Lewington messed up a great chance for Sarries against Racing.
Lots of other moments in the game but that was a big one in my opinion.

Exeter looked strong against Toulouse but I thought that losing Rory Arnold to injury had an negative impact on Toulouse during a period where they were looking superior.

Racing vs Exeter should be a good final.

I'm drinking at Sandy Park this weekend, and since my ST holding sibs live 100m from the suspension bridge, I will join with all 5 Griffin sibs, numerousf nephews and nieces and - reluctantly - I must support Chiefs.

Perhaps I have misunderstood your post, but... coronavirus?

There's more on Sandy Park than the stadium, and the drink may well be a coffee as I use a guest pass to David Lloyd.

An English Prem double in the Finals for me.

This could be an issue:

Several players at European Champions Cup finalists Racing 92 have tested positive for Covid-19 with the final in Bristol against Exeter just over two weeks away.

Racing’s Top14 fixture at La Rochelle has had to be postponed but as the players who have been tested positive are already in isolation, from what I understand, they’ll be free to play in the final on the 17th. Clearly, some elite sportsmen, in both football and rugby have a disregard for the health and safety regulations against catching the coronavirus. It must be the « it can’t happen to us » syndrome.

But they won't be able to train together/much while in isolation...?

And that will only end a couple of days before the Final...
