FINALE HURRAH FOR KITSHOFF AT HOME

It could very well be Steven Kitshoff’s last home game after a glittering career. He is off to Ulster at the end of the season.

“Everyone is well aware that it might be Steven’s last match at Cape Town Stadium,” said star backline player Damian Willemse.

“And he is a big player at the franchise and (we) respect him a lot. We obviously want to do it for him. But where this team is heading and what we, as a group want, is to put in a huge performance.

“If it happens that results do not go our way and we don’t get to play another game with Steven at Cape Town Stadium, so be it. But for us as a group, we are focused to get our stuff right and be in the best position to win the quarter-final.”
