Leicester Tigers booked their place in the Anglo-Welsh Cup final after they overcame Saracens at Allianz Park, winning 32-10 on Saturday.

Tries from full-back George Worth, blindside flanker Luke Hamilton, loosehead prop Ellis Genge and fly-half Freddie Burns saw them to victory.

In reply Saracens could only record unconverted tries from scrum-half Henry Taylor and full-back Matt Gallagher as they went crashing out.
