CAPE TOWN - Western Province prop Frans Malherbe says the lessons they learnt in their opening Currie Cup game against the Bulls at Newlands at the weekend will stand them in good stead going forward.
“I think our set-pieces went reasonably well if you compare it to the game at Loftus where the Bulls got those three mauls going well and there were three penalties in a row. There were very few scrums; I think it's the first game I played where there were so few, I think there were like one or two in the first half,” Malherbe said.
While the pack did a solid job against the Bulls at the scrums especially, Malherbe knows all too well that they can't just rely on set-piece dominance this weekend, even though it's an area the Cape side have for the most part been consistent in this season.
