Saracens won’t need motivation, says coach

SARACENS face a crucial Heineken Cup clash against Ulster in Belfast tonight, with rugby director Steve Diamond admitting: “We don’t need to motivate the players for this game.”

Pool Four leaders Saracens are three points clear of Ulster, thanks to a stunning victory over French giants Biarritz in their European opener, and success at Ravenhill would strengthen hopes of an automatic quarter-final place.

Ulster though, are ferociously tough opponents to crack on home soil - as previous Heineken Cup victims like Toulouse, Stade Francais, Leicester and Wasps can testify - so Diamond knows exactly what his Saracens’ side can expect.
