- Semi-final: Racing 92 19-15 Saracens
- Russell and Vakatawa set up Juan Imhoff’s crucial late try
Juan Imhoff’s try five minutes from time after Finn Russell had broken free of his shackles eliminated Saracens, the defiant holders, who found the loss of their captain, Brad Barritt, just after the hour one blow too many. Until the centre left the field after two players fell on him, Sarries had been in control and were six points ahead.
Without him, a team that was already without 10 players who started the season at the club as well as the suspended Owen Farrell, had to reshuffle a back division that had contained Russell and the France centre Virimi Vakatawa, who combined to create Imhoff’s match-winning try.
