Saracens are heading up to collect their winners’ medals in an orderly fashion. It’s almost like they still can’t break ranks after that demonstration of discipline.
Now the captain, Brad Barritt, has his hands on the trophy and the smiles start to break. He hoists it above his head, and the gold ticker tape and champagne flies!
Maro Itoje is the official man of the match, which might irritate Leinster fans, given a couple of borderline tackles from the No 6 in the second half.
There were immense performances from so many in red today. George Kruis, Owen Farrell, Sean Maitland and Alex Lozowski were all exceptional, and Vincent Koch impressed off the bench.
