I think it was shown that we were happy to defend the lead by Farrell kicking into the centre of the Bath 22. Happy to defend in their half as opposed to build from a set piece.

How can anyone support an organisation that considers this song to be a positive contribution to human culture?
Got that wrong forgot Saints first
Should start season on -10 points because of their various **** songs.

Not exactly a classic final.
Shows how important big game experience is.

Webber cannot throw and I don't know why Ford Snr seems to think James is worthy of starting ahead of Auterac, the guy is worse in every aspect of the game and is buggering off next year as well. What does Ford see in him?

You're being unkind to PJ there I think, I'm far from his biggest fan, but he's performed well for us on the whole.
I agree early season but as it's gone on he's been noticeably worse while Auterac a has simply looked better in every way.

He is a solid LH but that is all IMO.

PJ gets penalised on a regular basis at scrum time therefore despite his other attributes he is often a liability.

Burgess and Attwood played well, but other than that the forward pack looked clueless most of the time.
I suppose it shouldn't be that much of a suprise, though, given that I didn't really expect us to make the final at the beginning of the season anyway.
The result showed why, the team hasn't been together long enough to not have a bit of a hiccup in a game like this.

From a Saracens fan, just like to congratulate Bath on the season and playing some of the best fluid rugby I've seen in the Premiership for a little while. Also credit for digging in in the second half and outscoring Saracens.
Having said that, so glad the boys managed to pull off a win. The nearly-men tag was getting alarmingly close, but belief in the style of rugby and the wolfpack mentality has shown it's ability. Big night ahead for them!

Don't think Attwood or Burgess could really have been expected to any more than they did given the lack of shape when Bath had the ball.
Should mention Leroy too...

I guess, wasn't them at their most suffocating though... felt it was as much down to them not coping under the pressure as it was Sarries forcing it.
We've been shut down by them before, and it wasn't the same as what happened today.

From a neutral point of view I'm glad sarries won for no other reason than to shut the idiots on BT sport ip

George try was a direct result of Sarries defence putting them under pressure...

Okay then.
We're not these two teams those "rumored" to have well breached the salary cap? What happened to that investigation? Was Blatter involved in it as the investigator?!!!!

It's still on going...
I'm not sure how I feel about the salary cap in general on one hand it's suppose to keep everyone on an equal playing field but there are ways to bend the rules (American players have been known to take "pay cuts" to play in a better overall side). Also we're not on a equal playing field at the highest level (European rugby) as the French teams have no cap so something really need to be looked. Keeping the integrity of the competition by not allowing teams to buy titles but on equal measure not tying a hand behind their back at the next level.

It's been delayed.
"Some" clubs wanted it to be cancelled all together, but then others wanted it to go on.
I believe Quins, Sale and Wasps were the main ones wanting the investigation to go ahead - eventually Sale and Quins were happy to postpone it for a season, but Wasps stuck to their guns and forced it to be done in, as above, the next few months.

surely that's the same thing though mate?
or are you saying Sarries won it because the day got to bath?
Sarries won because they were better and didn't let bath in it simple
