Sean Maitland is set to be rewarded with a new contract after his controversial double helped Saracens book their place at Twickenham.
The winger was lucky not to be sent off for taking out George Furbank in the 39th second of Saturday’s victory over Northampton.
He went on to score twice in a commanding 38-15 win, with Saracens’ dominant defence limiting Northampton to just three points in the first half.
Maitland is out of contract at the end of the season and England winger Anthony Watson has been lined up as a potential replacement.
The 34-year-old has been linked with a move back to Scotland but head coach Mark McCall confirmed a new deal has been signed and could be announced this week. With Maitland remaining at the forefront of Saracens’ plans, McCall faces a back-three selection dilemma for the final after Elliot Daly impressed from the bench.
