Owen Farrell has warned Glasgow Warriors there is more to come from Saracens in the wake of their eight-try demolition of Bath.

The European champions host Glasgow in Sunday's quarter-final at Allianz Park with momentum generated by a 53-10 victory over their Aviva Premiership rivals, but Farrell insists there is still room for improvement.

The 25-year-old says Saracens were good "in patches" during the Bath victory but has called on his team-mates to improve further in the European Rugby Champions Cup this weekend, live on Sky Sports 4.

"Everyone's in a good place and ready for it, but I don't think we were where we think we can be," the England fly-half said.

"We were good in parts against Bath and not so good in others and that puts us in good stead.

Sky Sports' Will Greenwood thinks Glasgow Warriors could spring a surprise when they visit Saracens in the European Champions Cup quarter-finals

"There are a lot of fix-ups and stuff we can do better. The scoring ran away and it wasn't a reflection of the game. We did some good stuff, but in patches."

Saracens have also turned to basketball to help warm-up their players before training sessions.

"It's been brought in as an enjoyable warm-up - moving about and throwing a ball around just before we get cracking with everything," Farrell said.
