Mark McCall hails "special" Saracens following win over Leicester Tigers

Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall has described his squad as "special" following Saturday's win over Leicester Tigers.

Sarries returned to second place in the Aviva Premiership table as they came from behind to earn a 22-6 triumph at Allianz Park.

While admitting that his side struggled in attack during the final 30 minutes of the game, McCall believes that they showed great character to see off the Tigers.

"There is a little bit of frustration in the dressing room because we scored our third try after 49 minutes, and not much happened after that from an attacking point of view," he is quoted as saying by the Northamptonshire Telegraph. "But for me, the character, fight and energy we showed in the last 30 minutes to keep making tackles, it's pretty special.

"We had a little purple patch when we scored three tries in nine minutes and these players keep on pitching up and finding ways to win. Overall, we are pretty pleased."

Saracens are back in action on April 18 when they make the trip to Clermont Auvergne in the European Champions Cup semi-finals.
