RUGBY NEWS - Having moved into second spot on the United Rugby Championship log and currently on a six match winning streak, the Stormers insist there is no chance of complacency creeping in despite facing a weakened Leinster side at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.
Coach John Dobson explained in a pre-match press conference that the team was fully focused on winning their final two pool games and finishing as high as possible on the URC log.
“Complacency doesn’t even cross our minds. From where we were a year ago as a union to where we are now, it’s so important for us to stay focused,” said Dobson.
Home semifinal?
“I don’t want us to get ahead of ourselves but we have the chance of finishing in the top two of the URC and hosting a semifinal in Cape Town which would mean the world for both the team and impact on rugby in the region, so we are as desperate as ever.
“We are also acutely aware that this young Leinster team was a ‘tough call and held-up’ away from beating a nine-Springbok Sharks team in Durban.
