Six Nations 2012: Schalk Brits says Saracens are bursting with English pride after their boys' Six Nations heroics Charlie Hodgson, Owen Farrell, Brad Barritt, Mauritz Botha and David Strettle have all done exceptionally well as starters and Matt Stevens off the bench. The boys have been on fire and that leaves the rest of the squad feeling good. We have also been delighted to see Andy Farrell get a chance coaching at Test level. It reflects very well on the club. We played pretty well against a good Leicester team last up and were possibly a bit unlucky to lose but we accept we had a pretty untidy half-hour at Worcester which cost us dearly and we all learned from that defeat, especially some of our younger players. Saracens, who are second behind leaders Harlequins with Saints in third, ran into an inspired Northampton at Franklin's Gardens in November and got turned over 30-8 but "revenge" is a wasted emotion according to Brits. It seems a long time ago. Northampton were outstanding on the day but then again they are a good side with quality players who will test the best teams when they are song," says Brits, who missed that game. If you start talking about revenge for a return game you will very quickly go down the wrong path in your preparations. The circumstances are very different, quite a few of the players involved are different because they are missing players as well. We have simply been preparing to produce the very best performance we can this week. It's been a great week actually despite those couple of defeats. Everybody has been buzzing. These are the weeks and months of the season you live for, that make the slog worthwhile. There are play-off places to be gained, European Cup quarter-finals on the horizon, Premiership titles to defend.
