It's the on-going saga of will he go, will he stay as Jez, Matt and Duncan record as Racing 92 announce the 'signing' of Faz... is it a done deal? Are we resigned to losing our skipper?

This week, Jez has plenty of guests, with panellists Jon and Jo joined by Izzy the Cat and special guest Richard 'Bazz' Barrington! The king of the remix discusses Saracens memories, the start to his new season, and the frightening lack of Guinness in Agen!
Also on the show: the great escape victory over Gloucester, a youthful women's team's defeat to Bristol, and the latest sad news from Worcester and Wasps.
Sam and Barry are with Jez this week, to review a thrilling victory over Quins at The Stoop, and a very unexpected style of play! (unexpected by us anyway...)
The team discuss the performance from the Red Roses, Elliott Obatoyinbo's new gig up north, and the debate over time wasting.
Plus, the sad passing of Eddie Butler - a genuine rugby titan
Jez, Matt & Barry briefly reflect on the cancelled Prem Cup fixture before rounding up the week's news from around the Saracens family. The team review the results from the weekend, and look ahead to the first league fixture of the season as the return to competitive action sees us take on our good friends Harlequins...
This is a big one!
We're incredibly grateful to the team behind the scenes at Saracens, but most importantly to Saracens CEO Lucy Wray, who took time out of her day for an in depth chat with Jez and Sam for this week's show feature! Tune in to hear lucy's thoughts on her Saracens memories, the new governance of the salary cap, the new West Stand, the relationships between Premiership clubs and so much more!
Either side of that, Matt is joined by Jon and Sam to discuss the latest news at the club, with Nick Isiekwe out with a long term injury, and to chat through the key points of the pre-season encounter with Ampthill.
We're back! and we're bigger than ever! remains to be seen whether we're better of course....
In our season opener, Jez and Matt take you through the changes for the new season, and we'll make further introductions to our new guest panel!
Over the course of the season we'll be joined at various points by Jon Mannings, Jo Peake, Barry Pain and Sam Norris, who will make regular contributions as guest co-hosts, keeping Jez and Matt from taking over the airwaves!
But we also have a first special guest of the season: Jez spoke to the blonde bombshell Mouritz Botha - crucial to that first title win in 2011 and a cult hero over five seasons - who is now a highly regarded coach at our favourite Championship team Ampthill. And stay tuned to the end for a big announcement of our guest for the second show of the season!
Its our final show before having a break for the summer so we thought we best leave you with a big one to keep you occupied!
After discussing citings from the final and Eddie Jones' selection policy (naturally), its time to dish out our awards for the season for the Men's and Women's rugby, and the Mavericks. Of course we're in no position to run the rule over the Mavericks, so Lucy G and Lucy P from the outstanding QtrTime Podcast were drafted in for their expertise, reviewing the season and the future ahead after a change at the top, before Jez and Matt make their choices on the Teams and Players of the year in rugby.
Thank you to everyone who has listened in over the course of this season - we'll be back in a couple of months. Stay tuned!
Jez and Matt piece themselves together to review the last minute loss in the Gallagher Premiership final (with Jez having just got back from Father's Day on the sauce!). Both give their honest assessment of a disappointing result and performance but try to stay philosophical about the season as a whole and what lies ahead for the team.
Join us next week for our Fezcast Awards where we'll review the Saracens Family's seasons and select our Teams of the Year, before we have a well earned holiday!
To whet your appetite for the biggest match of the season, Jez and Matt bring you an extra Fezcast this week! Ahead of the Twickenham showdown with Leicester Tigers, they discuss the off-pitch chatter from the week, the rebuilding of both clubs, and how we can win one more match and earn ourselves the trophy! And if that isn't enough, Jez had a chat with the Gallagher Premiership Player of the Season Ben Earl to get his thoughts on the challenge ahead!
Saracens Men did their talking on the pitch, coming through a blistering and bruising encounter with harlequins to set up a showdown at twickenham with leicester!
Jez and Matt discuss the latest news, the reaction from fans, and the key moments of the game in the first of this week's Fezcasts. Yes there will be two!
The wise words of Freddie Mercury rang out this weekend as Saracens Women claimed a third Premier 15s title in brilliant style. After Jez and Matt look for the positives from the men's team's heavy defeat to Gloucester, focus quite rightly turns to the performance in the final, the brilliant hosting at Sixways and where Saracens and the Women's game goes from here.
