"We sat there watching them lift trophy after trophy and couldn't do much about it," says Quins and England scrum-half Danny Care.

"They are the best team in the league, the team you have to beat with the players and the squad they have got.

"With the respect we have for them, their rugby-playing ability and the players they have got, you have to be at the top of your game and be in that peak zone to pitch up and win.

"When Quins play Sarries, it is still the biggest game of the season."
