The visitors on the field and ready as the home side make their way out lead by Ricky Schroeder

Conditions near perfect and no reason that we can expect anything less than an exciting game of rugby

The Majestic Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is the venue for this must win clash for the visitors as they have had a poor start their campaign by their usual standards. With no wins from the two matches Western province find themselves 2nd from bottom on the log only 1 point above their hosts Eastern Province. Last week Western Province came short at home against the Cheetahs with a performance they would rather forget after having plenty of the possession especially in the latter stages of the second half. Eastern Province lost at home to the Blue Bulls last week but, played well only being outdone by their opponents after putting in a good shift. Either way its a must win for both these sides should they wish to stay in the hunt for play off spots.
