Leicester Tigers reach double figures in Premiership Rugby Final appearances, but also a first since 2013 as they meet Saracens in the domestic season’s showpiece.

As the top two in the Gallagher Premiership table at the end of a 26-round season, Tigers and Saracens go head to head in the Final for a third time, with each club taking one win from encounters at Twickenham in 2010 and ’11.

Dan Cole, a starter when Tigers last won the title at Twickenham in 2013 and making his 290th first-team appearance today, said: “You learn over time and appreciate how hard it is just to win games in the Premiership let alone get to Finals.

“We will never have this same set of players again, maybe not have the same opportunities again. You impress on the guys that you hope Leicester have many more finals but you have to appreciate this for what it is on the day.

“There have been a lot of changes at the club on and off the field, and I think to get to the Final it is a nice way of showing all the hard work that everyone has put in.”

Leicester have lost just one of their last five matches at Twickenham in Premiership action, against Bath in ‘The Clash’ in April 2017.

Saracens have won on their last eight visits since defeat by Northampton in the 2014 Final. This is their eighth Premiership Final appearance.

Sarries captain Owen Farrell said: “We’ve got an opportunity to do something special and we’re really looking forward to it.

“We’re up against a fantastic side who we respect, so we have had to make sure our preparation has been right. The past is the past and we want to make sure that all of the exciting stuff is in front of us.”

Referee Wayne Barnes takes charge of his 10th Premiership Final.

Great reception from the fans for the Tigers team arrival.
