The FNB NMMU-Madibaz will look to build on their winning ways after beating Ikeys, 36 - 8, in Cape Town last week, when they face the defending champions NWU-Pukke in tonight's FNB Varsity Cup clash in Potchefstroom.
Coach David Maidza said he knew the experienced Pukke squad would be full of confidence in their ability to produce a winning result.
We have to be smart about how we approach them as we know they are a side who do not rely only on one way of playing."
"This will be a good measure for us to see where we are and where we are going in the Varsity Cup competition, Maidza said."
He added that it was important to play to their strengths against the highly rated Pukke team.
"We have to focus on where we will be strong against Pukke and make sure that we stick to our game plan with minimum errors."
Maidza said they wanted to build on the opening win against Ikeys, a match where they improved as the contest progressed.
"It was good for us to kick off in the manner we did against UCT," he said.
"I felt we had a slow start to the game where we were evolving with the game, instead of us stamping our authority on it."
Skipper Kevin Kaba added that it was a squad effort and that all the players put their best feet forward.
"At this early stage of the season there are a number of aspects to work on."
"But it is pleasing to see that these young men are willing to keep working to improve, not only themselves, but the team as a whole," Kaba added.
Kick-off is at 7pm and will be televised live on Super Sport 1.
