The Premiership champions, Saracens, have been handed a 35-point deduction and fined £5.3m after they were found to have breached salary cap regulations, according to numerous reports.
Sarries have received the biggest sanction in the history of the Premiership, after arrangements between their multi-millionaire owner Nigel Wray and star players including Owen Farrell were scrutinised.
The sanction that has been imposed on Saracens Rugby Club by the panel is:
- a total fine of £5,360,272.31
- and a total deduction of 35 league points.
The domestic salary cap aims to level the playing field for all clubs in the league and now stands at £7m plus two marquee players.
Saracens will almost certainly they will appeal the sanction, which would delay the imposition of the sentence.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
