The DHL Stormers will be looking to end their PRO14 Rainbow Cup SA campaign on a high when they host the Emirates Lions at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.

“Our focus in Vodacom Super Rugby Unlocked and the Currie Cup was to improve our territory game and in the preparation matches and the PRO14 Rainbow Cup, we have tried to improve our attack. We have worked a lot on skills and our offloads are the top in the competition, so we have worked hard on it,” he said.

Looking ahead to their final PRO14 Rainbow Cup SA match on Saturday, Dobson said that the match against the Emirates Lions will be a good opportunity to improve in certain key areas and finish the campaign on a high.

“Our discipline can be better, our scrumming can improve. We are going to be up against a good Emirates Lions team next week and that will be a good opportunity for us to give some guys some more rugby,” he said.

Head Coach John Dobson was understandably heartbroken after the loss against the Vodacom Bulls, which his team came so close to winning.

“With the way we were attacking we just needed more ball and the Vodacom Bulls did well to deprive us of that.

“Our conditioning has been really good this whole competition, every game we have played has gone down to the siren. A big disappointment was that last scrum, it was our scrum and if we had got the ball out we would probably have won the game.

“We have proven in every game, four points has been our biggest margin of defeat, so to come up here and compete with a team as good as the Vodacom Bulls is encouraging, although we really wanted to get the win,” he said.
