Head coach John Dobson said he was left frustrated with the DHL Stormers’ discipline and set-piece issues after their loss to the Glasgow Warriors on Friday.
The Stormers lost 20-9 at the Scotstoun Stadium, ending their unbeaten run in the 2023-24 Vodacom URC after impressive wins against the Lions and Scarlets.
Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu scored the visitors’ only points with three first-half penalties, as Glasgow capitalised on first-half yellow cards for Evan Roos and Joseph Dweba to build an 11-point lead at half time.
Despite a resilient response in the second half, the Capetonians couldn’t add more points and continued their disappointing record in the northern hemisphere.

Speaking post-match from Scotland on Friday night, Dobson told reporters: “We had no ball possession in the first half, and ended it with 13 players. We produced an energised and physical performance, but it was poor discipline and set-piece work.
“Energy-wise we were there. I told the team afterwards I cannot fault their energy. But I’m a little bit frustrated around the set-piece issues.”
The Stormers will regroup to face Benetton in Treviso next week.
