Saracens stormed to the top of the Premiership Women's Rugby table with a commanding 45-7 victory over Exeter Chiefs at Allianz Park. The hosts ran in seven tries, with England internationals Poppy Cleall, Marlie Packer, and Kelsey Clifford all crossing the whitewash in a dominant display.

Cleall's brace in the first 28 minutes set the tone, while Canadians Alysha Corrigan and Julia Omokhuale added to the tally in the second half. Tori Sellors, an England Under-20s scrum-half, also scored as Saracens outclassed their third-placed opponents. Exeter's Hope Rogers scored a late consolation try in the 84th minute to prevent a shutout.

The victory saw Saracens leapfrog Gloucester-Hartpury on points difference, despite having played an extra game. The defending champions are currently on their bye week, making Saracens' position at the summit even more impressive as the PWR season reaches its midpoint.
