South African hooker Schalk Brits scored an injury time try to help send Saracens into their first English Premiership rugby final with a 21-19 win over Northampton at Franklin's Gardens on Sunday.

The try needed the video referee's approval before Glen Jackson added the conversion.

Saracens will face Leicester in the Twickenham final on May 29.

Jackson also added the extras to earlier tries by full-back Alex Goode and wing Chris Wyles.

Tries in each half by props Soane Tonga'uiha and Brian Mujati, together with three penalties from Stephen Myler, looked to have done enough for Northampton.

Five penalties from Toby Flood booted defending champions Leicester into a sixth-successive final after a 15-6 win over Bath at Welford Road.

The scores were tied at 6-6 at half-time after Olly Barkley and Flood had kicked two penalties apiece.

But the Tigers took a stranglehold on the game after the interval and Flood added three further penalties.
