King: It’s a proud day for players

ALEX King feels the rare and memorable triumph in Saracens‘ backyard will ensure Gloucester carry on the upwardly mobile curve towards a real title challenge..

The attack coach insisted: “If you want to be a top-four team you’ve got to beat top-four teams.

We’re not the finished article but it’s a step forward. Players like achieving milestones and not many teams come here and win. It’s a proud day for the players, the club, the supporters and we want to build on that going into the second half of the season. I’m immensely proud of the boys.”

Saracens boss Mark McCall revealed England back Elliot Daly was taken off with a “tight groin” and praised the visitors insisting:

“Gloucester deserve credit as they were tremendous. You can see a club that’s growing, great spirit, togetherness that they demonstrated the whole way through the game.

“It was just the overall appetite for work, and I think they shaded us in the game.”
