“I'm happy with the five points. We missed a few opportunities in Durban to do the same. It is important to get the points and keep up momentum, but there is a lot of stuff we didn’t do well; decision-making in particular, and at times we lacked a bit of effort. “At times good character was shown,” said Powell. “We were not as clinical as we would have wanted. It rained before and during the game which made the ball greasy and difficult to handle. We couldn’t get into our natural momentum.