No need for a catchy show title - the name speaks for itself! Jez and Matt were joined by Saracens and England superstar Marlie Packer, discussing the upcoming final against Exeter Chiefs, as well as her life juggling professional rugby with motherhood.
Fresh from a weekend double at the StoneX, Matt and Jez are joined by Saracens super-fan Colin Garrett to dissect victories over Northampton and Harlequins, and to give their thoughts on potential team selection for the men's final league game against Gloucester.
We also discuss our opponents from Devon/USA in the Premier 15s final. Don't mention Tony Rowe. We think we mention him once but we might get away with it...
A quick turnaround for our next show as we reach the business end of the season! Jez is joined by May Campbell and Saracens fan & photographer Jo Peake to dissect the defeat to Toulon and the run-in for Saracens Women including the latest showdown with Harlequins
With another semi-final secured, we spoke to Sarries fan Sam Norris to get his thoughts on the talking points on and off the pitch. We were also lucky enough to have Saracens Amateurs DoR Jack Goldberg on the show to take us through their season and the future of the club, as well as the excellent House of Hope Sevens event.
The Womens Six Nations is reaching crunch time with another emphatic win for England and a storming performance from Marlie Packer but despite a heavy loss, Jez and Matt saw the potential in Ireland!
But the meat of the show (or Jez's vegan alternative) surrounds the likes of in-form Owen Farrell and a brilliant performance against Exeter Chiefs, at a time when there are tricky decisions to be made when focusing on the league and Europe...
It's an injury-themed show with Jez nursing marathon fatigue, Mavericks new signing Temalisi Fakahokotau joining after recovering from a cruciate injury, and England's Abby Dow sadly breaking her leg in the Six Nations.
Dodgy tackling is back on the agenda again with examples from the Enya match (Sale away, Sale away, Sale away) and in Brive, and we give our thoughts on European progress!
In the wake of playing against Bristol Bears at the brilliant Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, we brought Pete from the excellent Bears Beyond the Gate podcast onto the show for a Bristolian-eyed view of things! That's either side of our next feature interview, with Jez joined by Dom Morris to talk about his rising stock, preferred position, and rag rumours!
Not even Covid can put a halt to this week's show...
There's a lot to cheer about from a Saracens family perspective, and a lot to rant about in rugby's wider world... so we gave it a good go! Jez and Matt cover the state of play in fixtures for the Men, Women and Mavericks before diving head first and recklessly into their big issue of the week: dodgy tackling.
Among nine Saracens Women's players called into the England squad for the Six Nations are May Campbell and Ella Wyrwas who could potentially win their first caps. We were lucky enough to speak to both of them on the show, with May joining us in May 2021, and Ella in December. Here's some of the highlights from those interviews as a little bonus podcast to celebrate their call-ups!
On this week's show, Matt and Jez cover a quiet but important couple of weeks of results for Saracens Men, Women and Mavericks, before digging into the detail of the Six Nations fixtures. Finally, following the retirement of a Saracens great, the Club Cult Hero feature returns with a second row aerial commander inducted.
The Saracens family have bragging rights all round after a full set of local derbies! At 4pm on Sunday we had no guest, but as she has done for for Saracens Mavericks all season, Ine-Mari Venter stepped up and answered our SOS! We chat to her about the great start to the Mavs season and the close victory over London Pulse, in between dissecting wins over a very salty Harlequins, and covering the Six Nations action.
There's no way we could fit the names of our three guests into the show title...
After mulling over news regarding Mark McCall, Owen Farrell, and the recent results, we spoke to former Saracens backrow-turned-prop Hayden Thompson Stringer about his ever-growing career at Brive and the joys of playing in France! Then, Mavericks Head Coach Kat Ratnapala and newly appointed vice-captain Gabby Marshall join us on the eve of the 2022 VNSL season with excitement building for a return to matches on home turf!
Jez and Matt cover the latest rounds of fixtures for the Men's and Women's teams, and look at the Men's squad as it begins to take shape for the next season with contract renewals, a new signing, and possible departures. That's before they discuss the upcoming Six Nations, and which Saracens players may or may not find themselves in Eddies squad. Our views may even surprise you....
