Hogs made it to the final after beating BDF Cheetahs 26-11 while Rhinos edged Jwaneng 30-26 during the semi-finals played last weekend. Hogs are expected to use home-ground advantage to contain Rhinos. Both sides have strong benches, which will have an impact on the game when Wildebeests hanges are made. Rhinos walloped Hogs to win the BRU Knock Out Cup at the beginning of the season. Hogs coach, Vuyisile Moyo told MmegiSport that being the defending champions comes with pressure on its own. “The pressure is high but the boys are well prepared this time because we lost to Rhinos in the Knock Out Cup final.
Our defence was our strength during the semi-final match, and our kicking game worked for us. We expect those elements to continue giving us an upper hand on Saturday,” he said. Moyo said being in the final is special and one gets to play against the second-best team in the country. When asked which player he expects to make a difference in the team and win the match, Moyo said all the players have specific roles to play and they work as a team to win the games. “Our game plan will win the game for us,” he added. Rhinos head coach, Khina Masinki, said they have managed to tick all boxes that they targeted at the beginning of the season. “Ticking all the boxes I do not mean that we are done.
