Duncan rues Cheetahs yellow cards

Cheetahs coach Rory Duncan said two yellow cards his side received played a major role in their PRO14 defeat to Ulster on Friday.

In their 42-19 loss, the Cheetahs conceded six tries and flank Henco Venter and prop Johan Coetzee both received yellow cards. 

“We conceded some tries during the yellow card period of time which put us under pressure and obviously it’s not ideal playing with 14 men for 20 minutes in the game, but that’s also part of the game,” Duncan told the Irish Times.

Duncan still feels positive about the rest of the season and is grateful for being involved in the PRO14.

“It was an experience getting the first game out of the way,” Duncan added. “Obviously the end result was not quite what we wanted. Still, it’s great to be part of this competition.”
