Saracens’ director of rugby Mark McCall says the squad has faced up honestly to their “incredibly disappointing” loss to Leicester and are ready to focus on their next big test against Toulouse. McCall admitted the team was “emotionally unready” in their previous game, taking responsibility and urging players to let their performances on the field speak instead of words.
The clash with French giants Toulouse, who are six-time Champions Cup winners, comes after the French side rested many stars in their recent league match. McCall has also drawn lessons from Toulouse’s youth-focused strategy, noting how building a team from within takes time and patience—but pays off in the long run.
Saracens hope to bounce back with a strong showing at StoneX Stadium and continue developing their exciting young squad while chasing another title.
