The DHL Stormers have received official feedback from the Vodacom URC that they should have been awarded far more scrum penalties than they were in their season opener against Ospreys in Bridgend.
Forwards coach Rito Hlungwani said during an online press conference from Italy that the URC referees boss confirmed that referee Andrew Brace should have given the DHL Stormers at least four more scrum penalties in the 37-24 defeat to Ospreys.
“Usually we ask what we need to do better. We were right on four of them where we felt we should have got the penalty.Hlungwani said that this doesn’t mean the Stormers are shifting the blame away from their own faults in the match, as they let a 13-3 first-half lead slip.
