"We're playing against a team this week who we lost to twice last year. That's just a fact really and they deservedly beat us in both of those games so we're going to have to be a lot better this year than we were last year."
"He's had a brilliant 15 months really, slightly on the outside of that England squad probably at the start of last year. And he's worked really hard at his game and really hard on his fitness and footwork, McCall said. There are so many things that tie up to what you see on a Saturday, to be honest, and he's improved everything."
Saracens sit top of the Premiership after two bonus-point wins over Newcastle Red Bulls and Bristol Bears, following a sixth-place finish and missed play-offs last season. Mark McCall praised the team's attitude and mentality in the opening games while warning that the season is long and the squad must cope with adversity. Saracens prepare to face Harlequins at The Stoop, a side that beat Saracens twice last year but has lost its opening two fixtures this term. England back-row Tom Willis was player of the match in both victories and has improved his fitness, footwork and carrying.
