    = 1 cap

    1 Eric Thabo Mathoho Nthethe Strength: They played together at Bloemfontein Celtic two seasons ago and understand each other Weakness: Nthethe will have to make up for Mathohos physical weakness and lack of man-marking

    0 Eric Tefu Mathoho Mashamaite Strength: Paired well for Chiefs during the season and complemented one another well Weakness: Both lack international experience 18

    Thabo Nthethe

    Tefu Mashamaite

    Bevan Fransman

    Thabo Nthethe

    Strength: Excellent markers and zonal defenders Weakness: Untested physically at international level and doubts regarding pace

    Strength: Both good in the air and do not shirk the rough stuff Weakness: Lack of international experience and Fransman is the slowest of the centre backs
