Eastern Province face the Eagles in a sunset derby in the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in a 17h00 clash that features two former Springbok coaches.
Allister Coetzee’s EP side have shown flashes of promise, but they are still looking for a full 80-minute performance. They’re coming up against an SWD Eagles side that is arguably the most improved in the competition under Heyneke Meyer.
The Eagles were unlucky not to beat the Pumas in round one and were clinical against Border last weekend. This used to be a close affair, often decided by the boot, so keep an eye on the kicking duel between Garth April (EP) and Fred Zeilinga (SWD).
