Joe Simmonds was faultless from the kicking tee and has not missed any of his last 33 kicks at goal
Wasps fly-half Umaga then found a hole 20m out created by Dan Robson's pass and Zach Kibirige's run and went under the posts after half an hour. The Chiefs won their own penalty in the final moments and 23-year-old skipper Simmonds kicked his fourth three-pointer to seal the double and become the youngest man to captain a side to the Premiership title.Exeter's victory ensured they will go down in English rugby history as just the fourth club to win domestic and European titles in the same season.
Some argue Exeter could have won more titles had Saracens not had as many star players for their final meetings with the Chiefs in 2016, 2018 and 2019 - Sarries were relegated this year after breaching the Premiership's salary cap rules and overspending on players' wages.
"Whatever would have happened today, if we hadn't have won it would have certainly taken the shine off that a little bit. What this allows us to do is to genuinely stop and pause and look back a little bit over a very good season over two very good competitions and allow us to actually now spend some time reflecting on how important the work these guys have done has been to the club.
