Three wins from three after a summer overhaul, maximum points and the only 100% record in the Premiership – Saracens is a happy place to be at the moment. Against Exeter they did not quite rack up the kind of score you thought they might after a dominant first-half performance but Mark McCall could ask for little more from his side’s opening matches as Saracens thrive in life after Owen Farrell and the Vunipola brothers.
No one quite sums up how Saracens have restored a fun factor to their squad than Alex Lozowski. He endured a miserable time last season with a serious knee injury but such high-profile departures have meant he has stepped forward in terms of influence and he has been rewarded with a place at England training on Monday.
