Saracens have won four of the past five Premiership titlesPremiership champions Saracens have confirmed they will not be contesting their points deduction and fine for breaching the league's salary cap. "We confirm our commitment to the salary cap, and the underlying principle of a level playing field, and will continue to work transparently with Premiership Rugby in this regard." Saracens previously claimed they "readily comply" with salary cap rules and were able to spend above the £7m cap because of the high proportion - almost 60% - of home-grown players in their squad. The club is in compliance with the salary cap for this season and will not have to sell players. A director will be appointed to the board to oversee a new governance regime, designed to prevent the club breaching salary cap rules again.
