Neels Volschenk - Taking the positives after Bayonne defeat

Loading player...
The Toyota Cheetahs will take plenty of encouragement from their narrow 29-27 defeat to French outfit Aviron Bayonnais in the EPCR Challenge Cup, despite being left to rue a missed opportunity to claim a memorable victory on foreign soil.
Speaking to OFM Sport, captain Neels Volschenk said the team had put itself in a strong position to win but acknowledged that coming so close against quality opposition, particularly away from home, made the defeat even more difficult to accept.
