‘We’re firmly on next week’ - Saracens eye the double

Billy Vunipola set his sights on the double after Saracens were crowned champions of Europe with a 21-9 victory over Racing 92 in the Champions Cup final in Lyon.

England outhalf Owen Farrell kicked seven penalties as the nine-year wait for an English winner of the tournament came to an end with Saracens becoming the first team to complete an unbeaten European campaign.

They face Leicester in the Aviva Premiership semi-finals on Saturday and Vunipola has already turned his mind to the defence of their domestic crown.

“It’s awesome, we’re in that club now. We’ve managed to pull it off and win this trophy. It’s a massive honour,” Vunipola told Sky Sports.

“We move on to next week now, that’s the mindset. We’re firmly on next week. We’ll enjoy tonight, but after that we’re on to next week.

“I’m just thankful that I did it with such good people. It’s such a joy. We have awesome people and our experience pulled us through.

“The match was a real arm-wrestle. We made less mistakes. Credit to the front five, it was a massive effort from them. And credit to Owen Farrell for holding his nerve.”
