Connacht head coach Pete Wilkins said they need to match Saracens’ physicality if they are to get their Champions Cup campaign back on track in north London at lunchtime this Saturday.

Wilkins said there has been a fallout from their 41-5 loss to Bordeaux-Bègles at Sportsground on the opening weekend and his men are itching to get back out and show what they can do.
