A number of firsts: Glos-Pury’s first victory The first final to involve two clubs outside London. The first final to be played on the home ground of one of the finalists, a feature not to be repeated. But how to be sure? Choose HQ? Vickii Cornborough did suggest it six years ago. The first time
Never before have I seen two head coaches so wracked with anguish. The tension was pretty unbearable for the neutrals – any of them present, apart from the media? – for Susie Appleby and Alex Austerberry it seemed like a choice between heaven and hell.

Allianz Premier 15s Final – Saracens v Exeter Chiefs Sixways, Worcester This was a very different Sarries side from the one that let in 50 points at Sandy Park recently. For one thing, they had Marlie Packer and Poppy Cleall firing on all cylinders, and few sides in the world know how to deal with

Head Coach Susie Appleby is relishing the challenge that the next four weeks of Allianz Premier 15s fixtures will bring for her Exeter Chiefs side. Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Worcester Warriors (19-7) and DMP Sharks (31-6), the latter secured with tries from Garnet Mackinder (2,) Laura Delgado, Kate Zackary and Patricia Garcia, Appleby still
Exeter Chiefs Women head coach Susie Appleby insists her side have ‘nothing to lose’ ahead of tomorrow’s Allianz Premier 15s clash away to table-topping Harlequins.
