Exclusive Sharks Learnt Their Lesson In 'urc Series' Against Lions, Says Forwards Coach Lemmer

For Sharks forward coach Philip Lemmer, an advancing scrum is a thing of beauty because it requires eight players to work in perfect unison.

Even better for Lemmer is seeing a backline player accelerating through a gap and scoring a try thanks to the space created by front-foot ball from the forwards.

As he says, The forwards are like parents that must provide food for their children.

But Lemmer, a former prop and professional wrestler, knows the other side of the coin and says it was painful to experience a heavy defeat a few weeks ago at Ellis Park, his home ground before he joined the Sharks.

He is speaking of the Lions big win in the first leg of a home-and-away mini-series with the Sharks in the United Rugby Championship URC.
