The clash will be the hosts’ first league action of the season, after they had a bye on the opening weekend.<\/p>\n

Their opponents came up short against Brandfort last Saturday, going down 12-31. However, they showed off some attacking potential earlier in the season when they beat Winburg 26-0 at the Pieter Swanepoel Sports Day.<\/p>\n

Fullback Ferlin Rulf<\/strong> and the lanky second rower Bokang Maichu<\/strong> impressed in that match and were both rewarded with tries. Their flyhalf, Jano Jackson<\/strong>, was also at the forefront of the attacks and he will relish another opportunity to drive his team towards victory on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

St Andrew’s lost their pre-season opener at the Pieter Swanepoel Sports Day after a gruelling battle with Ho\u00ebrskool Parys, who scored in the dying seconds to win 24-19.<\/p>\n

Saints’ big no. 8, Eduan van den Heever<\/strong>, crossed the try line twice in that match and he will be eager to make a similar impact this weekend.<\/p>\n

Speaking of impactful loose forwards keep an eye on Brandfort’s no. 8 Greyven Dempsey<\/strong>, who has scored four tries in their last two matches.<\/p>\n

They tackle Zastron, who have stepped forward as one of the early favourites after they dismantled Bloemfontein South 51-0 last weekend.<\/p>\n
