Saracens seal double after remarkable comeback

Mark McCall's side rallied to dethrone Leinster in the European Champions Cup final at St James' Park three weeks ago and they roared back to retain their Premiership title at a sun-soaked Twickenham on Saturday too. Exeter were winning the physical battle and Henry Slade's try gave them breathing space, but Liam Williams, Sean Matland and George crossed to give never-say-die Sarries a fifth domestic title. The Chiefs fans were in fine voice before the game started and they were in full cry after George Kruis made a misjudgement from the kick-off and White pounced to score in the first minute when the ball went loose. Farrell failed to convert but was on target with a penalty to put Sarries in front and the holders stretched their lead to six points when Spencer outfoxed Exeter with a dummy before reaching out to score.
