Meanwhile last weekend, the Caledon locals lost 8-7 to <strong>Ho\u00ebrskool<\/strong> <strong>Bredasdorp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ovies<\/strong><\/em> eighthman and captain, <strong>Johan Beukes<\/strong>, is a key player for his side. He has a powerful engine, making him one of the first players at the breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, he enjoys driving his opposition backwards in the tackles, while driving his team forwards in the carries. A strong performance from him can inspire his team to victory in front of a home crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Langenhoven did not enjoy much possession in their last game. They&#8217;ll need their loose forwards to win them more possession in the breakdowns on Saturday. Flankers <strong>Dylan Labuschagne<\/strong> and <strong>Hendrik van Zyl<\/strong> are feisty. They&#8217;ll pose a threat to Beukes in the battle for the loose ball.<\/p>\n<p>Both sides scored only seven points each in their previous fixtures. Home flyhalf, <strong>Curtis van Wyk<\/strong>, will look to get out of his cage and let his creativity flow. He is capable of surprising the visitors defence with a varied kicking game.<\/p>\n<p>His opposition flyhalf, <strong>Curt-lee Willemse<\/strong>, is a tricky customer. His speed and agility are something to watch out for. If given too much space, he&#8217;ll snipe the gap and get away with it.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, both sides will need to keep cool and focus on the essentials. A strong scrum and functioning lineout are two of the greatest strengths a team can have. The side that keeps calm and executes the basics well, is usually the winner in a big fixture such as this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The teams:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ho\u00ebrskool Overberg vs Ho\u00ebrskool Langenhoven at 14:40 in Caledon this Saturday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overberg:<\/strong> 15 Jade Macpherson, 14 Hlumelo Bala, 13 Favian Arendse, 12 Lee Abotsi, 11 Ave Tyali, 10 Curtis van Wyk, 9 Wilber Louw, 8 Johan Beukes (captain), 7 Jo\u00eblski Hendricks, 6 Andrew Erasmus, 5 Anro Ungerer, 4 Christiaan Maritz, 3 Miguel Lahmor, 2 Tristan Oliver, 1 Yhulle Carelse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ho\u00ebrskool Langenhoven:<\/strong> 15 Namanda Klaasen, 14 Quiwin Solomon, 13 Dewandre Laverlot, 12 Faizel Lakay, 11 Daylin Schietekat, 10 Curt-lee Willemse, 9 Evan Hardnick, 8 CJ van der Walt, 7 Dylan Labuschagne, 6 Hendrik van Zyl, 5 Caleb Ewing, 4 Wessel Cronj\u00e9, 3 Tiaan Wobben, 2 Francois Myburgh, 1 Jade Smith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ho\u00ebrskool Overberg hosts Ho\u00ebrskool Langenhoven at 14:40 in Caledon this Saturday.
