Ncikazi, though, singled out Amakhosi’s attacking trio of Bernard Parker, Keagan Dolly and Khama Billiat as Pirates’ biggest threat ahead of the titanic clash.

“We have to devise a plan whether it works or not, we hope that it works,” Ncikazi told reporters.

“We have to look at them holistically as the attack. We will try and stop them from their strengths, adapt to whatever they are doing and try and impose our game,” continued Ncikazi.

“When we have the ball, try take care of the ball better because they can hurt you if you lose the ball carelessly, especially in areas where they want to win the ball.
