Coach says the team should have taken more chances in the first half but hails Stormers for the win in Cape Town
BOILER-PIPE: 24 February 2019 - 23:00 Craig Ray Swys de Bruin. Picture: GALLO IMAGES Lions coach Swys de Bruin felt his side did enough to win Saturday’s Super Rugby encounter against the Stormers‚ despite falling just short at Newlands. Stormers replacement scrumhalf Herschel Jantjies sniped over almost seven minutes into injury time for a try that levelled the scores. SP Marais slotted the conversion to give the Stormers a vital 19-17 win that ended a four-year losing streak against the Lions.
They are human and Egon was a great player and he understands the game‚ so it would be totally unfair for me to comment on his performance.” The Lions coach admitted that his side might have put the contest out of reach by halftime in a hugely one-sided first half. “We should have used more of our chances in the first half perhaps‚” De Bruin said. “But I also believe we did enough to win the game at the end. But you could say we should have done more with our chances.
