Saracens are hoping to arrange fixtures against the Bulls, Stormers, Sharks and Lions before they join the PRO14 Rainbow Cup.

According to The Rugby Paper, the games would ease England coach Eddie Jones’ fears that several of his star names will be underprepared for the Six Nations.

The postponement of the Championship season until March has raised concerns for Jones who is set to hold talks with the likes of Maro Itoje, Owen Farrell, the Vunipola brothers, Jamie George and Elliot Daly before they kick off their defence of their Six Nations' crown.

The Rainbow Cup kicks off on 17 April with the competition concluding on 19 June ahead of the British and Irish Lions Tour.
