    Notes:
    Quotes from Head Coach, Robert du Preez.

    “Going into round seven of the competition both teams find us with equal log points (18) and in the context of our group standings, this game is very important for us.  The Jaguares are a physical unit who enjoy running from all parts of the field and we know that we are in for a tough battle on Saturday.

    “There were many positives that we took away from last week’s match and the growth that we showed in many areas of the game was pleasing.  We want to build on that this week and have worked on areas we feel has let us down. This is our final match before our bye and our players know what their task at hand is and are determined to give it their all.”
