Crunch ties in rugby semi finals

The rivalry among the four top teams; Gaborone Hogs, University of Botswana Rhinos, BDF Cheetahs and Livingstone Kolobeng Jaguars will continue as they battle for a spot in the final.

The first match, to be played at the UB Stadium, pits Rhinos against Jaguars. Rhinos come into the match limping after losing their match against Hogs last weekend.  However, they still feel they will retain the advantage after beating Jaguars home and away in the first round of the league. The Kolobeng students have a point to prove against Rhinos as most of the players once turned out for the UB team.  Rhinos manager, Thatayaone Malele told Mmegi Sport yesterday that pride is always at stake when the two sides clash. He said as the defending champions, their intention is to book a place in the final. Malele said after losing to Hogs, they spent most of the time working on their mistakes.
