Where to start after the fact? On May 13th 2017 Saracens joined good company in retaining the Champions Cup, they did so in one of the best finals for a few years. I’ve been a Saracens season ticket holder since 2009, and no, I’m not the only one as so many other Premiership rugby fans like to throw out there. […]
Halfway through writing this I’ve come back to the start, it’s going to be more an account of a great weekend than a match report – you have been warned!

A tough European Champions Cup draw for Saracens was a heaven sent opportunity for me to combine 3 of my favourite things – My lovely daughter Alexandra, Paris and Rugby! Perfect! When the dates were announced the whole Easter weekend was given as a possibility so I booked Eurostar to travel on Good Friday, returning on the Monday. I did […]
