With six matches left in the round-robin stages, the Cape side knows they can’t lift their foot off the accelerator, especially when they face so-called weaker teams. “You can easily fall into the trap of looking at the Bulls side and telling yourself if you get over that hurdle, you should be able to take a Dragons team that’s sitting 14th on the log,” Nel said on Thursday. “I think you can become very comfortable and pleased with yourself, and then once those micro-details start lacking, it’s just a snowball effect.”
