Saracens Fly Out To Bermuda For Training Camp
A 44-man travelling squad of Saracens have flown out to Bermuda for the club’s Atlantic Rugby Cup pre-season training camp.
The north Londoners departed for their six-day tour of Bermuda on Sunday. The pre-season tour will include three-day training camp and a matchup against the USA Islanders on Thursday [August 10th] in Bermuda for the Atlantic Rugby Cup.
Saracens returning British & Irish Lions contingent of Owen Farrell, Jamie George, George Kruis, Maro Itoje, Mako Vunipola and Liam Williams, will all be on the tour, but unavailable for selection for the Atlantic Rugby Cup match-up.
Summer recruits Calum Clark, Dominic Day, Kieran Longbottom, Will Skelton and Christopher Tolofua will also be in the touring party as will Academy players Ben Earl, Matt Gallagher, Nick Isiekwe, Max Malins, Dom Morris and Jack Nay.
Speaking ahead of the tour Saracens director of rugby, Mark McCall said: “This is the first time this pre-season we’ve all been together, with every player involved.
“Bermuda is a fantastic place for us to prepare for what will be another demanding season and the tour gives us the opportunity to integrate some of our newer faces into the group – we’re really looking forward to the week ahead.”
