“The quality of [stand-off] Adam Hastings, who can make something out of nothing, though I thought for the most part we covered him pretty well.
“They are a good side, they are well coached and have quality players. There are no surprises for us, it was a very good win.”
Rennie, meanwhile, said he will be in touch with European referees boss Joel Jutge about a number of issues around the performance of French official Mathieu Raynal.
There was a suspicion of a foot in touch in the lead up to the Saracens try and the English side escaped any yellow cards despite a series of maul and ruck collapses.
“A lot of it was frustrating,” said Rennie. “We’re trying to apply a bit of pressure through that. We’ll look at the game and maybe put share a bit of footage together for Joel Jutge and get a bit of clarity around some things.”
Glasgow continued to press for a try late on to earn a losing bonus point and the coach said he had “no issue” with a late decision by Hastings to go for the corner rather than the posts.
“I think it was nine minutes left, so the decision was if we scored it was a chance to win it,” he said.
“We had two or three penalties before half-time that we could have gone for the posts too, but they had been penalised a couple of times, and if you keep applying pressure maybe you get rewarded with a yellow card and so on. I’ve got no issue with the decision-making there. As I say, we’ve got to be more clinical.”
