The fans turned up in force to see his home debut, and Lomu said: “I didn’t feel any added pressure because of the crowd today. It should be uplifting when you have that sort of support. IÂ am confident in what I’ve got. I am growing each week, although today wasn’t my day to open up. I feel as though I am going in the right direction. Sometimes, the ball goes your way and sometimes it doesn’t. I have got to make sure I do what is best for the team.”
The Blues’s victory means they are guaranteed to reach the quarter-finals if they win their remaining Heineken games against Perpignan and Leeds, with Perpignan next up at the Arms Park on 14th January.
