Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall defended the substitutions which potentially cost his side a bonus point in their Heineken Cup win over Racing Metro.
Saracens led 20-3 at half-time but Racing were able to gain a foothold after the interval until a late surge swept the home side clear. "If you win 30-13 against a side like Racing, you have to be reasonably satisfied," McCall said. "We went through every emotion today. There was some outstanding stuff in the first half, Racing were chasing shadows at times. But it was frustrating at times in the second half. "Winning the match 4-0 in terms of points keeps us in control of the group. Nine points from the first two games is a pretty good return. "The important thing is to gain control of your group and we've done that, but now we have the small matter of Munster back to back."
