Saracens claim that they will try to turn down any approaches from the RFU for head coach Andy Farrell, according to the club's chief executive Edward Griffiths

Saracens chief executive Edward Griffiths has insisted that the Aviva Premiership side will rebuff any approaches from the Rugby Football Union for Andy Farrell.

The Sarries head coach was permitted to help England during their Six Nations campaign, but following Stuart Lancaster's appointment to permanent boss yesterday, reports have suggested that the RFU are planning to offer Farrell a full-time job within the coaching staff.

"The RFU asked if they could loan Andy Farrell for the Six Nations, which we did in the national interest," Griffiths said.

"They made it very clear that it was just for the Six Nations. He is contracted to us for another two years and he is a massive part of what we're planning here as a club, and that's really the situation.

"We will doubtless talk to the RFU shortly and hear what they have got to say but from a Saracens perspective, Andy is a big part of our club and a big part of our future."

It is believed that Lancaster has informed the governing body that he would like to keep Graham Rowntree and Farrell by his side for his four-year tenure.
