“Some played in the Championship Final (against Bristol) a few years ago which was massive.
"But in terms of the quality of players coming here, everyone knows what they’re going to bring.
"The level they have played at for a number of seasons, Saracens are one of the biggest clubs in Europe – the world – so we’re all excited by it.”

“By winning the first five games in a short season, we’re automatically involved in the top end battle,” he said.
“It makes for a great game. The expectation for them is to come down to the Champ’, win all their games and go straight back up.
“But I think they’ve found so far they’re not going to have it all their own way. It is a bit of a free shot for us.”
