The Buccaneers are looking to gain ground on the log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns who have opened up a five-point gap at the summit.

The Pirates coach spoke about their preparations and how maximum points are vital as they look to take the title race to the wire.

“Tough conditions give us a challenge to get the best out of us.
