Absolutely no atmosphere at all...nowhere near enough people to fill twickenham. Not even sky sports can hype it up enough to make it remotely interesting...
 
Saracens whitewash and good for it. Too big a stadium for this though, if you think this is bad you should hear it when Edinburgh play at Murrayfield when there are under 5000 at it.
 
Saw bits of it and agree that it looked wrong to have Twickenham that empty and devoid of atmosphere. Does anyone know what the actual attendance was. Must be better places this could have been staged at
 
The venues were pre determined Im pretty sure by the Heineken Cup organisers so in effect this was a neutral venue albeit (with Clermonts away record comparative to their home record) it would have felt like a home game to Sarries. I guess they had other places they could hold it but chose to give every fan who wanted to a chance to attend. Attendance was approx 27,000 it seems looking at whats been reported. Hopefully Cardiff will be full for the final!
 
Great performance by Saracens though and good to see some of the England players really developing into top class players. Looks good for the future. Ashton even seems to have got his act together, never seen him work so hard.

Hes actually had a pretty decent season. Daftly, he got picked for England last year when totally out of form, then got dropped when his form for Saracens had returned early this year
 
Used to go regular[ish] when they were at Vicarage Road but only been the once this season to Allianz Park when they blew away Connacht... Club works really hard at looking after their fanbase... Didn't see a great deal yesterday as grandson had taken control of the telly... Showing some good form which hopefully see's them taking the win in the final...
