1. Jomo Cosmos needs to win in front of home crowd

It is now absolutely imperative that Cosmos gains as many points as possible in its home matches in Potchefstroom if it wants to stay in the PSL.

Luckily for Cosmos, its  move to Potchefstroom last year has been met with staunch support as Olën Park is always filled to capacity when Ezenkosi comes to town. Cosmos has the talent in attack with Brice Aka and Charlton Mashumba leading the way. Midfield remains a problem, but one or two new signings might well do the trick. The team’s match against Ajax Cape Town this Sunday is crucial to building much-needed momentum.

2. Nege punte vir ‘n drie?

Die Varsitybeker behoort hierdie jaar weer een van die groot hoogtepunte te wees. Hierdie kompetisie word ook gereeld as ‘n toetsgrond vir nuwe rugbyreëls gesien. Een van die grootste veranderinge is dat ‘n drie nou werklik maal drie werd is. ‘n Span kan nege punte kry as ‘n drie binne hulle eie kwartgebied ontstaan het. Verder kan ‘n span sewe punte vir ‘n drie kry as hulle ‘n beweging tussen die halflyn en die opposisie se 22 meter lyn begin het. Die vraag is: gaan spanne hierdie puntestelsel tot hulle voordeel gebruik? Een ding is seker, ons gaan beslis groot tellings in hierdie jaar se kompetisie kry.
