Barritt's Not Ready To Smell The Coffee Yet

BRAD Barritt aims to make it big in coffee when he finally hangs up his boots – but for now the centre is far more captivated by the sweet smell of continued Saracens success.

The South Africa-born centre has enjoyed playing a pivotal role in the remarkable Allianz Park revolution, and claims it has not yet finished.

Barritt, 31, has been preparing for life after rugby by investing in a coffee business that he hopes will fill the huge void once he stops wearing the Sarries jersey.

But for now Barritt insists appetite for success on the field is as strong as it was when he was plucked from Currie Cup action by then Saracens coach Jones to start a wonderful journey over here. 

Barritt hopes to celebrate his 200th club appearance with victory over Wasps today having been a cornerstone to Sarries remarkable spell of five major trophies in six years, and emergence as a European super power.

His international career may have been cut short by the same Aussie who unleashed him on the English game, but Saracens have certainly benefited from having him constantly available.
