The Women in Black’s flawless four from four sees them perched top of the tree with one remaining game of the year against Bristol Bears posing perhaps their biggest challenge so far.
Dave Ward’s mighty Bears have lost out only to champions Gloucester-Hartpury and finalists Exeter Chiefs in five fixtures with the StoneX stage set-up for a blockbuster Christmas cracker.
For Saracens, who replenished their squad following a series of departures in the summer, a new dressing room dynamic has brought a refreshing energy about the side as they target a title snatch.
“I’m really happy with how everyone’s come together,” he said. “Sometimes it might be the case that a few too many changes doesn’t give you that dynamic.
“Right now, I feel like we’re in a really good place and that’s testament to the players and their ability to accept the challenge of the league and accept the challenge of the competition.
“Sometimes results don't go your way so you have to keep making sure you keep building. Will I want to be going into January five from five? Absolutely.
“People say that you learn more in defeat but I’d rather say you learn a lot more in victory so that’s hopefully what we’ll get at the weekend.”
For a side who have historically been forward dominant, Saracens’ backs are enjoying the limelight of late.
Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby Player of the Week, Sydney Gregson is having another storming season in a Saracens shirt while new recruit Paige Farries is proving formidable on the wing.
And then there is strength there is depth with youngster Amelia MacDougall impressing at 10 while Tori Sellors is driving standards further, competing alongside teammate and Red Rose Ella Wyrwas.
“It’s a very strong squad but I wouldn’t say it’s overflowing,” Austerberry continued. “Because the thing that makes my life hard is players not playing.
“You need competition to drive standards and to force people to be better. We’ve got appropriate depth there but in terms of managing players, does it get any easier?
“I’m really happy with how the group have seemed to come together, we might have a lot of positional battles but you can do that in a supportive manner.
“We’re competitive as can be when it’s the 15 on 15 stuff but we can all learn from each other and drive Saracens forward.
“If Ella makes Tori better, Tori forces Ella to be better. Everyone is going to be an improved rugby player by the end of the year.”
In true festive spirit, where friends of old come together, Saturday will prove to be all the more special for the likes of Wyrwas.
Hannah Botterman and Holly Aitchison return to StoneX Stadium for the first time since their move to Bears and Wyrwas admits the pitch is the only place where the friends talk rugby.
“I’m in constant contact with them,” Wyrwas said. “I must say we do not speak rugby anymore, it’s an unspoken rule.
“That’s the nice thing about rugby, you play against some of your best mates and you’re out to get each other on the pitch but you can be mates before and after.
“Bristol are a team that like to keep the ball, they don't necessarily kick as much as other teams might.
“In terms of our gameplan, we definitely need to keep our discipline and be a bit more patient in defence because they will likely have the ball for those extra few phases.”
