SARACENS Director of Rugby Alan Gaffney was just happy to get their second win of the season over Worcester yesterday in the Guinness Premiership.

Sarries were beaten twice by the Warriors last season and Gaffney knew they would pose a threat. The Men in Black struggled to get into gear in the first half but a first try for Fabio Ongaro eased them to a 19-6 win.

"We came into the match expecting a tough afternoon especially when you look at the results between the sides over the past seasons," he said.

"That's 2-2 now after they beat us twice last year and now we've levelled it up.

"Not too many sides really put them away and they are a strong side with some talented players. But we're pleased to take the four points and keep the pressure on the top two sides."
