Hamilton said: “We’ve got a big game at Sarries away and we’re looking forward to that one as well.
 
“We want to keep the winning run on and hopefully be four from four to get a home semi-final at Welford Road.”
 
Hamilton paid tribute to the club’s fans as they set an Anglo-Welsh Cup record with a stadium capacity of 25,849 ticket sales.
 
“It’s just always nice to play a big derby against Saints, especially in front of a sell-out crowd,” he said. “It was a great noise out there and the team performance I thought was really good.
 
“There are still things to work on ahead of Sarries, we’re looking forward to training and putting those things right.”
