Ospreys boss Toby Booth has been speaking about the standards set by the South African sides in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship as he prepares to take on the DHL Stormers.
“I think the involvement of the SA teams and the way they play means you can’t get away with certain things that you probably got away with and you’ve got to be better at certain aspects,” said the head coach. Reflecting further on the way the new URC season has started, Booth said: “I think people have definitely wanted to be positive. Speaking to coaches, I get a general sense that people want to be positive, so I think there’s a mindset element to it. It’s not just in our competition, if I look across different competitions, there have been high-scoring games.
“We have had a couple of first halves that have gone close to 55-60 minutes in actual duration. Of course, some of that is injury and you can’t legislate for that, but there is still a lot of dead time in the game and the more we can quicken it up, the better.
