SARACENS boss Mark McCall reckons Owen Farrell is in the form of his life after marking his 250th club appearance with this statement win.
Farrell (right) scored 12 points from the boot, and overshadowed Marcus Smith in the battle of the 10s, on his landmark day.
He was the centre of attention from the off when he led Saracens out with his children Tommy and Freddie before the game and he stayed centre stage throughout.
Farrell is heading to France when this season finishes - and so heading entirely out of England reckoning as things stand.
But the fly-half looked bang on the money here after his decision to step back from Test rugby as Saracens ran in eight tries in humiliating their London rivals. Hooker Theo Dan and wing Sean Maitland both nabbed doubles as Saracens issued a warning to the rest of the Premiership and jumped up to second place.