Matt and Jez return in 2022 after both had a pretty topsy-turvy festive period!
We discuss post-Christmas victories over Worcester and Northampton and some stand-out performances from everyone in the team called Alex. There's news of new contracts, including the Vunipolas (Vunipolae?) putting to bed rumours of their departure. Vincent Koch and Sean Reffell are leaving though, which we discuss and offer them our best wishes, before we hit the elephant in the room: the possible salary cap breaches of Leicester Tigers...
For a bumper Christmas special we doubled up on guests! Jez talked to Kelly Brown about his time as a player and coach for Saracens, as well as life with a stammer, and recent results. Jez and Matt are also joined by Saracens Women's scrum half Ella Wyrwas to talk about her career, the season so far, and her role with the Saracens Foundation. Merry Christmas Everyone!
Jez is back, but he and Matt are both suffering from the classic winter cold (thankfully not you-know-what). Both are therefore feeling pretty irritable so brace yourselves for rants!
Matt was at Saracens Women v Bristol Bears for the top of the table clash and caught up with injured captain Lotte Clapp. We also air our views on Sale, Chiefs, refereeing, and backchat...
No Jez this week so Matt's in the big boy chair and is joined by not one, not two but three guests! The SSA's Jemima Davis and James Peak step in to give their take on the first busy period of the season and the Autumn Internationals, and Saracens Women's centre and Cup Captain Cara Wardle joined us with her brilliant insight on everything from professionalism in the women's game to Juan Figallo's coaching style!
The highs of victory are balanced by the lows of a frustrating draw against London Irish. But to mull the games over and give us all a boost, Jez and Matt were joined by the refreshingly honest Andy Christie! The promising back rower joined the show and talked about the start to the season, the upcoming Premiership Cup, and his development at Saracens so far.
Also on the show... some more Eddie ranting!
This week, Matt's back and the Fezcast has been recorded on three different days. What could go wrong? Find out here...
Jez and Matt get together the day after the stunning 71-17 victory over Bath to dissect a strong performance, and also to attempt to understand the mind of Eddie Jones following his initial England squad announcements. Also in squad news, Matt caught up with Saracens Mavericks head coach Kat Ratnapala for her thoughts on last season, and the 15 netball stars in her line-up for 2022. Finally, Jez and Matt reunited a week later following the men's victory over Wasps, with Max Malins on fire and sporting some new look leggings!
Matt's on sick leave this week so Jez is joined this week by the SSA's Huddle sidekick Steve Cummins!
Jez and Steve compare notes on their running of the London Marathon last week, before discussing the news of new club ownership and Nigel Wray's legacy. Jez's rant this week is about the final decisions in the Leicester match - but possibly not in the way you'd expect! Jez and Steve couldn't leave without discussing the excellent Quins v Bristol match before moving on to the Newcastle game, and of course Sonia Green, making her 300th club appearance!
For our second episode of the season, Jez and Matt are joined by the SSA's David Loxham to discuss the opening weeks of the Gallagher Premiership season. First though, we cover a 100% start to the season for Saracens Women, and catch up with Eloise Hayward following her switch to last week's opponents Loughborough Lightning. Before covering the brilliant wins for the men against Bristol Bears and the Storm side against Ealing, we have a think about who's impressing and who isn't in the first rounds of fixtures. Finally, Jez wheels out the Eddie Jones soapbox again after he revealed his England training squad!
Jez and Matt are back for Season 2 of the SSA's Saracens Fans Podcast!
With the summer break over, we review an uninspiring and political Lions Tour, before discussing a good start for Saracens Women against Wasps and post-match interviews with head coach Alex Austerberry and experienced forward Kat Evans.
Finally, we wrap up the key points of Saracens Men's pre-season, debate a few red cards, and discuss our hopes for the opener against Bristol Bears and the season ahead!
We're back! Backed by the Saracens Supporters Association, Jez Denton and Matt Bartlett bring you The Fezcast, Season 2!
Before we get fully underway, spare 5 minutes to have a listen to a quick preview, as your hosts give you all the important details for the coming season - new ways to listen to us, new ways to contact us, new ways to get involved. And most importantly, the date of the first full Fezcast of the season!
