Will Greenwood wraps up the weekend's action as Saracens lift the Champions Cup but Harlequins miss out on silverware...
Saracens were crowned champions of Europe after beating Racing 92 in the Champions Cup final in Lyon on Saturday.
In the Challenge Cup final Harlequins fell short to Jake White's Montpellier, suffocated by a gameplan they knew would be coming their way but still were unable to stop. The sturdy TOP14 scrum and hard-running loose forwards proved the undoing of Quins as they said farewell to Italy-bound coach Conor O'Shea.
Meanwhile, Wasps' new signing Kurtley Beale has undergone successful knee surgery and will be out for up to six months.
The Wallaby utility back landed awkwardly after challenging for a high ball in the opening seconds of the Waratahs' Super Rugby victory over the Bulls in Sydney on Sunday.
There were initial fears that the 27-year-old could be sidelined for up to a year, jeopardising his Wasps commitment, but surgeons said the prognosis was positive.
