Durban - With the high level of intensity produced during the pre-season period, the fact that the Cell C Sharks didn’t perform at a level they had produced in training was the biggest disappointment for the coaching staff.
The team too felt the 35-29 loss to the Cheetahs keenly, especially in light of their high hopes for the opening weekend’s Super Rugby clash at Kings Park. The fact that they had trained so hard leading up to the match, in the heat of the midday sun in Durban during February, was a disappointment given the lack of reward for their hard work.
“We had a very good pre-season and we had prepared very well for the game on the weekend,” assistant coach Sean Everitt told Sharks website editor Michael Marnewick. “Obviously there were high expectations from everyone to get a positive result from the game, so we’re very disappointed. It’s not what we wanted and we had planned to be a lot better than we were.”
