The loss the Cell C Sharks suffered against the Toyota Cheetahs (37-10) adds log pressure for the Cell C Sharks who must now host Griquas at Jonsson Kings Park this weekend and then head for Newlands to take on DHL Western Province in the final pool match before the knock-out rounds.
“We need to perform at our best every week now,” Brent Janse van Rensburg, Cell C Sharks assistant coach conceded. “We needed to get points out of this match, but it is what it is and it’s not the first time we’ve experienced moments like this. But it is important that we keep perspective and don’t allow it to define us.
“We need to focus on the process and what we need to do to improve and be more accurate at the set-piece and convert opportunities into points. We had a good performance against the Bulls a few weeks ago and the guys certainly have it within them to bounce back.
“We’ll remain positive and seek solutions.”
Given the disruptions brought about by Covid-19, he was loathed to lay blame there.
“We’re a solutions-based team, it doesn’t help to give energy to it or make excuses, we don’t have that mentality. We embrace the challenges that come and how we apply ourselves to those challenges will determine how we come out in the end. So while it’s not ideal, we can’t make excuses. We just weren’t good enough.” “We are hurting and will bounce back.”
