Saracens see off Harlequins to reach PWR final

Saracens have reached the Premiership Women's Rugby final by defeating Harlequins 32-24 in a thrilling semi-final at StoneX Stadium.

England wing Jess Breach, who returned to the Saracens side last week after sustaining a hip injury in November, was the standout player.

The 27-year-old's try, alongside two from Alysha Corrigan and tries from Marlie Packer and May Campbell, were enough to put the home side into the final on 16 March.

Gloucester-Hartpury face Bristol Bears in the other semi-final on Sunday, live on the BBC Red Button, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website from 15:00 GMT.

Breach told TNT Sports after the match: "Last year was really horrible to lose in the semi-final [against Bristol Bears].

"To come out here, on our home turf, and win - we really fought for the win.

"It's been a long season for me to get back on the pitch; I feel like I really performed back to the best of my ability today and I'm just so glad it was in a semi-final that helped the team get to a final."

Saracens finished second in the PWR table, while Harlequins were one place behind in third.

Quins opened the scoring inside two minutes through Spain full-back Claudia Pena, but were 20-12 down by half-time.

A smart set-play by the visitors in the second half led to a try for Lauren Torley, cutting the gap to three points with 20 minutes to go.

But tries from Corrigan and Campbell, plus a conversion from Zoe Harrison, put Saracens back in control, before Babalwa Latsha grabbed a late try for Quins.
