- Saracens face Bath in final Premiership game on Sunday
- Date for start of Championship is yet to be decided
As Saracens made for the airport on Saturday night after losing to a late Racing 92 try in Paris, Exeter were booking their ticket to the Champions Cup final and a tilt at the league and European double that their Premiership rivals achieved last year.
It was like an abdication with Saracens bound for exile in the Championship, although a start date has not been finalised. They do not know when they will play again after their Premiership campaign ends on Sunday and will not be involved in the Champions Cup for at least two years while Exeter, the club who were most outspoken in their determination to see Sarries punished for breaches of the salary cap, will be ready for the coronation.
