OWEN Farrell hailed the resolve of his Saracens side as they returned to the top of the English game by beating Sale Sharks 35-25 to win their first Premiership title since 2019.
In a see-saw thriller at Twickenham, Saracens pulled away in the final quarter with tries by Ivan van Zyl and Elliot Daly securing the north London club’s sixth title to go level with Wasps and Bath.
The club’s salary cap breach and subsequent season in the Championship was followed by a gut wrenching last-minute loss to Leicester Tigers in last year’s final but Farrell was delighted that they went one better this time around.
He said: “It wasn’t our best performance of the season and it was proper tense finals rugby. We had to stay in the game when it looked like we weren’t at our best for the most part. For us to be able to stick in and close out a tough final makes me immensely proud.
“I want to continue getting the best out of myself and the best out of the group, this team works hard at doing that. We had our setbacks in recent years, losing the final and everything that went on before that but to see how strong this club is is fantastic. We hope to be in the big dance again as we want to be here every year.
