Quotes from Head Coach, Robert du Preez.
“We were disappointed with our performance last week, especially since we let down 19 000 fans who came through to support us and we owe them, and the rest of our fans, a more credible performance this Saturday. We’ve had a good training week with the team in good spirits and everyone is keen to contribute.
“The Cheetahs are always a tough prospect in Bloemfontein and we know what we are up against, but in saying that we also know what we are capable of as a team, and our focus will be on sticking to our structures, our execution and finishing our opportunities.
