Nigel Carolan says the Glasgow Warriors squad have had some uncomfortable experiences in training this week whilst preparing to face the Stormers’ blitz defence on Sunday, but the assistant coach believes the players will be ready to exploit the gaps created by their opponents’ ferocious approach to closing down space come kick-off time.
“The Stormers are so different to every other team you play against, not only are they the reigning champions but they defend in a way which is different,” he said. “They bring an unbelievable amount of line speed, it’s almost reckless, and you really need to earn the right to find the space. You do that by taking them through a number of phases and then opportunities will open up.
“It is a great challenge which is really focusing the minds of not only the coaches but also the players.
