Saracens celebrate with a song after winning the Champions Cup in Edinburgh

All the reaction from Murrayfield where Saracens defended their Champions Cup title with a win over Clermont on Saturday.

The victory means Saracens become the fourth side in the history of Europe to win back-to-back titles, with the feat previously achieved by Leicester Tigers, Leinster and Toulon.

It also takes Saracens to 18 consecutive wins in Europe, going unbeaten throughout this season's campaign after lifting the 2016 title.

Chris Ashton opened the scoring in Edinburgh, becoming Europe's most prolific try-scorer with his 37th in the competition after getting on the end of a clever grubber from Alex Goode.

Graham Simmons spoke with the Toulon-bound winger, and there were also interviews with Owen Farrell, Mark McCall and Clermont's Nick Abendanon.
