Read our privacy policy La Rochelle will face Exeter in the Heineken Champions Cup semi-finals in Bordeaux after they clinically despatched three-time winners Saracens 24-10. Saracens got their first chance to build pressure in the home 22 after Owen Farrell kicked a penalty to within 10 metres. They could not turn that raid into points, but picked up three from their next entry after 22 minutes when Farrell kicked a penalty from in front of the posts after former Saracens man Will Skelton had infringed. Saracens finally managed to hit back with a try from a close-range tap penalty by replacement prop Eroni Mawi at the posts, which Farrell easily improved to cut the gap temporarily to 11 points.
