"I really aim to keep the team positive, and to try and make sure that every player in the team is playing their best," Botha said
"I have really told the guys to go and enjoy every moment of this week’s preparation and the game."
Eldoraigne have had a good season so far, with the pinnicle being the team from Pretoria coming out of the KES festivle unbeaten.
The team for thw eekend is well balanced acroding to the captain, both in experiance and skill – however there are some key players missing.
"The experience is shared with seven youngsters in the team, but we will definitely miss four major players in our team due to injury, he added"
"Which is a great shame not only for the team but also for three of them because they are matric pupils and this would have been their last FNB Classic Clash!"
The results between the two rivals has been mixed with Eldoraigne loosing in 2012 and 2013 but coming back well last time out to smash them 87-0.
