Stormers coach Robbie Fleck would not be drawn on the decision to allow the try by referee Glen Jackson. He chose rather to lament his team’s few soft moments.
In a match where the lead changed hands five times‚ the Stormers had their chances to end their lengthy losing streak in New Zealand. In the end came up short due to their own errors and some dubious officiating.Lock Salmaan Moerat failed a Head Injury Assessment test during the Hurricanes match and is likely to miss the Blues clash.
Against the Hurricanes two crucial lost lineouts at the back end of the match handed the initiative to the home side‚ which ultimately led to Beauden Barrett’s winning try. “In terms of effort and the plan we had‚ it was good‚ but our kicking game was poor in the second half. We also lost a few players to injury – both our locks early on and a flank – which limited our lineup options.
