Sean Maitland, Saracens’ two-try semi-final match winner, has been rewarded with a new contract.
The Scotland wing was braced for the end of his seven-year spell in north London but will this week be confirmed as staying for an extended period.
Maitland, 34, rode his luck to steer Sarries into a May 27 Twickenham final against Sale, fortunate to avoid a first minute card. Having escaped any punishment for clattering George Furbank in the air, leaving the Northampton star in need of lengthy medical attention, he scored the first two tries to effectively kill off Saints.
