Northampton vs Saracens | semi-final | REVIEW

Northampton vs Saracens was the first Gallagher Premiership final this weekend.
In a brilliant game Northampton won 22-20 to book their spot at Twickenham.
But what did this game tell us about both sides?

I thought up until the first quarter "here we go" Saracens have turned up and the big game experience is going to be a deciding factor. I actually thought Saints were going to do a Leinster with several rested and back from injury and not having a game for weeks.
Anyhow all credit to Saints, great defence and ultimately the scrum pumped Saracens and there ability to attack and convert puts them in a good place.

Great game , two quality teams going at it. Saints deservedly winners.

[@TheSward94]

Difference between the two teams = the scrum. Saints dominated after 20mins

I thought Owen Farrell had a great game and part of that was that his kicking leg was sore so he kicked very little !!!! Much better running with the ball

[@CharlieMain-q9y]

Am sure we will lose Vesty to england. He has done a great job

[@nath4nt]

If you see the connection he has with the players, I think he wants to build for more success. I might be wrong though.

Saints looking good! My favourite team in England after Exeter

I did wonder that too mate seemed a bit weird

[@jamesrice1187]

Was Owen Farrell carrying an injury? He seemed subdued and he took no kicks.

[@jmurphy9657]

He didnt kick vs Bristol either, nursing something in the right foot maybe.

[@simonthompson9001]

Tore his quad start of the week apparently
Still kicked and set up the 2 tries we scored though

[@Gilescowdemdem]

Scrum, sainrs defence and saints back line felt like the big diffeences for me. Although technically excellent Saracens back line didn't threaten with much pace or innovation compared to Saints.
