He kicked well and had some lovely touches. For a guy who has only really had one training session, he was good. He’ll be part of the discussions [for selection for the first Test]. “Gatland suggests that the back row and the back three are the two areas that will cause him the most headaches this week. “It is important to consider the impact the bench is going to have, and making sure they can add impact. ”Harry Latham-Coyle17 July 2021 19:201626545464Lions vs Stormers result: Marcus Smith impressesIt’s probably too late for Marcus Smith to force his way into the 23 for next Saturday’s opener, but the fly-half showed why the Lions were so keen to get him in the squad with Finn Russell struggling with injury.
That’s one area we have to work on. We expect a lot of kicking in the game. With a lot of teams, you might be 20 odd kicks in the game and with the Springboks it goes up to 40-odd so we are going to have to do a lot of work on that this week, being prepared to stay in that arm-wrestle. “Our defence has kept improving. We haven’t conceded a pick-and-go try on this tour yet, which is one of the strengths of South African rugby, so I’ve been pleased with that.

He took a little time to settle in to the contest but he showed the imagination, confidence and attacking verve to dazzle as the game opened up. He’d certainly be an X-Factor option off the bench - you wouldn’t rule him out figuring at some point in the next three weeks if Russell is unable to have any involvement. Warren Gatland should be pleased to see Alun Wyn Jones back amongst things. Five carries and seven tackles for the lock in 26 minutes on the pitch to prove his fitness. If Gatland is content with his match readiness, which is never usually a problem for the 35-year-old, he’s the favourite to retake the captaincy at the Cape Town Stadium next week. We should be hearing from Gatland soon, so stay with us for his reaction to his side’s victory.
There will be some robust debate, I would presume. On Alun Wyn Jones: “He defended well and put a few shots on. The big thing for him was to get through that period and see how he was afterwards. I know how hard he has worked over the last year or so. He felt in 2017 that he wasn’t quite at his best..
The Sharks had number eight Ryan Kankowski and scrum-half Cobus Reinach cross the line, but were only briefly in front in a game where they trailed 23-16 at half-time. Pollard's Springbok rival Pat Lambie, who has been criticised in the past for inconsistency with the boot, landed seven penalties and two conversions for a match haul of 25 points. Stormers hold on for win over LionsStormers loose-forward Siya Kolisi scored a try three minutes from time to put them ahead for the first time and they held on for a 22-19 win over the luckless Lions in their Super Rugby clash at Ellis Park. Trailing by four points with time running out, Stormers captain Duane Vermeulen opted for an attacking line-out and the visitors, who were blunt in attack for most of the game, drove over the line with Kolisi at the back of the maul. The Stormers' other points came via five penalties from fly-half Demetri Catrakilis, while his replacement Kurt Coleman converted Kolisi's try.

I was pleased we got back into it. There were some really good performances. Luke Cowan-Dickie was good, there was some good stuff from the back row. I was really pleased with the bench impact, they kept the pressure on. The longer the game went on the better Marcus Smith looked, the more comfortable he looked out there.

Bulls defeat Sharks, Stormers hold on against LionsCentre Jan Serfontein earned a bonus point on the hooter for the Bulls as they claimed a first win of the Super Rugby season with a 43-35 victory over the Sharks at Loftus Versfeld. Springbok Serfontein powered over the line with the last play of the game to go with earlier tries for scrum-half Francois Hougaard and loose-forwards Deon Stegmann and Pierre Spies. Fly-half Handre Pollard converted three of those and added four penalties with a perfect kicking performance, while his replacement, debutant Tian Schoeman, 23, added a conversion and penalty of his own.

Loose-forward Warwick Tecklenburg scored the Lions' only try as he powered over from five yards in the first half to help the home side to a 13-9 lead at the break. Fly-half Elton Jantjies converted that try and kicked four penalties as the Lions turned down two opportunities for an easy three points after the hooter as they went for a win rather than settling for a draw in a dramatic final passage of play. After three games the Stormers have three wins while the Lions have none.
He loves playing for the Lions and was desperate to get back. To me, it shows how much it means to the players from those four nations. “We’ll have that discussion about whether there is a role for him as a starter or on the bench next week. We know we’ve got a big week ahead of us. ”Gatland confirms that Jones has returned to the role of tour captain, with Conor Murray more than happy to cede that responsibility, apparently.

We had a few box kicks that went a little bit too far but when Ali started to run a little bit he put them under pressure. I’ve been really pleased with his performances. ”On Robbie Henshaw: “I think it was obvious that he needed the run. There were a couple of things in his game that he will look at and I think he will be better for that. He needed the game, he was tidy without being brilliant, but I was pleased with the way we defended as a team and he was a big part of that in terms of organising that midfield defence and our short side as well.

It was another slow start for the Lions in the opening 20 minutes but once they found their groove they were far too strong for the hosts, who battled with the tourists’ impenetrable wall of defence and quick ball at the breakdown. Price allowed them to play with that high tempo in the opening hour and he must now be putting pressure on tour captain Conor Murray for a starting place in the first test against the world champion Springboks at the same venue next weekend. Loose-forward Hamish Watson was an aggressive runner with ball in hand as was excellent hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie, while more good news for coach Warren Gatland was the return of lock Alun Wyn Jones who got 30 minutes under his belt after dislocating his shoulder three weeks ago.
