Wasps have 19 players out of contract this summer, with Cipriani, Riki Flutey and James Haskell all attracting attention from near-neighbours Sarries. And Jones admitted he is on the look-out for quality new arrivals this summer as he looks to continue building his Sarries Empire.

He said: "I am interested in anyone that is a good player and can help Saracens. In January I will assess if any of the players are good enough and what Saracens need. We need to develop our young players (Noah Cato and Alex Goode) and bring in players that can help us challenge."

McGeechan, who saw Tom Rees suffer a suspected broken nose and join the likes of Dominic Waldouck and Rafael Ibanez on the treatment table, snapped after being questioned on the future of his big-name stars.

He said: "The contract situation is not unsettling any of the players and they are our business not yours.

"The attitude of the players has been first class this week and that was shown on the field."

Jones saw his side ship three tries in the closing stages on Saturday to hand an unlikely 33-24 Guinness Premiership win to Wasps.

Replacement Dave Walder sparked a blistering three-try final 10 minutes for Wasps as McGeechan's men clocked up a fourth consecutive success.

With just nine minutes remaining, Wasps looked dead and buried but two Walder passes set Rob Hoadley and Josh Lewsey over for scores, while England wing Paul Sackey charged down a Noah Cato punt.
