RUGBY NEWS - The Stormers have a week to reflect on why in his post-match interviews skipper Siya Kolisi is starting to give the impression he is experiencing a Groundhog Day effect where he is reliving the same experience over and over.
Kolisi spoke after his team’s 52-31 defeat to the Lions at Emirates Airlines Park about the frustration that comes with making good plans each week and then failing to execute them. The flanker said he felt he was saying the same thing over and over.
Certainly, the mistakes made in Johannesburg were redolent of where it went wrong in Pretoria seven days earlier and coach Robbie Fleck probably knew he was delivering understatement when at the post-match presser he accurately fingered the areas that need most work before the Stormers return from their bye to play a must win away derby against the Sharks.
