by Duty281 Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:40 pm

Well...never rule out Saracens! Another great finish.

by hugehandoff Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:40 pm

Super try. Great skills

by Geordie Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:43 pm

Aaah that doesnt look good for Nowell

by No 7&1/2 Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:43 pm

And that's the end of thinking about Nowell at 15 for the wc

by Geordie Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:43 pm

Saracens Wolfpack are at full aggression now.

by **RDW** Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:43 pm

Real shame to see Nowell injured

Yeah it looks really bad.

by **RDW** Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:45 pm

Bit more positive that he's walking off

by Geordie Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:46 pm

That looks like ligaments

by hugehandoff Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:46 pm

Nowell had been superb- big shame

I walked off the pitch in the Northumberland county cup final ...the found out I'd done my ACL and both meniscus...a proper job.

I wish he was being helped off, to save doing anything worse to that leg.

Momentum swings.....certainly with Sarries now. Huge test for Exeter

by Geordie Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:49 pm

I would say game over now .

by No 7&1/2 Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:50 pm

In this game GF!

by hugehandoff Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:50 pm

3 points in it and 7 minutes. Still a live game. Oops a pen to Sarries. Looking v tough for Exeter now

by Geordie Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:51 pm

Yeah Saracens are the masters from this position.

by Geordie Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:52 pm

Even despite that miss ha ha

by No 7&1/2 Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:52 pm

Awful kick that. And awful sports of the crowd there.

by **RDW** Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:52 pm

Has Farrell got his boots on the wrong way round?

by hugehandoff Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:53 pm

Maro now superb...needs to reduce his penalty count but what a player

by No 7&1/2 Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:54 pm

Great recovery like that kick. I'd have to say it's up between nowell and itoje for motm.

by Geordie Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:55 pm

Game over now

by **RDW** Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:56 pm

Don't think there can be much complaint from the Cheifs in the end - they were excellent for the first 60 couldn't keep it up.

Once Sarries got a sniff the momentum completely changed.

by Geordie Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:56 pm

Itoje has been clinical in the last 10 mins with some huge plays.

by Duty281 Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:56 pm

Sensational final quarter from Saracens. Intensity levels rocketed up and Exeter were powerless.

by Geordie Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:57 pm

Is that Chiefs fans booing the kicker.?

by No 7&1/2 Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:59 pm

There'll be a mixture of fans there GF. May not be just the chiefs. Fairer reflection with that try but itoje well deserved motm.

by Geordie Sat Jun 01, 2019 5:01 pm

Saracens just go up to levels that other teams cant cope with

by No 7&1/2 Sat Jun 01, 2019 5:10 pm

Still think we should give out a league leaders trophy ala league

RL does not have to contend with international windows.

by **LondonTiger** Sat Jun 01, 2019 5:32 pm

I thought Barnes was extremely generous to Chiefs, especially at the breakdown, all game.

by No 7&1/2 Sat Jun 01, 2019 5:46 pm

Just think it deserves to be acknowledged LT. Agree on the breakdown.

by mikey_dragon Sat Jun 01, 2019 6:07 pm

I missed it but this sound like quite the game. Saracens seemingly unstoppable again, their next coach has big boots to fill.

Probably a little while until Sarries have to replace McCall or Sanderson, unless England come calling after RWC.

by yappysnap Sun Jun 02, 2019 7:30 pm

Well done Sarries. Out on the 3 day bender as well so good lads.

by yappysnap Sun Jun 02, 2019 7:31 pm

Personally im looking forward to next season and the RWC perhapd mixing things up in the league again.
