Double European Gold for Bosch and Wyles

Americas veteran backs Marcelo Bosch and Chris Wyles have claimed back-to-back European titles. Both players backed up their 2016 Champions Cup title by winning again in 2017. Saracens downed Clermont on Saturday adding to their 2016 title over Racing 92.

In the 2016 final Wyles played on the left wing and Bosch was a replacement. This time around Bosch joined Wyles in the starting lineup, playing at outside center.

Wyles and Bosch have been regular performers for Saracens all season. The same is true over past years. This season has seen the sustained development of Titi Lamositele. The USA prop was on the bench for the final. Looking on from the stands was Juan Figallo.

All four may be involved in the Aviva Premiership Semi Finals next weekend. Saracens will play an away Semi Final to the Exeter Chiefs on Saturday, May 20. Wasps host the Leicester Tigers in the second Semi Final. The Final will be on Saturday May 21. Bosch, Wyles and Figallo were all involved in winning the 2016 Final against Exeter.
