We respect them big time,” Riveiro said.
“We faced Stellenbosch four times last season in the MTN8 semi-final and in our two games in the league. We know very well what it means to play Stellenbosch and we have to accept that it’s going to be a game where we are going to be permanently under threat because there are going to be transitions.”
“We know very well what it means to play Stellenbosch and we have to accept that it’s going to be a game where we are going to be permanently under threat because there are going to be transitions,” said Barker.“But one just has to look at their front four – Saleng, Mofokeng, Mabasa and Maswanganyi. All of them are of their best in their positions in the league,” said Barker.
“I believe we have the quality which can unlock a good defensive unit such as Pirates. We have a lot of quality players in our midst.”
