Saracens emerged victorious against Racing Metro in the Champions Cup final in Lyon on Saturday in a game devoid of any real attacking rugby.
It was not a game for the ages as poor conditions made mistakes frequent... as in every time someone attempted to pass the ball further than four feet.
Saracens won the game 21-9 through the boot of the extremely likeable chap that is Owen Farrell.
Before he goes getting a big head on us, let's just leave this moment from earlier in the season right here...

All joking aside, Farrell was superb from the boot and Saracens were full value for their historic win yesterday.
One man who put his body, and more accurately his head on the line during the game, was number eight Billy Vunipola.
Big Billy ended up with one of the nastier cuts on his face we've seen but that didn't seem to bother him once the result was achieved.

It does look remarkably better in the photo below, but that could be because it's further away... actually that's definitely the reason.
