DHL Stormers head coach John Dobson said it was unfair to blame the 38-07 loss to Edinburgh on the mistakes made by Damian Willemse.
"Obviously, it didn't help that Damian missed two balls. But I suppose one needs to judge a flyhalf on more than just that."
"I thought his general game and attack and everything else was good. He scored one try and converted one conversion."
"He made a couple of mistakes, but I don't think that was position-dependent. Damian's mistakes were certainly not due to playing flyhalf"
Dobson said the reason for the loss is rather to be blamed on the number of mistakes the Stormers made.
"Our discipline put us under pressure," Dobson said.
“At 21-7, we really just started chasing the game and trying to make up the gap. Then we were at our poorest. We made mistakes and we got frustrated. We've got to take responsibility."
