Same again for Sarries

Saracens Director of Rugby Mark McCall has gone for the same again, naming an unchanged starting XV to face the Ospreys on Friday evening (KO 8.00pm).

Among the big names set to run out at the Liberty Stadium are England stars Matt Stevens, Steve Borthwick, Charlie Hodgson and David Strettle and Springbok Schalk Brits.

Springbok legend John Smit returns to the bench for Saracens, their only change in the 23, and alongside him on the bench is Munster and Ireland legend Peter Stringer.
