In the Sunday match Sarries showed what it takes to be runaway leaders year after year. A thoroughly talented and dogged side like Gloucester-Hartpury just couldn’t keep them from adding to their harvest of tries. Poppy Cleall is like a one-woman-band.

Deborah Fleming and Holly Aitchison become the first of the established England 7s stars to opt for a return to 15s. And who do they join? Saracens, of course.
