Exiles' Director of Rugby Nick Kennedy knows his side were second best overall.

London Irish lost 44-13 to Saracens to condemn them to a sixth successive Premiership defeat.

"When you come and play at one of the best teams in Europe, it's always going to be very tough," Kennedy told 蜜芽传媒 Radio Berkshire's Adam Williams.

"You have to ride a bit of luck and make sure you don't make any mistakes and we did that for the best part of 50 minutes.

"Our discipline let us down and the sin-binning (of lock Teofilo Paulo near half-time) was very costly. But, we were still in the game after that.

"But then Saracens showed their class and that they really are ahead of us in their journey as a team that's been together for a very long time.

"They really turned it on when they needed to as the game got close."
