And Tompkins, who started at inside centre for Saracens, said: "It's an unbelievable win.

"They're a tough team, it's a great crowd and it's a really hard place to come so we're delighted with that.

"To get as many points as we did shows a good intent in our attack and shows we are doing the right things.

"The score is definitely flattering, it was a lot closer than that and it was really tight.
