Lions head coach Mziwakhe Nkosi lamented his team’s lack of concentration during their 43-31 loss to the Sharks in the Currie Cup on Saturday.
Nkosi is in charge of the Lions in the Currie Cup, while Ivan van Rooyen coaches the team in the flagship United Rugby Championship tournament.
The Lions began the match strongly and then dozed off, only to wake up in the latter stages of the match when they had to chase the scoreboard. They matched the Sharks by scoring five tires courtesy of Boldwin Hansen, Emmanuel Tshituka, Divan Rossouw, Morne Brandon and James Mollentze. “For the most part we were in it. If you look at the instances of a lack of concentration, that put us under pressure,” said Nkosi.
“As much as we were up for it, we have to concentrate for the full 80 minutes, not just play in fits and starts. That’s something we’re going to address as a team.
