GALLAGHER PREMIERSHIP RUGBY FINAL <strong>2022</strong><br />

[ SARACENS DIRECTOR OF RUGBY ]<br />

MARK<br />

McCALL<br />

It’s massively exciting for everyone at the club to be back at<br />

Twickenham today for the <strong>Gallagher</strong> <strong>Premiership</strong> <strong>Rugby</strong> Final.<br />

Looking back over the season there have been a number of<br />

highlights, not least The Showdown 2 at Tottenham Hotspur<br />

Stadium which was a huge event for the whole club and it was<br />

a very proud moment to see us run out at such an iconic venue.<br />

It has been a huge group effort all season to get us to this<br />

point and I am incredibly grateful to all our players and staff for<br />

all of their efforts and for making this year so enjoyable.<br />

We face a Leicester Tigers team today who have had a superb<br />

season, and huge credit must go to Steve Borthwick and his<br />

coaching team. Steve was a great captain for our club and it is<br />

no surprise that he is having such a huge impact as a coach.<br />

We are also bidding farewell to a number of players this<br />

afternoon and I would like to thank them for everything they<br />

have done for the club.<br />

Tim Swinson, Richard Barrington, Vincent Koch, Elliott<br />

Obatoyinbo, Sean Reffell, Janco Venter, Tom Mills and Charlie<br />

Watson have all been fantastic for us and we wish them and<br />

their families well for the future.<br />

The support that we have received this season from our fans<br />

has been remarkable and we cannot thank them enough. There<br />

is something special building at StoneX Stadium and we hope<br />

to give our supporters another reason to cheer today as we<br />

head towards the break in the summer.<br />

We have had a very enjoyable week and can’t wait to get out<br />

there today for this fantastic occasion.<br />

All the best!<br />
