England prop says Sarries need to raise their level again to beat Racing and secure a last shot at glory before relegation
Mako Vunipola spends part of his leisure time watching reruns of old Saracens matches. One of his favourites is the 2016 European Champions Cup final against Racing 92, Saturday’s semi-final opponents in Paris, but a clue to his club’s ability to rise to an occasion lies in his choice of games he has been a part of.
“I watch matches we lost so I can remember what I felt that day,” said the England prop, who despite playing his first match in five weeks last Saturday had a prominent role in the quarter-final victory over Leinster in Dublin that ended the Irish side’s 25-match winning run.
