Saracens finally agree terms with Scotland centre Duncan Taylor
By PA
Scotland international centre Duncan Taylor has agreed a contract extension with Saracens. The Gallagher Premiership club said that 32-year-old Taylor’s deal is for the 2022-23 season.
Saracens kick off their Premiership campaign against Harlequins on September 17.
Taylor has won 28 caps, making his Scotland debut against Samoa in 2013.
“Duncan is a hugely-respected member of our group and is a wonderful ambassador for this club,” Saracens rugby director Mark McCall told the club’s official website.
“He continues to be a central part of our squad and we are delighted that he will be with us for another year.”
Meanwhile Taylor said: “I’m delighted to be staying. This club is a special place and I can’t wait to get going again for what is a hugely exciting season.”
Taylor joined the Men in Black as a dual-registered player a decade ago and has contributed immensely to the club’s on-field success in that period.
His contributions were recognised back in 2016 when he was awarded the Players’ Player of the Season award – the year McCall’s side won the prestigious domestic and European double – before becoming part of the illustrious Saracens 100 Club a year later.

Think we have to accept we have been on the slide for a while now.Still interesting to see the repeated media pieces about the myth of the ABs slipping-I would say slipped past tense.In part don’t we have to give credit for the improvement of other nations particularly Ireland?Isnt that good for the game?Are we beginning to feel the impact of losing the Boks from Super rugby and maybe soon TRC?I would agree we are also ran right now so will be interesting to see how we progress-assuming we do!Isnt that part of sport though to be in improvement mode?Back to the stats though I think the Boks were under 60% leading into 2019?Now with the focus on the RWC does it matter so much what you are doing between tournaments?You just get through your group(remembering the ABs qualified 2nd in 2023)and then you have 3 matches to win the thing.
Go to commentsThe ABs have more than enough back line guys so don’t see issue there. Just the balance at center and feel time for Rieko to sit out.Forwards- balance still not right. Front row ok but miss Codie. But still ok. Locks- you now need to start s a tall timber at middle of lineout- Darry is the right guy. Then move Sititi to 8, move Ardie to 7 and then move Vaai to blindside. He can become the closest to PSdT . Then have proper bench as this is not a demotion but key to dominating last 30 minutes- Patrick, Ofa etc are golden here. Get the balance right between starters and finishers
