Leicester Tigers Win Guinness Premiership Final at Twickenham
A last-gasp try from Dan Hipkiss wrenched the Guinness Premiership from Saracens’ grasp in a thrilling 33-27 final win on Saturday.
In an enthralling match, the Tigers ended up giving their opporition a lesson in how to win a tournament. Saracens took the lead with four minutes to go, a result of concerted pressure from the men in black. Going on the momentum of the game, you would have thought it was the winning score, but Brendan Venter’s men made a fatal error of thinking the game was done and dusted.

Saracens Beat Saints In Semi Final Thriller
Saracens stunned Northampton Saints 21-19 in their Guinness Premiership semi-final clash at Franklin’s Gardens to book a place in this season’s finale.
Tries from outstanding fullback Alex Goode, winger Chris Wyles and hooker Schalk Brits and a man of the match performance from fly-half Glen Jackson (Wearing His Asics Testimonial Rugby Boots) including a superb late conversion inspired an upset win and carried Saracens into their first ever Premiership final. Tries in either half from props Soane Tonga’uiha and Brian Mujati had put Saints on course for victory but they had no answer to Brits’ late score and were guilty of failing to orchestrate a last-gasp drop goal opportunity for fly-half Stephen Myler.
