With the 2021/22 campaign now complete, they are departing and here are some numbers which show how they have left the Saracens shirt in a better place.

Director of Rugby Mark McCall thanked them all for their efforts in North London.

“One of the most difficult things about the end of the season is that inevitably you say farewell to some great players but more importantly great people.

We would like to thank all of our players, who will not be with us next season, for everything they have done for our club.

They will be greatly missed but the memories they have helped create will live on.”
