John Dobson was disappointed but not disheartened after the Stormers winning run in the URC came to an end in Glasgow.
Dobson felt that his team deserved that losing bonus point but felt they would dust themselves off and refocus.“It’s a very tough tour. Our main message after the game is that this is not going to define our tour. We had an objective for this tour about a certain amount of points, we must try and win every single game on tour now.
“Very disappointed not to get the bonus point. It could’ve been 16-20 and then we were on top of them. We know that we are better than tonights’ performance, especially in the set-piece and we will be up for it next week,” Dobson said.“We didn’t expect to go four out of four on tour, we’d like to. Glasgow, since their play-offs last year, they haven’t lost a lot of games at Scotstoun.
“Not a great game of rugby, no points in the second half. I think we had that second half pretty much in control. We even defended that classic Stormers defence towards the end. A couple of big calls and too many mistakes,” Dobson added. “But I though the second half showed a bit more of what we are about. I thought we managed, thirteen men not to concede a point, pretty special.”
