JACKSON Wray was a happy man after helping Saracens see off Harlequins at Wembley at the weekend.

Saracens triumphed 40-19 against their London rivals.

And Wray was thrilled to have again taken to the pitch at such an iconic stadium.

“I’m from a football background so to be able to play at Wembley is always really special for me,” said the former King John School pupil.

“It’s something I’ve been lucky enough to do five or six times and it’s great because it’s somewhere I never expected to be able to play only a few years ago.

“Wembley hasn’t been on the rugby union radar for that long but it’s now one of the fixtures I most look forward to playing in every season.”

Saracens’ victory also made Wray’s afternoon more enjoyable as the Londoners secured a play-off spot with a comprehensive victory.

And Wray was delighted by the manner of the win.

“It’s always a really tough game against Quins but I thought we played well,” said the 26-year-old flanker.

“We weren’t under that much pressure and it was an enjoyable game.

“But we know we must continue to improve if we are to make this into another special season.”

Saracens - who won a domestic league and European Cup double last season - are currently third in the Premiership standings and have also worked their way through to the semi-finals of this year’s European competition.

Sarries face Munster in Ireland later this month.

But Wray is only focusing on this weekend’s encounter with Northampton Saints.

“We know it’s important to not look too far ahead,” said Wray.

“The only thing we’re think about is Northampton at the moment.”
