Injured Exeter Chiefs and England man Jack Nowell, speaking to BT Sport:
"It was very disappointing for us - the second game of the season and two losses, it's not the start we wanted.
"Fair play to Saracens, they're the team we want to be like.
"There were a few sloppy moments from us - their line-speed put us under pressure and they kept us in the right areas of the field."

Saracens flanker Jackson Wray speaking to BT Sport:
"They love to run it down here, sometimes they kicked, sometimes they ran - they caught us a few times but we got back on the front foot.
"Coming down here and getting a win is something not many people have done - it's a massive statement from us."
