Aviva Premiership Final - Leicester vs Saracens ESPN

Just thought I'd open this thread for people watching the game.
They're building it up big time, been on since 1:30.
I expect Leicester to edge it like they did last year, but it will be close.
I'm sure revenge for last year will be on the minds of Saracens. Hopefully it's not going to be at the standard that a lot of the premiership games have been this year.

In fairness last years final was one of the games of the season. I'm hoping for more of the same today

Good start by Saracens and a yellow card for Leicester already

the first of three huge games today - this, magners final.... and some soccer game...I hope the one in the middle is the most exciting!

James Short try, set up by Goode and Brits. Brilliant try.

16-6 Saracens

Great try there. Britz is everywhere this game.

That try might inject a bit of life into the game, make Leicester come out and play a bit. Hamilton should have done better I think.

Superb finish from Short though. Anyone know if there's any chance of him being called up to the England squad in future? Looked good any time I've seen him.

Poor game so far. Waiting for the Leicester onslaught but seems very laboured so far. Eh.....penalty to Leicester.....looks like its gonna be 15-19 to Saracens.

Edit : Tobias Gerald Albert Lieven Flood misses it. Never really rated him TBH. Sexton and O 'Gara are miles ahead of him.

Still 12-19

The crowd are awfully quiet.

How many free kicks have Saracens given away for early engagement? At least three so far

cruiserweight

Not a great game, but what a tense finish

I'll be sick if Leicester do it again.

Edit : Well done Saracens, what a defence in the 6 minutes of injury time.

cruiserweight

Congratulations Saracens, they deserve to win the game just for that defence at the end of the game

Only just watched the highlights.... that was some unreal finish. Leicester camped out 5 or 6 yards for 10 or 12 mins at the end - brilliantly tense, about 30 phases!
The celebrations and reactions of the saracens players and fans were fantastic, big change of course form 12months ago.
