Majoro Rakhale Rescue Pirates The Buccaneers claimed two imperative away goals in their CAF Confederation Cup tie this past weekend, with second half substitutes, Lehlohonolo Majoro and Thabo Rakhale both finding the back of the net as Eric Tinkler's side rallied back from two goals down to claim a draw. Pirates were scheduled to tackle the University of Pretoria on Wednesday night in an Absa Premiership match, but due to Bucs' traveling logistics, the match has been shifted to Friday, as the team only lands in the country on Wednesday. Tinkler confirmed with the Siya crew upon leaving for Gabon that his team will have no rest when they get back. "We have to get used to it. There is no time to rest and we know that. Playing in Africa comes with that. The players know. We all know and we have to work around that in preparing the team for the next game. There is no time to rest. It's work throughout," Tinkler explained.
