- Saracens 17-17 Bath
- Visitors must now sweat on outcome of Sale v Worcester match
Saracens are about to vanish from the Premiership’s radar for a while but they can now do so secure in the knowledge they did not disappear without a murmur. A characteristically defiant fightback from 17-3 down in abysmal conditions in north London not only earned them a deserved draw in their final pre-relegation league game but also left Bath’s play-off chances up in the air pending the outcome of Sale’s rescheduled game on Wednesday.
Never before have two teams concluded their regular season with such little idea when their next game is going to be. Such is the thick cloud of uncertainty currently hanging over professional rugby it could conceivably be next September before Saracens play another league fixture, while Bath must sweat over whether they will meet Exeter in a semi-final at Sandy Park on Saturday or miss out entirely.
