According to KickOff, Truter, who is in his second stint at Richards Bay, said his side will be prepared, but he is cautious of the influence of the passionate Pirates' fans.

"Pirates didn't play this weekend, so they're fresh and going to Orlando Stadium is always tough, especially when the Ghost are filling up the stadium. We're very mindful of that."
