Wonderboom - Jurie Bezuidenhoud
This may be Wonderboom's first FNB Classic Clash but captain Jurie Bezuidenhoud is no stranger to big matches having played against some of the best in country.
Bezuidenhoud, as a fullback, has been in some tough games in the past and expects the same from the traveling Rustenburg team.
He has represented the Blue Bulls at under 13 level and has grown from there stating it was a fantastic 'learning experience'.
A strong kicking display against Waterkloof in 2012 (where he slotted seven penalties for a personal tally of 21 points) sticks in his mind as personal highlight and he hopes he can be a part of the scorers come Saturday.
The upcoming FNB Classic Clash against Rustenburg has got the captain expecting a very physical battle.
"I am expecting a very physical battle, especially up front, but this is where we will look to dominate," he said of Saturdays match
"We are expecting a tight contest at set pieces – the scrums are going to be a crucial point in the game."
The team for the Clash is one that looks both settled and balanced with only one player missing from an four match unchanged squad.
"We have gone unchanged now for four games, the only player missing this week is our fetcher Reynhard Fourie due to a broken finger, he added.
"We are a predominately young group of players with only seven players in their 2nd year as first team."
Following on from their victory over Montana, Bezuidenhoud hopes the momentum will be apparent as they look forward to a big game.
"we had a great game over Montana and I really hope we can take that momentum forward against Rustenburg, we just need to stay calm and do the basics," Bezuidenhoud said.
