If ever there was an illustration of the real impact Jake White and his coaching lieutenants are making at Loftus, it was Saturday's 43-26 URC victory over Ospreys. | Sport24news

It's not about the fact that this win puts them level on log points with the Stormers - who do have a game in hand - at the top of the South African shield.

This victory was about David Kriel, the epitome of White and co's ability to mould players that fly under the radar into top-class alternatives when the Boks - notably Kurt-Lee Arendse, Canan Moodie and Sbu Nkosi - aren't around. The first was in the seventh minute when he was on hand to finish a silky set-move from a lineout where Harold Vorster's switch to Embrose Papier allowed the ball to go down the line.

Early in the final quarter, opposition pivot Jack Walsh kicked an awkward loose ball forward, which bounce suggested he was going to score, only for Kriel to keep his head and sweep the ball up on the slide.Five other tries were scored by the hosts as they continue to show progress in mixing power with enterprise.
