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
Saracens v Exeter Chiefs This is the fifth season of the Prem 15s and the fourth final. The 2019-20 season came to an unwelcome halt after Round 12 for reasons we may possibly have forgotten. And for once it is not the pair of perennial finalists on show; Saracens are safely through, but Quins had
Saracens v Gloucester-Hartpury Two barely recognisable squads gave the lie to the term ’reserve weekend’. The unofficial international between Wales and the USA Falcons deprived the head coaches of a host of players.

Before kick-off both sides stood in memory of Siobhan
It was a nail biting opener for the 2021-22 Premier 15s season here at Twyford Avenue, Wasps sadly just missing out on the win by 6 points against London rivals Saracens. Wasps opened the game on fire and looked vicious with MacDonald sniping through and getting an early run away through the Saracens defence. But
The Allianz Premier 15s Final 2021 Saracens v Harlequins Quins achieved their ultimate dream by defeating Saracens in the most thrilling advertisement for the women’s game imaginable. On a perfect summer’s day in front of a crowd and television cameras, Quins had to overcome the loss of their iconic captain Rachael Burford after only eight
Now that the head coaches have announced their squads for the final, there is no need for us to change our minds about the result. It will be a third consecutive win for Saracens. By training, coaches have to focus on the plusses in their previews and ignore the minuses. So Gerard Mullen makes no
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. There are times when she seems to be an entire team. Her offloads are
