LONDON :Saracens won their sixth title and first in four years when they eventually overpowered a spirited Sale to triumph 35-25 in a superb English Premiership final at a sun-drenched Twickenham on Saturday.
Saracens are Premiership champions for the sixth time after a 35-25 final win over Sale Sharks at Twickenham. Twelve months after losing the decider against Leicester, Saracens went one better and ended a four-year title drought. Ad Owen Farrell kicked Sarries into the lead with an early penalty, before George Ford responded in kind to level the scores in the eighth minute.
English club rugby has had better seasons but there was nothing wrong with this compelling finale. For the first time since 2019, Saracens are domestic champions and able to smile again after their well-publicised salary cap travails and painful last-ditch defeat last year. They also had the contest’s dominant character in the shape of Owen Farrell, who once again bent a big game to his considerable will.
Max Malins will play his final game for Saracens this weekend in a Premiership title decider that he has described as “unfinished business”.

Rewind to the start of the season and the feeling was that if the Ospreys were to reach the Heineken Champions Cup knockout stage, the region’s Minor Miracles Department might have to work overtime.
