[@philsmith774]

Excellent editing of the highlights, really well done and thank you for not including the final score in the title like other channels do.

[@annefilippobertozzi7601]

Really, all highlights (not only rugby: also golf and tennis) should be like this one. Thanks.

[@whitebear5405]

Brilliant editing... huge pat on the back ❤

[@snowmotion9921]

From 6:35 Courtney Lawes is involved in 3 consecutive rucks, the first 2 rucks being 20m apart from each other... What a workhorse he is this is unbelievable.

[@saoirsedeltufo7436]

The commentator saying Theo Dan is hard to bring down immediately before Saints hold him up is very funny

[@darthbuzz1]

Don't think I've seen a game end like that. And all the Sarries were trying to do was bring down Dan. Funny. Quins fan and no one likes Saracens so well done Saints.

[@thebigbristolian]

Well technically they didn't bring him down, so it was spot on! 😊

[@jayfarthing]

This had me laughing out loud during the game, and it's still raising a grin on the highlights. Accidental comedic timing with the commentary :D

[@schnozz87]

The long arm of the Lawes got him 😂

[@StanWilks]

Fantastic highlights here. Thanks for extending them to twelve minutes. Definitely helps to understand the context of the game. #COYS

[@yootoooob]

URC, EPCR, 6N and every other league should take note of this edit .. thats how you edit !!!! great job

[@saoirsedeltufo7436]

This so much! 3 minutes is nowhere near good enough for highlights

[@harryjh94]

Is this the first time rugby highlights have been produced by someone who understands rugby?

[@uwanttono4012]

@harryjh94 Very well said!!

[@colinfarrelly2513]

Lawes is an absolute legend.

[@neilcarpenter2669]

Helluva competitive game best team won, shout out to all the players leaving English rugby or retiring but special appreciation for Lawes and Farrell who were tremendous once again, sometimes you don't know what you've got till you haven't anymore. I don't know what Lawes is eating but he's playing better than ever and is still the best blindside in England while i don't get the criticism of Farrell who is a world class player and like Lawes a fantastic human being they are both a credit to the sport but more importantly they are a credit to their family unlike the trolls who talk nonsense about players online. Ps This season has been the most entertaining i can remember i have really enjoyed the way that the majority of teams have played the game.

[@felixanderson6926]

Really happy for Saints, but what a player Farrell is. He doesn't deserve the shit he gets

[@mtb5778]

fantastic. holding up Dan at the end it was like the whole team came in to help!

[@pauljones3158]

Great game but Saints deserved the win and should go into win the final. However, what is pathetic is the usual Farrell hating comments on here. World class 10 forced out of club and country by nasty keyboard warriors who get a kick at slagging him off. Well they wont be able to do that anymore...so they will have to pick someone else to troll...

[@dazeng4633]

Forced out of club? If he's as soft as you suggest maybe that's a good thing.

[@MartinFromIowa]

As usual the amount of comments defending the honor of this wealthy athlete from the indignity of mean comments online outnumbers the comments attacking him. Faz is obviously hyper sensitive and wound too tight: look at how he responds in interviews to reasonable questions. But I guess he won’t be able to read the criticisms he’ll get next year

[@neilcarpenter2669]

Interesting to see saracens 12 offer to help laws up at 1.12 the maro pull his had back

[@jonnybaynham1689]

I wouldn't put much into that. It's definitely happened but don't think reasons would be petulant or personal

[@majabl]

And some at Saracens wonder why many don't like them....

@@majabl Saracens fan here, that act by Itoje was petulant. However, the grief Saints gave Daly all match doesn’t get close to this, it was grim

Can’t wait to see Italy again in six nations. They were so good this time round.

[@darthbuzz1]

@@Jack-qv5ru They were very good. Always been my second favorite, after England of course. But I think I prefer the Women's game these days.

[@28copland]

Mitchell running Gibson park hard for lions 9

[@dazeng4633]

There can be no argument. Mitchell is without doubt THE English 9. Lawes is still THE 6 as well. Come back Courtney!

[@jacobsandre85]

1:10 pure scumbag move from Itoje. Good sportsmanship from Tompkins offering Lawes a hand up but Maro decides "Nah bruh we can't be having that".

[@MrDoggie204]

Also like how vyn zyl pulls on Courtney's arm to make it look like he's lost his feet

[@Whoknows-zu2eb]

He comes across as a nice bloke off the field but on it he changes into an ejit sometimes. Rugby should be about things like this and should never lose that side of the game. Shame on Itoje for such a poor attitude.

[@okbutthenagain.9402]

Aww didums, a player didn't offer another player a hand off the field.... Nothing scumbag about it!, But you trying your usual keyboard warrior BS to try to paint a player is a scumbag move!

[@misterkunnyfunt]

the end of the game gets me, its just a question of who wants it more. saints swarming the ball where you can see sarries just standing around expecting someone else to clear out.

[@dteezle]

Sarries fan big congrats to the saints fully deserved. Hope Lawes wins his final game. Gutted Farrell couldn't be there but what a player. True leader and playmaker, one of the best 10s the english game has ever seen. My favourite player of all time, some of my best rugby memories watching him lead sarries to some incredible backs to the walls victories.

[@MsGorganzola]

Take a bow Saints. Fantastic win. Kudos to Farrell on that grubber kick. Love him or hate him, the guy is a great rugby player.

[@St3fanoCorsini]

Top highlights. Great match. Thanks.

