Lions head coach Ivan van Rooyen lamented the uncharacteristic errors his side made in the URC quarter-final against Leinster on Saturday in Dublin.
Leinster were clinical and we made too many uncharacteristic errors.
That, in a nutshell, is how Lions coach Ivan van Rooyen summed up his side's disappointing United Rugby Championship (URC) quarter-final loss to the defending champions on Saturday evening in Dublin.
From the kick-off, the home side dominated and eventually scored nine tries in a 59-10 victory over the visitors in their first-ever URC knockout match.
It was a lesson in clinical rugby from the Irish powerhouse, and a lesson for the Lions in general about what it takes to progress beyond the quarter-finals and how important it is to secure a home play-off in the tournament.
