“We know what is at stake, and everyone is more than prepared for the game.
“It’s been a good season, and the scores can tell.
“And now our Sevens boys are back with us, so I don’t think we should have any excuse.”
The top two sides are separated by points difference, with Kobs in the driving seat and needing to avoid defeat on the last day of the season.
Pirates are still unbeaten since that 30-25 loss to Kobs in the first round and go into the fixture with a bit of momentum after an encouraging 08-06 win over Platinum Credit Heathens in the second round.

RUGBY When Kobs and Pirates met in a title decider
Pius Ogena’s try was the icing on the cake as Kobs celebrated their first league title since 2016.
The last time the two sides met on the last day of the season, Kobs won 15-05 and went on to lift the title in 2021.
But Pirates did a double over Kobs last season and will be confident of picking a result on the road again, this time with a league title on offer in a winner-takes-it-all situation.
