“The Brumbies scored a try while Salmaan was knocked out. It was a head injury and the game should have been stopped there.”
They enjoyed almost 70% possession and territory but couldn’t break down a belligerent defence. It was a result that has tilted the Stormers’ season into the negative with five losses in nine games now.
“Having said that‚ we did well to get back into the game‚ those 12 points we gave them through two tries near the start were soft. We were completely dominant for the remainder of the match. The Stormers also spurned several opportunities to accumulate points through the boot after earning so many penalties close to the line.
But Fleck backed the decision of captain Steven Kitshoff to either take scrums or kick to touch with the penalties they earned.
