John Dobson said the DHL Stormers kept their “worst performance in a couple of years” for their United Rugby Championship quarter-final against Glasgow Warriors on Friday evening, losing 18-36 to the defending champions.
“I think after the last try, the last half an hour… we were just playing very, very poorly. Glasgow Warriors put us under a lot of pressure."
“We weren’t getting any yardage in our carry, and made a plethora of mistakes and massive credit to Glasgow for their defence. And then their ability with the ball in hand. If we’re going to kick as inaccurately as we kicked tonight with their attack, they punished us."
“We’ve been going 90% lineouts the last four games, suddenly dropped in the 70s, dropped down to giving away 17 line breaks, dropped down to 65% tackle completion, which is credit to Glasgow, how they attacked."
“But we kept our worst performance probably in a couple of years for a knockout game, which is disappointing.”
