Pienaar takes a look around Saracens (The Rugby Paper)
Saracens have reportedly spoken to Ulster scrum-half Ruan Pienaar and could pip Top 14 side Montpellier to the signing of the experienced playmaker.
Pienaar is leaving Ulster at the end of the season after the IRFU decided that the fan favourite must be replaced with an Irish player.
