South Africa ‘A’ coach Mzwandile Stick and captain Thomas du Toit were disappointed after the team’s defeat by Munster at Pairc Ui Chaoimh in Cork on Thursday night in the first of their two midweek matches on the year-end tour.
“We knew if we gave them soft entries into the 22 they would use it and there were chances that didn’t go our way. But I am proud of the boys for fighting until the end.
“In summary, we had a game plan that we didn’t execute well in the first half and we also gave them soft penalties, and it cost us.” Stick added if Suleiman Hartzenberg’s try was in and a few other chances went their way, it could have been a different result: “But I’m sure the youngsters will learn from this.”
It was not all doom and gloom for Stick as he praised the spark his bench injected: “Credit to those guys, the bench brought huge energy. We may not have been on the right side of the scoreboard but these young players showed their warrior mindset. We played in front a of passionate sold-out crowd and that is also something the players will learn from.”
