    FT: Leinster 17-25 Saracens

    It will be the winners of Clermont and Racing's all-French quarter-final next for Saracens. Owen Farrell, still serving a five-match ban, won't be back for it.

    But this team has enought diamonds and grit to cope quite well without him.

    Until next time....

    FT: Leinster 17-25 Saracens

    Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall speaking to BT Sport: "My team never cease to amaze me. They have been through so many experiences as a group and we saw that out there. We showed the cohesion and unity out there to see it through. We needed to win as many little victories as we could today and put them in places they don't have to go too often.

    "This is what we have dreamed about in a difficult testing challenging year."

    FT: Leinster 17-25 Saracens

    Saracens captain Brad Barritt: "This team has been built through hard work, adverstiy and resilience and I think that Saracens spirit shone through.

    "With and without the ball we won the contacts. The prospect of having another week together was the biggest thing, we were fighting for something tangible."

    Saracens flanker Michael Rhodes speaking to BT Sport: "A lot of people did not give us much of a chance. So to come up here and win after a difficult year was massive. From minute one things just felt good for us out there.

    "We knew they were going to come out firing in the second half. We had to weather the storm a bit."

  5. 'Ruthless and relentless'published at 16:59 British Summer Time 19 September 2020

    FT: Leinster 17-25 Saracens

    Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    An outstanding performance from an outstanding team. we questioned whether they would have the legs against the Leinster machine. It would be completely wrong to single out one player because, as a unit, they did everything right.

    Ruthless and relentless. Leinster were 5 or 6% under par and Saracens were 100% at it.

    It doesn't matter where you sit with what has happened in Saracens' history. This, as a standalone performance, has been epic.

    Leinster 17-22 Saracens

    Another monster Saracens scrum. Leinster crumpling skywards under pressure, binds breaking all over the shop.

    Penalty advantage.

    Sarries scrum-half Aled Davies slings a reverse pass out to the backs to waste time with a meandering move that gains no ground and uses up the clock.

    Back for the kick.

    Leinster 17-22 Saracens

    Saracens are chopping more timber than a lumberjack on triple espressos.

    Leinster go wide. And Jack Conan fumbles into touch...

    Is that the game gone with it?

  12. Postpublished at 76 mins

    Leinster 17-22 Saracens

    Leinster with the ball inside their own 22m.

    They are going to have to build from way, way back.

    That's two kicks at goal that you would expect to take at least one from. They are not regular kickers and the pressure has got to them.

    Leinster 17-22 Saracens

    Saracens still cannot find that knock-out blow.

    Daly's ambitious shot drifts wide and the game is still alive....

    Leinster 17-22 Saracens

    The scrum is twisting, Leinster struggling...Penalty black!

    Elliot Daly is lining it up.

    45m-ish and on the angle....

  16. Replacementpublished at 73 mins

    Leinster 17-22 Saracens

    Michael Rhodes is taking an early cut from a Herculean shift. Calum Clark is on in his place.

  17. Postpublished at 73 mins

    Leinster 17-22 Saracens

    The margins are wafer thin.

    Jordan Larmour makes a half break and has men with gas outside him.

    But his chicken wing offload to Josh van der Flier drips forward.

  18. Missed penaltypublished at 71 mins

    Leinster 17-22 Saracens

    Nope. That is set out right and never looks like doing enough in the opposite direction to get over.

    Nine minutes to go. Five points in it. How'd you like those maths?

  19. Postpublished at 70 mins

    Leinster 17-22 Saracens

    Alex Goode puts up an old-school up-and-under into the Leinster 22m. Alex Lewington cannot claim, knocking on in the process.

    Rory O'Loughlin attempts to run it from deep. Error.

    Jamie George and Maro Itoje combine to tie things up and force the penalty.

    Is this kickable? The angle is tricky. Alex Goode is going to go for it. Eight points the gap if it drops...

  20. Replacementspublished at 69 mins

    Leinster 17-22 Saracens

    Richard Barrington is coming on to relieve Mako Vunipola, who is only just back from a back injury.

    He is not impressed. He wants to see this out.

    Aled Davies is on in place of Richard Wigglesworth at nine.
