“Unfortunately, it’s at the back end of the competition; it starts to get tougher and tougher and it starts to become more and more physical because the margins get smaller. And it does come with the risk of losing a few guys, so there are guys that are a bit sore,” said White after the match in Durban.“It’s one of those difficult ones. I think a guy like Marco won’t be available next week but the others seem to be ok.
“We could score from long distance, and when the pressure was on to score from the maul, which is going to be crucial in the playoffs,” White said. “We have played really well, again we scored four tries. Even though we made so many mistakes, we still looked like we can score from anywhere, and that was good.”
