Ashton believes Sarries ready to end Euro misery

Chris Ashton believes Saracens are “in a good place” after positioning themselves for another full-blown assault on major European silverware.

The Aviva Premiership title-holders and current league leaders will head to Lyon next month where they can target European Champions Cup final glory after knocking out fellow English heavyweights Wasps.

Ashton has been a European finalist before — with Northampton in 2011 and then Saracens three years later — and lost on both occasions, while no English club has conquered Europe since Wasps managed it nine years ago.
