John Dobson hails Stormers forwards after scrum masterclass against Sharks
John Dobson praised the Stormers’ scrum after their 39-22 bonus-point URC win over the Sharks, admitting he did not expect such dominance against Springbok props Ox Nché and Thomas du Toit.
Stormers director of rugby John Dobson was pleasantly surprised by his side's dominant performance in the scrum against the Sharks during their 39-22 win. Despite not expecting such a dominant scrum performance, Dobson praised the front row, noting that the Stormers scored a pushover try from a 5-meter scrum and secured two penalties.
The victory marked a crucial win for the Stormers, propelling them to the top of the URC table and exciting the 40,000-strong crowd at DHL Stadium. Dobson admitted the scrum dominance came a bit sooner than anticipated, but he acknowledged the collective effort from the team, especially from the back-five. The win also highlighted the importance of smart scrum engagement and the need to rotate his front row wisely for future matches.
