Province has rediscovered best defensive qualities and combined these with old-fashioned grit in successful run
To some extent, this recent upturn in another rollercoaster of a season has been founded on the return of some experienced players such as Stephen Archer, RG Snyman and Conor Murray, yet there is no one real outstanding reason for such a revival.
Munster have rediscovered some of their best all-in defensive strengths and old-fashioned grit in this recent run while finding a mix of tries off their lineout maul and through this season’s improved manipulation of their opponents. “Walking around our area that we’re staying in, it’s like walking around Cork or Limerick or Tipperary or someplace. You can’t turn a corner without bumping into someone. It means a huge amount to us and I’m sure it will stand to us [on Saturday].”
“We could have sold 1,000-rand tickets and sold out the stadium a few times over, so I took umbrage with that because we wanted to stay close to the people,” said Stormers head coach John Dobson about their pricing strategy.
