Saracens boss Mark McCall has vowed that his players will attack the game when they face fellow English heavyweights Wasps in Saturdays Champions Cup semi-final, live on Sky Sports 1 HD. And Sarries considerable recent experience of knockout rugby - they are reigning Aviva Premiership champions and into a fourth successive European semi-final - could prove crucial at the Madejski Stadium.Somebody said to me that weve had 19 knockout games in the last six years. This is the 20th, McCall said. Its hard to get into the knockout stage, full stop, so to have played as many as we have is a good thing. Hopefully that experience is valuable but if it gets us over the line, we will wait and see.We have talked to the squad about this European journey that weve been on. I remember losing to Clermont Auvergne five years ago when it was men against boys. We were absolutely bullied off the park. Mark McCall is confident his side will progress to the Champions Cup final A lot has changed at our club in the five years. We understood that physically we needed to be in better shape, and our performance team has done a remarkable job and weve recruited well.This young pack that we have has all this experience, and everybody is much more confident in these games.Wasps have not reached this stage of the competition since 2007 when they went on to be crowned European champions, but rugby director Dai Young has overseen some scintillating performances this season including winning a Champions Cup pool that featured Toulon, Leinster and Bath. Whats the secret to the re-emergence of Wasps? Youngs men also smashed Saracens in the Premiership this term, winning 64-23 at Allianz Park, although that came when both sides were without their international players due to Six Nations commitments.He [Young] has done a brilliant job because four years ago they were on their knees, said McCall. They were down towards the bottom of the Premiership and not really contenders for the top four, and now they are playing as good rugby as any team has done in the Premiership for a long time.
