Barker sees the positives

Amakhosi and Stellies will meet on Sunday at the Athlone Stadium, and Barker believes his side can gain from having studied Chiefs' pre-season matches.

"From a motivational level it is a bit easier," he told reporters at the Betway Premiership launch in Sandton this week.

"It is the first game of the season and there will be a lot of anticipation from the fans. We expect the stadium will be full. The players will be really motivated.
