• Saracens 57-33 Wasps
• Farrell kicks 27 points to back up Saracens’ try spree

Normal service has been resumed. Saracens are back in the Premiership final. The mischievous had wondered whether they were a fading force, surrendering their Premiership title last season and suffering an unprecedented slump in the middle of this, but they have played their way back into form. Wasps were unable to cope.

The visitors managed five tries, some spectacular in a predictably exhilarating festival of running rugby, but they were 20-0 down in the first quarter and 30-5 down at the start of the second half, unable to deal with a Saracens masterclass. None was more masterful than Owen Farrell, who kicked 11 from 11 for a haul of 27 points, a record for a play-off. It was good news all round for Eddie Jones.

Almost a year to the day since the 50th match of their rivalry – the longest in the Open era – Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic collided gloriously again under a beating sun in Rome, and the Spaniard was stretched to the limit to preserve his aura on clay a week before the French Open.

If Nadal wins his eighth Italian Open title on Sunday he will be back at No1 in the world; if he loses, the absent Roger Federer will stay at the top until 24 June – two days before the Wimbledon seedings are announced.
