Rugby: Mziwakhe Nkosi hails Pieter Bergh’s tactical masterclass as Griquas stun Lions

# Rugby: Lions coach Mziwakhe Nkosi praised his rival Peter Bergh after the Kimberley side masterminded a shock 27-25 Currie Cup final victory at Ellis Park on Saturday afternoon. The visitors settled the tie with a George Whitehead penalty from the final kick of the game, ending a 55-year trophy drought and condemning the Lions to a second successive Currie Cup final defeat. Nkosi said they are extremely disappointed, especially after they have done enough to win. But he added that nothing can be taken away from Peter Bergh and his team, particularly from a tactical point of view.
