"For the last couple of years, we've been known as a team that's got the flair," Kolisi told media on Monday.

A comment like this just reiterates how little he actually knows about the game... when have the Stormers been known as a team that jas flair??

And just for the record, any Stormers win will be an ugly win, no matter how it comes about.

You're not wrong though.

A defensive side can score tries. Look at the Bokke in the WC. Great defensive side, but scored more tries than any other side, including the AB's. ]]> Wed, 15 Jan 2020 12:53:42 +0000 http://www.lionsworld.co.za/forumnew/forum_posts.asp?TID=8529&PID=49859&title=stormers-prepared-to-win-ugly-in-2020#49859 <![CDATA[Stormers prepared to 'win ugly' in 2020 : Niela wrote: GoLions wrote:Scoring...]]> http://www.lionsworld.co.za/forumnew/forum_posts.asp?TID=8529&PID=49857&title=stormers-prepared-to-win-ugly-in-2020#49857 Author: GoLions

Last year that was in part due to Swys's philosophy of not worrying about the opposition scoring as long as we scored more

We had 8 wins but only 3 BPs and finished 9th whereas the Sharks (7), Chiefs (7) and Landers (6) as had less wins but made the play-offs due to bonus points.

The last year under Ackers (2017) we had our defence sorted out and conceded only 27 tries but it all went to pot again from 2018
