Gloucester-Hartpury laid down a dominant second-half performance to beat Saracens and win their third Premiership Women's Rugby title in a row.

Playing at their home ground, Sarries took a narrow lead in at the break through scores from Jess Breach and Lotte Sharp, either side of a penalty try.

First-half tries from Kate Williams, Emma Sing and Mia Venner were added to by scores from forwards Maud Muir, Neve Jones and co-captain Natasha 'Mo' Hunt as the Circus overpowered and shut out their opponents after the break.

The result gives Gloucester-Hartpury boss Sean Lynn the perfect send-off as he departs the club to take on his role with the Wales national team.
