Saracens captain Maro Itoje on Premier Sports: "It was our biggest win of the season. I loved the fight we showed and the unity. We moved on, things went wrong and we moved on. It was like playing in a hurricane.
"We had an honest look at where we were as a team and realise the gap to the team we want to be. This is a great result but we are not the finished article yet."

Saracens number eight Tom Willis: "We knew we were up against it tonight and we have been up and down this year but we rose to the occasion. They scored early in the second half but we managed to scrap our way through it.
"It was weird playing against my brother, an emotional one."
We thought it at the time but that Tom Willis try bang on half time did indeed prove to be massive. Saracens have not had to chase the game or scoring points in this testing second half.

The Saracens defence has been so good tonight. Toulouse need to come up with something different. A lot of their lack of fluency might rest on the shoulders of Blair Kinghorn who is not a natural 10.
Toulouse are badgering away into the Saracens 22 but there's then a big collision and they lose the ball. Then get it back. It's scruffy rugby at the moment in troublesome weather.
