Their game against Macassar will be a true test of their character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thembani Ngubelanga, Director of Coaches at Blue Jet, told <span>City Vision <\/span>they are hurting from the Villagers\u2019 defeat. He described the match as balanced and lack of accuracy from the team\u2019s kicker as their downfall. With another game at home, Ngubelanga is adamant about a victory. \u201cI can smell a bonus victory,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are going to teach them a lesson. All our teams are in good condition and at the necessary level.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director of rugby at Busy Bee Msutu Kewana hailed the win against Eersterivier. He cautiously welcomed the game against Scottsdene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey are no walkovers. They are certainly a formidable challenge and there is a raging rivalry between the two teams. It is going to be a tight game. There will be more pressure on us in front of our fans. Remember we lost at home against Blue Jet and away against Young Peoples.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue Jet will look to fly higher this coming weekend when they
