Captain's profile: Tihan van Zuydam
The sides have been evenly matched over the last three years, having claimed a victory each with a draw thrown in for good measure, and van Zuydam will be hoping Treverton continues on their improvement trend on Saturday.
"The history between Treverton and Weston goes a long way – especially between the matrics – having won one game each over the past three years and a draw. So this game will be no different as we are expecting a very tight and physical game.
"That's what they [Weston] have been known for all the years and a running style of rugby. For us, we just looking to continue improving with each game. So far we have managed to bag four wins from six matches.
"So going into this game, we will be at full strength. There is plenty of experience among the senior players but we also possess a few new players who are gelling nicely," van Zuydam said.
Team dynamics and cohesion is an important factor for the scrumhalf, which is why he sees his team as a band of brothers.
"My team is not just a rugby team but a group of brothers and I feel like I, as the captain, have the responsibility to help the new players fit into our culture. On the field, bringing the team together and getting everyone to play for each other is of utmost importance.
"It is a massive honour to be leading this team as the highlight of my career thus far has been putting on the school's white jersey for the first time," he added.
The second year first XV veteran will be looking to his team mates to remained fully focused on their individual roles for the Classic Clash as it will contribute to the ultimate success of the team.
Van Zuydam plans to head North to study at the University of Pretoria while remaining active in the sport.
