these varsity cup handicaps are never even close - they proof to be way out every week, probably due to the funny rules that are used in these games (power plays and all sorts of shit - last week the Maties /Wits game was declared a draw only 30 mins after the final whistle - they decided belatedly that the last wits try was worth 9 points)

Tuks have a new coach and he must be clueless - Pukke to win by 15 or more
Ikeys have a strong forward pack and should keep the scoreline to under 10
CUT are useless, and although Wits seem to start slow every week they should wack them by 40

Jeez, how was that last 7 min by Turks... Yes, Pukke knew they had the bonus point in the bag, so probably eased off a bit, but my word... Chalk and cheese from the first 73min.

at least Ikeys won the 2nd half
Maties a very well coached team - 2 tries better than any other team in the tournament

You were very unlucky at the end with your prediction... Was a very weird game tbh... Both teams dominated when they where playing against the wind... Normally it's the opposite... But some entertaining running rugby....

UCT were a very good team back in the day and even played in the top div in Cape Town along with Villagers, False Bay, Northerns,Maties and Hamiltons. Used to get crowds of 10000 at Newlands on cold wet Saturday afternoons.

sure Maties also played there

in 1967 the Police vs Tuks night games drew bigger crowds to Loftus than the bulls get in super rugby these days

Wits have a good team and should beat UJ by at least a try Expect them to start slow as usual, with UJ building an early lead – then back Wits in running to win going away

Tuks have changed their coach but the new one is even a bigger joke. CUT play rubbish, but not much worse than Tuks this season – they should not lose by more than 3 tries, so the +25 looks very good
Maties should score a 50 like the Sharks – hold that thought - don’t see that happening and I think the team selections will be critical - Madibaz will lose by 4 conventional tries at most, so lose by 28 or less
Pukke at home! to win by at least 2 clear tries so the -12 handicap looks about right – coin toss

Disgraceful behaviour by a group of THUGS masquerading as students at NMU during Madibas vs Maties game last night :angry:
