Both teams sit at the top of their respective pools with 19 points apiece with the final round – on 21 September set to come. Both teams have won all their games so far and one would expect them to win their final round robin matches before the knockout stages.
Indeed, FNB Huis Marais will look to finish top of their pool, but must first negotiate the challenge that will be presented by FNB Huis Visser.
The previous round of FNB Res League rugby saw no surprises in results, but log leaders FNB Huis Marais sent out a timely message of why they’re top when they lashed FNB Helderberg 91-14.
FNB Simonsberg move second in pool A after their narrow win against FNB Medics with FNB Huis Visser dropping to third.
Elsewhere, the fight for second is still up for grabs in pool B with FNB Dagbreek and FNB PSO Barbarians sitting on 15 and 13 points respectively following their match last time out – which ultimately saw FNB Dagbreek win by a single point (21-20).

FNB Eendrag set for top finish in pool B
FNB Eendrag have enjoyed a solid season this year, having won all four of their games and now look set to finish the season at the top of the log with the fixture against FNB Helshoogte to come. One cannot see FNB Helshoogte stopping the men in the orange of FNB Eendrag, given they have won half their games in what has been a hot and cold season for them.
The PSO Barbarians would have been pleased with their efforts this season and will want to finish with a win against FNB Majuba who are currently bottom of their log.
In pool A, FNB Simonsberg have clawed their way to second on the log following back-to-back wins against FNB Huis Visser and FNB Medics. One can expect them to collect all available points against the hapless FNB Helderberg on Friday.
FNB Huis Marais and FNB Huis Visser square off in the other game, with FNB Huis Marais looking to go five from five and ultimately finish the season on top of the log as the knock-out stages draw near.
