Gaffney: Bristol defeat is not an option

Alan Gaffney has challenged his players to end their disappointing Guinness Premiership season with a bang against Bristol on Saturday.

His players will want to send off him and the retiring Richard Hill on a high note while topping the 50 point mark with victory.

Saracens, who today confirmed the departures of lock Iain Fullarton (unattached) and props Kevin Yates (unattached) and Aaron Liffchak (London Welsh), have won 10 league games and lost 11 this season and Gaffney wants a win to level things up.

"The Premiership is difficult, just look at Leicester," said Gaffney. "One of the sides who continually make the top four could miss it this year.

"We were still a contender three games ago from making that. We're not that far away. We'll finish eighth this time but we've just got to win this weekend to finish in the 50s, which would probably mean it hasn't been too bad a season.

"An 11th win is what we've got to go for - we can't not win on the weekend."
