Jake White thanked for 23-6 win over Worcester
Eddie Jones has intimated he will try to bring South Africa's World Cup-winning coach Jake White into Saracens' setup.
White worked with the squad in the week, paying particular attention to defence, and Jones' men then went on to secure a 23-6 victory over Worcester on Sunday.
Jones, who is a close friend of the 2007 Webb Ellis trophy winner, revealed he had already set in motion a deal for White to return to help out the Vicarage Road side early in 2009.
Input
Jones said: "Jake is a top coach and a guy I've known a while and I'm confident of getting him back here in January or February.
"He came in and wanted us to change one or two things with our defence. He's a good guy to have as a consultant, I know Toulon have been calling him so I'll be interested to see if he goes there.
"He has already sent me five text messages asking 'who coached the defence this week?' so I know he'll be interested in doing it again.
"It was a very good performance from us and I'm really pleased with our whole team, I thought everybody contributed out there and it was important to get a win."
Frustration
After failing to break down a Saracens defence that had conceded three tries in each of its last two games Worcester's director of rugby Mike Ruddock insisted his side had only themselves to blame.
"It was Christmas come early for Saracens in the first half," said Ruddock. "We let them off the hook by giving away silly penalties.
"It's something we talked about and we had planned to eradicate for this game after we conceded 17 penalties last week, but it hasn't happened.
"We got ourselves back into the game but then Sam's [Tuitupou] sin-bin meant we were chasing them and it turned out to be an eight-point penalty because they scored the try.
"It didn't help us, but we were in the game for 70 minutes and it was very frustrating not to capitalise on that.
"Indiscipline is something that has crept back into our game and we can't let it happen because it is very costly."
