There was certainly more attacking intent from the Stormers than before and they did stretch the Blues defence for most of the game. But the Stormers’ numerous moves broke down through a combination of handling errors‚ poor decisions and sloppy passes.“This was the best game we’ve played this year. I’m very happy with our rhythm in attack and only our final effort let us down‚” Fleck said.
Fleck is correct that the Stormers showed more intent and variety on attack‚ but the one statistic that matters — tries scored — was still zero.
