Bruised and battered but Saracens far from beaten after salary cap scandal

Saracens might be a club who have suffered a few body blows recently but Munster fans arriving at Allianz Park tomorrow afternoon for the Champions Cup pool match will not find a squad who think they are on the canvas.

A 35-point deduction of Premiership points for salary cap irregularities, two losses in their opening three games in Europe and every other English team queueing up to stick the knife in. It has not been a great five weeks for the European champions.
