Saracens new coach Wayne Shelford has given three new signings their Zurich Premiership 1st team debuts, namely Andy Goode, Johnny Marsters and Craig Yandell who returns to the Saracens fold after a 3 year absence.

Sarries fans will also see the return of Thomas Castaignede who returns after a long term injury, unfortunately Thomas replaces the very capable Adryan Winnan who stunned the Saracens faithful with some magical performances last season.

Perhaps at last Saracens can finally say that they have strength in depth, with only a couple of injuries remaining  the team are finally fully fit and raring to go.....So watch out Bristol, the Mighty Men in Black are coming to spoil your party!
