There is simply no way of dropping your guard on the fields of Cape Town this year.
Form books are left at the training ground and for 80 minutes on Saturdays, it’s anyone’s game.
Rangers proved this when they beat the highly-fancied Kuilsrivier last weekend in Super League B.
Coach Ebrahim Moerat’s Rangers won only one match entering this encounter and sprung one of the surprises of the season when they beat Kuila at home 24-16 last weekend.
Trailing 6-5 at the break, the underdogs put in a superb fight in the second half and Moerat's manne will be hoping that this is the turnaround they needed in 2018.
Kuila, meanwhile, have been involved in a see-saw battle with Paarl at the top of the standings over the past few weeks, but have now slipped down to third.
Super League B now has a new leader in Franschhoek, who have won five out of their seven matches to date.
The latest of those victories was a 45-24 demolition of struggling Hands & Heart last weekend.
With strong-running centre Darren Jacobs and Evered Blankenberg both dotting down twice, Franschhoek ran in a total of seven touchdowns for the win that lifted them to the top of the pile in SLB.
The log leaders travel to Young Peoples this weekend, where they will look to strengthen their log position.
As for the chasing pack, Kuilsrivier have a week off to think about their defeat.
Second-placed Paarl, fresh off a bye, host Hamlets in yet another crunch clash.
Hamlets, one of the favourites to win promotion to Super League A, were beaten at home by Primrose in a high-scoring encounter last weekend.
Heading into the break at 27-22, Primrose had the hele Mamre moerig as they ultimately won the match 42-32 to claim their fourth win of the season.
The Roses next face Bellville as they look to break into the league’s top six.
At the bottom of the pile, the two teams from Kraaifontein are struggling.
Hands & Heart look certain to drop to Super League C, unless they produce a miracle.
Neighbours Kraaifontein have also just registered one win so far this season and will follow their pals down if they continue in this vein.
