Ricardo Loubscher says they will play to their strengths instead of changing tactics
Athenkosi TsotsiAs the Lions brace for a Challenge Cup round of 16 encounter against French side Racing 92 on Saturday at Ellis Park , their backline coach Ricardo Loubscher says they will play to their strengths.
Loubscher, who has coached in France at Stade Francais, expects Racing to play as they did against the France national team. “From our point of view, we are going to focus on ourselves but we know they are a dangerous side. We are expecting the unexpected, so we need to prepare for a massive kicking game and prepare for a team that’s willing to run from their own 22. It’s hard to prepare for that but we have to prepare for the running and kicking game,” he said.
“You want to play to your strengths, the biggest mistake is when you get a playoff game and try to change and go away from your strength. We are going to stick to what worked for us in the last few games,” said the former Springbok.
