Gloucester have rediscovered their fight according to Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall. The Cherry and Whites were defeated but not disgraced at Allianz Park and McCall was impressed with their tenacity. He was delighted with his side's victory and believes Gloucester are a entirely different prospect to last season. He said: "Gloucester fought unbelievably hard, and I don't think we saw that kind of fight from them last year. You could see the resolve in their team. "It was an unbelievably physical game, so we are delighted to have come away with the win. "We got off to a slow start. We were 13-3 down, and they came out of the blocks pretty well. "We showed a bit of resilience, a bit of resolve to get ourselves back into the game. "The charge down gave us some momentum but Some of rugby after that period was a little better. We had them under a fair bit of pressure at the end to chase that fourth, bonus-point try so it's a little bit disappointed we didn't get that. "But I thought we bounced back really well." The victory saw Saracens climb back to second in the Premiership table, just three points behind reigning champions Northampton Saints.
