DHL Stormers vs Vodacom Bulls

GRAND FINAL
DHL STORMERS VS VODACOM BULLS

“It’s almost like a fairy tale. If anyone said at
the beginning of the Vodacom URC that the
Vodacom Bulls and the DHL Stormers would
play in the final in Cape Town, you should
have put money on it! You could have retired.
“It’s an unbelievable year and it’s nice to end
the season like this.
“You know what you’re going to get against
the Vodacom Bulls. They’re a really good side
and they showed it against Leinster as well.
“The thing is just to handle that pressure that
they have at the moment and just to focus on
what we have to do to win the game.
“I think that is what’s helped us the last couple
of months, that we just focus on what we’re
doing and trying to do things better that we do.
“Hopefully the guys can step on on Saturday
and just build on that.”

“We’re at a stage in time where there is
not much you can do.
“There is one game left in the Vodacom
URC, so we just need to try to replicate the
performance we had against Leinster last week.
“The DHL Stormers are the only South
African team we haven’t got a ‘W’ against,
so obviously we go with the mindset of
wanting to win.
“Like coach Jake (White) said, you enter
competitions to win.
“It doesn’t matter how we start or
whatever happens, we just need to make
sure that by the time the ref blows the final
whistle at the 80th minute that we are a
point ahead of them.
“When we started this competition, I don’t
think anyone gave us a chance. Especially
when we lost our first game against Leinster
and we went on to lose a couple more games.
“But as time went on, the bond and the
relationships got stronger within the squad
and the belief started growing.
“We found ourselves in a situation where
every game was basically like a play-off game.”
