Saracens have been handed an enormous 35-point deduction and £5m fine by Premiership Rugby (PRL) for breaking salary cap rules.
Rugby fans in social media weren’t in a forgiving mood.

Maybe Itoje & the rest of the Saracens boys should’ve worn those runners up medals after all.

Probably the only ones they’re getting this season.
Something tells me Saracens will find a way to sort this… pic.twitter.com/V7QxOK1Xnw

Unlucky… over paying your players and then having to pay that bill… Was it worth it all?

To be best in Europe over the last few seasons?
To now be officially labeled cheats?
Makes me wonder who else plays the game this way? 👀 https://t.co/PRFWMZaGle
Having been under investigation for breaching the salary cap since April, Saracens were today handed a hefty punishment. #PremRugby pic.twitter.com/UCW2iG8VeQ

You know what, I’m glad that @premrugby have taken decisive action over @Saracens it’s rediculous that they have been able to get away with it for so long! Hopefully there will be a level playing field! #saracens
