“Mabasa was a long time out. He came back and did well as a fullback and then we changed him to a six and he did well.

“He can play in both positions. Also Mako was priceless. He runs, he fights, he makes metres.

“The team works as a unit and it’s important to keep a clean sheet. We have Wayne with a lot of experience.
