Rhinos coach Waddington Thomas Chinyan’anya yesterday told NewsDay Sport that they were geared up for the game.
“We are expecting a very tough game against Inline Academy. They have the same number of points as us because they have also been playing well. It is our first competitive game against them, but we are ready for the challenge,” he said.
He, however, said both teams have an equal chance of winning the game.
“The players that utilise their scoring chances will carry the day for either Black Rhinos or Inline Academy. We, however, expect fair play as well as good officiating from the referees,” he said.
