Experienced Aussie No.10 arrives on short-term deal
Much-travelled fly-half Craig McMullen has joined Saracens on a month-long deal.
The Sarries have been rocked by injuries to Glen Jackson and Brent Russell, with the latter suffering a broken collarbone.
This has forced Saracens director of rugby Alan Gaffney to recruit McMullen, who ACT Brumbies, Leicester, ASM Clermont Auvergne, Harlequins and Leeds, as cover - with the Australian likely to be in Sunday's squad to face Gloucester.

Gaffney told the club's official website: "Gordon Ross played very well at the weekend against Wasps but with the two injuries ruling out Jackson and Russell, we are light of cover at fly-half so Craig will be joining us for a month.
"He's a player I know well and he has a lot of experience in both the Super 14 and the Premiership.
"We'd been speaking to him for a few days and he joined in with training this morning to be part of the preparations for Sunday's game against Gloucester at Vicarage Road."
