It is hard to judge differences in teams in each match. I’d suggest Sarries were well up for their showpiece game against us as we are for BG. Also any team can have an off day which both Saints and Quins had last weekend.
The biggest difference for me was defence and being aggressive at every contact, although we all want to see free flowing attacking rugby you’ve got to get defence right and this aspect of the game has been our Achilles heal for many a year. Stats had our D as one of the best this season but we still had the ability to let in too many easy tries.
Hopefully we’ve addressed that for this week and we see a better performance that leads to a win.
