Geech satisfied with display

LIONS coach Ian McGeechan is confident there will be no damage to morale after having victory snatched away in the dying seconds of last night’s confrontation with the Emerging Springboks.

Geech satisfied with display

The home side snatched a late draw with a converted try but McGeechan, while admitting that he was disappointed, described this last midweek game of the 10-game tour as a potential banana skin that the Lions had got through days before the second Test in Pretoria.

“The conditions were such that it was impossible to play rugby, but I thought the attitude of the players was commendable. It was a million miles away from the type of game we wanted to play. I wasn’t happy with the result; not when the opposition score in the last seconds, but I wasn’t disappointed with the display. It just turned into a kicking game in a hurricane, and that didn’t suit.”
