The Stormers are ready to face one of Europe’s most formidable teams when they turn out against English side Exeter Chiefs in their Champions Cup quarterfinal at Sandy Park on Saturday afternoon. 🏈 Rugby
Exeter head into the match off a 33-all draw in their last 16 match against Montpellier, where they had to dig deep to eventually progress to the quarters due to scoring more tries in the game against their French opponents.“We felt so in control of the entire game up until the 73rd minute . I think it was a combination of things that happened on the field at that point,” explained Nel.
“I think if there’s one thing that game has shown us is the fight and desperation these guys play with. They play with intensity, and a healthy balance between running, kicking and running it up the guts, complemented with good defence systems.”The Stormers are also not worried about the disruptive travel schedule they’ve had to take to get to England for their knockout match, after they left a day late due to flights not being available on Monday.
“Many of us are playing long enough and technology has developed so much, so everybody was sitting with an iPad, cellphone or laptop, where we could go through the plan for the weekend, and have a look at Exeter’s stuff,” said Nel.
