Bulls coach Jake White lamented some soft moments that contributed to his team's demise during their 37-27 United Rugby Championship (URC) loss to the Stormers in Cape Town.
“It is an honour for us them taking the game so seriously,” said Dobson. “[The Bulls] resting those guys [last week], putting all their eggs in this basket, it is a massive compliment for us.
“Maybe to take revenge and put the URC final loss to bed. To win more convincingly is fantastic for us.” Unlike White, who was left to lament his team's shortfalls, Dobson said his team had been exceptional in the manner they wore the mantle of defending champions in the URC. He pointed to the absence of Salmaan Moerat, Evan Roos, Herschel Jantjies and Warrick Gelant from the team that beat the Bulls in the final.
“For us to be second on the URC log knowing we are big targets, we've done well. But we do have a long way to go and it is going to be tough.” Dobson is desperate for his team to maintain their momentum against the Lions next week. A win over the last team to beat them at home will also mark an entire year unbeaten in front of their fans in the URC.
