“Our execution needs to improve‚” said the coach with an air of resignation.
That‚ however‚ soon made way for a steely grimace as he reflected on a Pro 14 campaign that fell well short of the standards they set in their maiden season in Europe last year.
They made the play-offs then but with three matches to go in this campaign‚ they are out of contention. The last thing Smith wants is for his team to go through the motions.“The frustration is little things‚ the small errors. Teams execute well when they get 20m from the tryline in Europe. They score tries after 10 phases‚ something we are not that used to in Super Rugby.
"In the northern hemisphere every inch counts and ultimately the teams that makes the least mistakes end up winning.”
