“I have no doubt that the guys will get together, we will see what we did wrong and how we can take our opportunities better against Benetton. We will try to exploit that on Saturday and hopefully get the win.”The Lions will, however, have to put in a much improved performance from the one they did against fellow URC playoff chasers Ospreys.
“Everybody is really disappointed. We felt like we let ourselves and the fans down after a really good performance last week. It just didn’t go our way and we struggled to get a foothold in the match,” explained Horn.
