SPARTANS are firing up for another strong performance against Kramer Ausenco Brothers in the clash of the round in Capital Rugby Union tomorrow.

The young outfit from Murray Barracks are causing a stir at Monier Bava Rugby Park, going on their near upset over Defence, and will be a tough assignment for Brothers.

Spartans wiry playmaker Sawi Sukumbal will play a key role in dictating terms for their spirited outfit who are currently playing above themselves to date.

Brothers are getting into good form and with their heavier pack, they are likely to dominate if they control ball possession.

 Spartans best asset is in open rugby and it is more than likely they will be forced to spread the ball as much as possible.

However, Brothers pacey backs with Getsi Raka, David Malam, Ruben Kenake and Mara Katam looked to have established a working combination and will be tough to break.

In the other strong clash, Defence will find a spirited Nova a tough pack to negotiate.

Nova coming off an unexpected loss at the hands of LaSallians should be at full-strength with their representative players likely to return in a big way.

 While on Oval One, Juggernauts coming off a bye will see playmaker Wesley Rooney stepping up to contain a revitalised LaSallians who have found their second win.

While earlier, unless Southern Chiefs do something extra-ordinary they will find the going tough against Kemele University Piggies.
