John Dobson is adamant that the DHL Stormers won’t deviate from what works for them when they take on the Glasgow Warriors on Sunday.
, in the buildup to the Vodacom United Rugby Championship clash at Scotstoun Stadium. Glasgow assistant coach Nigel Carolan was quoted as saying that – on defence – the Stormers “bring an unbelievable amount of line-speed, it’s almost reckless”.
The Capetonians arrived in Scotland having scored 111 points and conceded 49 in three successive victories at home against London Irish, the Vodacom Bulls and the Lions.Adopting an exciting gameplan that is indicative of the region, Dobson has produced a Stormers side that won the inaugural URC and which leads the SA Shield from second place on the overall standings after 11 rounds of the 2022-23 campaign.
“So one of our players, I won’t say who, described us as the Hard Livings gang of rugby – we live hard in terms of the way we play, and there is an element of risk around that. The Stormers’ 15-game run without a loss in the URC came to an end on a 4G pitch in Cardiff in Round 6. The visitors went on to finish the match having outscored the hosts by four tries to two, but a masterclass kicking performance from Rhys Priestland consigned the tourists to a 30-24 defeat.
