New Saracens chief executive Mark Thompson says Owen Farrell will be an 'enormous loss' when he leaves the club in the summer.
As he sits down with 60,000 others to watch Saracens on Saturday as the club's chief executive for the first time, a club legend will be running out for the 250th time.
"Both the skills he brings as a rugby player and as a leader on the pitch, but also in the day-to-day at the training ground. The group have experienced the highs of winning some of the game's biggest trophies, including a Premiership and Champions Cup double in 2018-19, as well as the low of suffering relegation to the Championship the following year for breaking Premiership Rugby's salary cap.
"Like all clubs we always have contingency plans for what our squad may or may not look like over the next 12, 24, 36 months," he said. "We're hugely excited about the core that we've got that we think are going to take us through the next five to seven years."Alongside Farrell's landmark appearance, Saracens women's captain Marlie Packer will win her 100th England cap against Italy in the Red Roses' Six Nations opener on Sunday.
Thompson spent two years at Burnley, overseeing the end of Sean Dyche's tenure and relegation to the Championship before Vincent Kompany took the club straight back up to the Premier League last season.
