Mark McCall remains upbeat after Harlequins defeat

Mark McCall insists that he saw positives in Saracens' defeat to Harlequins.

Saracens coach Mark McCall has said that he saw positives in his team's 24-19 defeat to Harlequins this afternoon.

McCall, whose side were coming off the back of a big win at Sale last week, admits that Saracens were 'disappointing' in defence and failed to capitalise when opportunities were presented to them.

"Quins are a good side," he told Sky Sports News. "There's aspects of our performance that we're disappointed with and there were aspects which were good and we'll take forward.

"I think we were disappointed with how we defended. We lost a lot of collisions. But there were some positives. The last 30 minutes, when we were in a bit of a corner, we were outstanding. Credit to Quins, who held us out.

"We're disappointed, but there's enough for us to hang our hat on going forward."

Saracens are now six points behind Harlequins in the Aviva Premiership.
