Stormers coach John Dobson was left to rue his team’s attitude in the wake of their 28-17 defeat to Glasgow Warriors in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday.
FILE. Versatile Springbok backline player Damian Willemse pulled up suddenly after scoring a try in the first half for the Stormers against Glasgow Warriors in the United Rugby Championship. Picture: Gianluigi Guercia/AFP pulled up suddenly after scoring a try in the first half, with what appeared to be a groin injury. It places his November tour with the Springboks in doubt if the injury is anything more than a niggle.
Willemse accounted for the first try of the match, but that would be the end of his participation in the clash which lasted just over 30 minutes. It was perhaps a sign of things to come for the Stormers who were the better of the sides in the first period, but an inspired second 40 from the Warriors showed just why they are the defending champions.“But we also had a plan and probably could've worked harder. That is what disappointed me a little bit .
“It's why we are a little sad about this loss. There were a couple of kick-chases and things like that where we cut ourselves the option of a quick throw-in because nobody was working back for us and that is not who we are as a team.”
