Saracens director of rugby Brendan Venter has warned he players that they will be shown the door if they don't perform.

Venter, who took over the reins at Vicarage Road from Eddie Jones at the end of the season, is demanding immediate results from his new-look squad.

A busy summer has seen 12 players depart and 12 arrive the club - and the former Springbok centre is determined to see Sarries end their 11-year wait for silverware.

"The players know that if they don't put in the effort they will not stay at Saracens very long. They know exactly what we want to achieve," Venter told the London Evening Standard.

"I can't do anything about the baggage of the past. When I took the job I explained that I expected to get results and this is not a three-year or five-year project."
