URC – “We Are Expecting More Of The Same Against Zebre” – Francke Horn

 

The Emirates Lions captain Frankce Horn said their 23-19 come-from-behind win over the Dragons RFC was not a perfect performance and they will need to prepare really well and play to the best of our ability to secure a win over Zebre Parma on Saturday.

“It was not a perfect performance but it was a really good victory. It’s the first time this season that we have been behind twice and managed to win."

“We just stayed in the fight, we kept to our structures and in the end it was a really good defensive set to get the penalty and win the game. So we are really happy with the four points," Horne said.

“The conditions were very nice for Wales. It was a bit slippery, and it was a very hostile and tough crowd. But we enjoyed the atmosphere and to walk away with the victory made it sweeter."

“I am proud of the performance, especially in how we stuck together. It was also the first time this season that we struggled to get going. So for the guys to come together and say that we need to win this game was special and led to a great victory.”

“We are expecting more of the same against Zebre. Fast line speed, disruption at the breakdowns and stuff like that."

“They also have a very hostile crowd and they beat Munster two weeks ago, so they are not an easy team at home."

“We will have to prepare really well and play to the best of our ability to make sure that we get another win.”
