Read our privacy policy The job is not yet done: Saracens, the English champions, must take something from their final Pool Five game against Treviso in north-east Italy next weekend to be sure of qualifying for the knock-out stage of the world's best club competition for only the second time in six attempts. But by squeezing out this narrow victory over Biarritz – or rather, this narrow victory over the extraordinary Dimitri Yachvili, who is to scrum-half play what the Heineken Cup is to rugby tournaments – they put themselves in touching distance of the initial prize and gave the national selectors some serious food for thought as well as a little reassurance ahead of next month's Six Nations business. "I think he is playing as well now as at any time in the last two and a half years," the Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said of Goode, who is behind the quicker but less artistically blessed Ben Foden and Mike Brown in the red-rose pecking order but will train with the senior party ahead of the trip to Edinburgh as cover for the injured Toby Flood. Biarritz crossed the water knowing that their future in this season's tournament depended on producing a performance significantly better than anything they managed in French Top 14 rugby between late August and late December – a period in which Yachvili, their most influential individual by many a country kilometre, was largely off-limits thanks to World Cup commitments and resulting injury hassles.
