Steven Kitshoff, the former Stormers captain who joined Ulster at the start of the season, was especially disappointed with the result.
INTERIM COACH RICHIE Murphy has commended Ulster’s fighting spirit while calling for greater levels of accuracy in the wake of two defeats in South Africa.
It’s been a challenging period for the club, with Murphy taking charge following the departure of Dan McFarland in February. What’s more, South Africa is a notoriously difficult place to tour. Munster beat the Stormers twice at the Cape Town Stadium last season. They remain the only side to beat the Stormers at this venue.
“I’ve only been in the job for two weeks, but I can see how great he’s been for Ulster, and for me, I’ve really enjoyed working with him,” Murphy said, “I felt for him at the end, he would have loved to come here and win. “The Stormers got a bit more ball in the second half, and the 50/50 calls went their way. They caused us a few problems when they got a bit more width on the ball, and when they started pinning us back in our own half.
