Saracens Face Toulouse After Leicester Humiliation
8 Jan
Summary
- Saracens aim to bounce back after a disappointing loss to Leicester.
- Director of rugby Mark McCall called for a strong on-field response.
- A formidable Toulouse side awaits Saracens in their next match.

Saracens will face French giants Toulouse this Sunday, aiming to rebound from a significant setback in their pursuit of a top-four finish in the Premiership. The team suffered a 36-28 defeat against Leicester last Sunday, conceding four tries in the first half. This loss has prompted a stern review from director of rugby Mark McCall, who described the performance as "incredibly disappointing" and emotionally unprepared.
McCall has challenged his squad to channel their frustrations into their performance on the field, stating that a thorough review of the Leicester match has taken place. He emphasized the need for the team to "do their talking on the pitch" rather than dwelling on the disappointment. The upcoming fixture presents a stern test against a Toulouse side renowned for its European success.
Toulouse, a powerhouse in European rugby with a record six Champions Cup titles, is expected to field a strong lineup. Key players like Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack are anticipated to feature at a sold-out StoneX Stadium, setting the stage for a highly anticipated clash against a determined Saracens outfit seeking to regain their form.
