What are you thinking, Buccaneers? Kermit as a super-sub or as a starter? Perhaps Monyane instead of Shandu at right-back? Makaringe or Lorch on the flanks? There are so many options for Jose Riveiro and that should keep opposite number Rhulani guessing.

Ndlondlo to make his debut
Meanwhile, Pirates new signing Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo is set for his much-anticipated Pirates debut tomorrow and he should bring extra creative spark and guile to their midfield.
