“At the moment our injury list is long‚” sighed coach Robbie Fleck.
Already shorn of the services of luminaries like captain Siya Kolisi‚ Pieter-Steph du Toit and Scarra Ntubeni among others‚ they have now lost Eben Etzebeth to a hand injury that may rule him out for the rest of the campaign.“It is not just Siya. There are some big name players missing. Pieter-Steph du Toit‚ Eben potentially broke his hand today. Cobus Wiese did his hamstring.
Fleck believes the number of absentees impacted his team’s ability to counter the rampant Lions who ran in six tries and secured a bonus point.“ too many injuries. That sort of affected the way we played. Still though‚ the Stormers somehow held on to the Lions’ coattails and could have played themselves into a position to snatch a late victory.
“Credit to our guys‚ they stayed in the fight. There were some good passages. We’ll move on from this and look forward to next week.”
