'I have my philosophies': Referee Ben O'Keeffe reveals how he previews games

With the gap in salary caps between the different nations this is the reality of it all. I don’t blame Saracens but it’s a shame the champions cup is a shadow of what it used to be compared to back in the ‘Heineken Cup’ days.

“I think our players play really good rugby, I’m not sure of the stats, but I think we just made too many errors, really a lot of unforced errors that actually put a lot of pressure on the team,”

Yes a double edged sword, as that is also what makes them so dangerous to the most organized defences.

If they can find the right balance and execute to where theyre not just turning and offloading the ball straight into the oppositions arms, and dealing better with the disadvantage the scrum is, they could push for playing for a spot in the final this year. It really exciting that the Landers may even push past that in the years to come too.
