"Although this is our 13th Premiership semi-final since 2010, which is a record we can be tremendously proud of, it feels like the first one," McCall said.

"There's that excitement around the place, that kind of anticipation and I think thats really good.

"This feels like the first one in a while for three reasons one, because there are people where it's going to be the last one with us, there are people where it's their first one for us and probably just as a result of some of the challenges and tests that we've been through as a group this year."

Northampton completed a league double over Saracens this season, winning 18-12 at StoneX Stadium in December and 41-30 at Franklin's Gardens in March.

Bath face Sale at the Rec in the other semi-final on Saturday, with the final at Twickenham on 8 June.
