    Notes:
    Quotes from Head Coach, Robert du Preez.

    “This is finals rugby and whatever has transpired previously is irrelevant in this match.  It’s going to come down to our execution, discipline, but most of all it is about who wants it the most.

    “We called for greater intensity this week and our players have heeded that call.  There is no greater motivation to perform than when you are playing knock-out rugby and everyone is looking forward to this match.  We want to show what our jersey means to us and make our fans proud.”
