Notes
Quotes from Backline Coach, Sean Everitt.

“This week our focus is on discipline because that let us down against the Bulls on the weekend. We need to get that right playing a team like Western Province. Another focus will be on defence, Province use the width of the field well, they have some dangerous runners, especially in Cheslin Kolbe and Gio Aplon, so we’re going to have to do our homework in order to contain them.

“For both teams it’s extremely important to try get a home semi and the opportunity to host the final, so I doubt either side will use this week as preparation for the semi-final when so much is at stake.”
