Last season Sarries got the better of Baxter’s men on...

Following the lead of head coach Rob Baxter, who often coins that very phrase many times over the course of a season, Armand knows there is no bigger test than facing the Londoners in competitive battle.
Mark McCall’s side have proved in recent years they are the stand-out force in Northern Hemisphere club rugby, winning not only back-to-back Premiership crowns, but...
