Saracens’ director of rugby Mark McCall is to take “a short break” from his role for medical reasons, the club has announced. No further details have been disclosed, with the club requesting that McCall’s privacy be respected.
The former Ireland international has been in charge at Saracens for over a decade, guiding the club to five league titles and three European Champions Cups. They currently sit second in the Premiership, eight points behind leaders Leicester ahead of Sunday’s visit to Wasps, and could yet qualify for the knockout stage of the European Challenge Cup.
