Ngcobo acknowledged the squad did not play to their best and said it hurt that they missed the opportunities created during their five matches at the Hong Kong Stadium, with defeats to Fiji and Argentina on the final day contributing to a disappointing outing.“It was missed opportunities and that hurt, as we worked hard to create those, only to not capitalise on them,” Ngcobo said.
