‘Every part of our club is in good shape’

When Schalk Brits flies past you driving a spray-painted old banger with four large, loud rugby players as passengers, you realise this isn’t your average club.

Most sides have their team-bonding methods, but few do it as openly as Saracens.

They are a club that divide opinion, but it certainly works. Trips to Munich’s Oktoberfest and post-match war cries — which were practised under former boss, Brendan Venter — are not run of the mill for most sides.
