Packer Farewell Gives Saracens Crushing PWR Final Redemption

Saracens have their first Premiership Women’s Rugby title of the PWR era after turning Marlie Packer’s farewell into a ruthless 52-14 final win over Trailfinders Women at Twickenham Stoop.

The official PWR match report confirmed Saracens scored 26 unanswered first-half points, with Julia Omokhuale, Packer twice and Sydney Gregson crossing before the interval. The competition fixture page listed the final score as 52-14.

Saracens Turn Pressure Into A Rout

Trailfinders had enough early territory to make the final awkward, but their failure to finish from close range became the hinge point. Saracens survived, then punished every loose detail with a level of edge missing from last year’s final defeat.

  • Final score: Saracens 52-14 Trailfinders Women
  • Venue: Twickenham Stoop
  • Attendance: 8,099
  • Key scorers: Marlie Packer, Jess Breach, Zoe Harrison

Jess Breach’s try immediately after half-time killed any thought of a reset. Alysha Corrigan and Harrison added further scores, before Maya Montiel and Abi Burton gave Trailfinders deserved late reward.

The result also gives fresh context to our PWR final preview: Trailfinders arrived with momentum, but Saracens’ big-game execution was brutally cleaner.

For Packer, the double was more than a scoreline note. It turned her last Saracens appearance into the closing act of a title-winning dynasty reboot. Harrison’s control from fly-half made the margin feel inevitable long before the final whistle.