[@cdoubleu8719]

As a neutral viewer this looked like one hell of an exciting game and what a finish. Thnx for this video!

[@JD-lz2uq]

Really didn’t like seeing the Saracens players intentionally moving during Fin Smiths kicks. So petty and it should be penalised with a penalty from the restart. I’m a neutral here, but it’s not in keeping with the spirit of the game

[@colmgeiran3476]

Great game. Well done Saints. Hoping my team learns from that penalty kicking strategy to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

[@danielcrews2884]

Final decent highlights. Far better than the few minutes crap they normally put out

[@sachinbangaru737]

Saints play an amazing brand of rugby

[@keithfairfield114]

That’s made my day and ❤

[@bobnunn4363]

Safacens got a ref that doesn't let too much of the 'clever' or 'accidental' stuff go at the breakdown.

[@tinchote]

4:09 Can't understand that penalty. The reason the Saracens' player lost footing was that the tackled player was not releasing the ball.

[@darthbuzz1]

Don't think I've seen a game end like that. Commentator said Theo Dan was hard to bring down and all the Sarries were trying to do was bring down Dan. Funny. Quins fan and no one likes Saracens so well done Saints.

anyone catch Itoje pull back Tomkins arm so he couldn't help Lawes up? chill out mate he's on the opposite team he's not killed your parents

[@thecuttingsark5094]

Lineouts can go past the 15m?

[@matthew3078]

...always have?

[@iansimpson2088]

16 minute C Lawes is on the ground and a Sarries player offers him a hand up, M Itoje then pulls the players hand away, massive lack of respect.

[@PhillipAlcock]

Saracens outplayed at the ruck…

[@Robbbbbm]

some of these sarries players acting like pricks on the pitch especially on the 2nd pen

[@jimrattley1372]

I thought the opposition had to stand ten metres away at a penalty. Or does that not apply to Farrell and co. ?

[@stefangrossman382]

Yeah, for some reason they’ve decided to ignore that, as well as defenders moving during a kick. World Rugby needs to enforce the existing laws, consistently, not change them.

[@jimrattley1372]

Well said

[@saoirsedeltufo7436]

At least it didn't matter in this game, unlike the ref bottling it in the Italy France game

[@jimrattley1372]

Indeed

[@matthew3078]

I didn’t watch live, but highlights make it look like Sarries poor discipline was the main issue, is that fair?

[@somersetfan1]

They got mullered in the scrum too. Their last-ditch tackling kept them in the game and they took their opportunities. Northampton were on top, but their accuracy was off. They also made a load of breaks where the support was missing, which was odd for them. Fin Smith was cool as usual, but the rest of the team looked stressy. Also Farrell was nursing a hamstring. He could barely run and wasn't kicking. Any other game and he wouldn't have played.

[@dougclark9921]

great game, I was getting hammered in the garden so couldn't watch

[@paulorobertovaz7588]

😇

[@JohnKelly-oi1xz]

All the Saracens cheats moving in front of Finn while he was kicking penalties!

[@warrust]

"so difficult to bring down" and that turned out to be their downfall

[@guyportersfootstep4553]

No final for Sarries. Christmas has come early. 😂

[@g.ammirati1134]

that jamie george try was a thing of beauty

[@garethleeming539]

The ref was from Northampton!

[@Whoknows-zu2eb]

Err, no he wasn't. That pen against Lawes shows it, was clearly on his feet and only lost his balance because the Sarries player didn't release.

[@garethleeming539]

Northampton will get stuffed in the final as they won't have the ref in their pocket!

[@bashab3098]

It’s taken over a decade but I’ve actually seen a Farrell line break 😮

[@jep1912]

So good to see Farrell not get to the final.

[@gawieswart4388]

He's a prick of note😝

[@charlespc8855]

Kinda a scum bag comment considering his long service to England. He’s one of their greatest players that’s a fact just because he was a hybrid 10/12 who lacked pace but he managed games got to World Cup final and over 100 caps I don’t blame him leaving when fans like you with a fraction of his talent pipe these shite house comments. Now I’m more of a Ford\Smith fan but I do respect what a man like Farrell has done and had he had more of a carrying game and pace he’d have excelled more at 12 than he already did which was world class anyway.

[@saoirsedeltufo7436]

My favourite Saints-Sarries moment is from the 2014 final - Farrell scored a try, kicked the ball into the crowd in celebration and injured his hamstring, then they checked the TMO and it was ruled out! Farrell just injured himself for absolutely nothing

[@pauljones3158]

Yep usual Farrell hating comments on here. World class 10 forced out of club and country by nasty individuals like you...

[@PhillipAlcock]

Why do Saracens need Farrell kicking when they have Daly

[@peterbreen3039]

So after finally getting caught for blatant and industrial scale cheating, what did Salarycens achieve ? 1 and just 1 PL title. So appears that the multiple trophies had nothing to do with ‘ will to win’ or bringing Wolves to work ( true) It was simply about cheating. Saracens pathetic cheering at mistakes of others has badly damaged Rugby in England. Fingers crossed that with the ring leader Farrell off to France ( who will be stunned by his lack of pace, vision or left hand pass) we might get back to playing rugby as sportsman. We will see a final with 2 genuine rugby clubs and probably see a sell out.

[@dteezle]

1 where did you get that from? 6 titles, was at the stadium for 3 of them so remember them distinctly remember those ones, absolutely brilliant days out! Farrell one of the best 10s the english game has ever seen bows out a hero, he's a true competitor.
