

    I disagree on both counts. That late hit was led with an elbow to the neck area.
    Anyhoo, quite right, the best team won. Farrell is the starting FH for the best team in europe. Hopefully this means Ford keeping the england bench warm. He’s been shit all year.

    You know my views on that @wrecker but today is not the day to discuss it. Farrell deserves the medal as do the rest of Saracens

    @tmh Carter tweaked something in the qf I went to and stopped kicking penalties, he clearly wasn’t right.

    If I where Wasps I’d be taking a breather on the big money contract for Beale, that sort of injury on a player like Beale who had such acceleration and movement makes him a different prospect. I hope they have a get-out clause as he hasn’t started yet.

    Another top notch moment – in the 7s commentary. Brazilian called Albuquerque scores. Commentator: “Hot dog, jumping frog. Albuquerque!” Marvellous 😆
