Saracens Dominate in Rugby Champions Cup

by Rexswimguy:

The annual European Rugby Champions Cup came to its exciting conclusion last week, with Saracens F.C. kicking their way to a 21-9 championship win over Racing 92.

It was the first Champions Cup in ten years without a try, i.e. decided totally by penalty kicks.  And, the great Owen Farrell of Saracens was the man with the golden foot, kicking a perfect seven out of seven.  What could you do to top that?

The European rugby season marks a major annual competition today with the Champions Cup final.  And, it's the top club competition of the year there, so be attentive!  (I don't believe, unfortunately, there is any broadcast or live streaming of this event available in the U.S.)  Watch for the exciting result.

... plus Juan Imhoff of Racing 92 whose team pulled the upset over perennial champion RC Toulon in the quarter-finals.  Can they go the rest of the way today?
