Schalk Brits has delighted in such measure this season, that The Daily Telegraph's Mick Cleary feels the South African shouldn't miss the Premiership final.
"There is, of course, far more to Saracens’ progress to Sunday’s Premiership play-off semi-final at Northampton than Brits’s mere presence. They are clever and rugged in equal measure. But Brits is the star turn, a formidable athlete, the motor that kick-starts so much, a trigger point for the new-wave Saracens who have emerged since adjusted law interpretations opened up the game.
"It would be a travesty if Brits, 29 tomorrow, were to be suspended for the final, should Saracens overcome Northampton. He made his gesture as he trudged from the field, groggy from a knock to the head. He took it upon himself after the final whistle to seek out the opposition fans and apologise. “It was not acceptable,” he said.
"Time for sanity and a sense of proportion to prevail. Brits has brought joy to Saracens fans and delight to neutrals. "
