Saracens dominated the end-of-season Aviva Premiership Rugby Awards where Alex Goode was crowned Player of the Season.
Goode was handed the honour on Thursday night with the award recognising his impressive form at fullback for the newly crowned Champions Cup winners Saracens.
"Alex Goode has been one of the Aviva Premiership's most consistent performers for a number of seasons but in this campaign has been hugely influential in Saracens' success and has produced some of the best form of his career," said Phil Winstanley, rugby director at Premiership Rugby. "Alex's explosive pace, quick feet, game management, kicking game and exceptional distribution skills have been the platform for a number of Saracens' victories this season.
"Alex is a product of the very successful Saracens academy and, along with several other players in this current squad, is an example of the quality which can be produced by investment in resources and support staff for young players."
The awards night was dominated by the side that finished the regular season top of the Premiership and while their attention will be focused on Saturday's semifinal against Leicester, they scooped other silverware with Maro Itoje and coach Mark McCall also recognised.
Itoje was crowned Land Rover Discovery of the Season in recognition of a breakthrough campaign where he made his England debut and was named European Player of the Year.
McCall was named Guinness Director of Rugby of the Season while Green Flag Forward of the Season went to Wasps flanker George Smith.
