LONDON (Reuters) - Saracens overwhelmed Bath with a three-try first-half blitz and a supreme display of aggressive, destructive rugby to secure a 28-16 victory in the English Premiership final at Twickenham on Saturday.

In a game billed as a showdown between Bath’s ambitious attack and Saracens’ pragmatic, squeezing game it was the London club’s approach that proved decisive as they dominated the first half to lead 25-3 with tries by Owen Farrell, Jamie George and Chris Wyles.
