RORY McILROY admits sunning himself in Dubai through January has him ready to turn up the heat on his rivals from the get-go this year.

The winner of tonight's Battle of Britain will seal home advantage in the Champions Cup playoffs.

Maro Itoje and Owen Farrell feature in Sarries’ squad as they bid to snap Warriors’ unbeaten run.

Flanker Darge said: “You look through their teamsheet and see star quality players. So it's a tough challenge. You also know they're going to be coming at set-piece time with that intensity.

“We can use playing at home to our advantage but there's a lot on the line. We have to step our game up and it's two top quality sides.
