ek gaan dit swaar se "geluk aan Maties" - sien julle in finaal

TUKS created own downfall - handling errors, too much kicking, turn overs against them............ a few brilliant individual performances on their side ........... well done Maties defended well .......... think draw would have been fair result........... but not to be
Tuks got 2 crunch games away from home , first UJ and last game NMMU in P.E --- need to get 5 pts against Wits and win one of last 2 to secure playoff

I find it amazing that in tight games many teams are continully turning down 2 points that could make the difference between winning and losing. TUKS were a prime example of this last night. NMMU went for 3 penalties at the end of the game and turned a 10-8 deficit into a 14-10 victory. Even though penalties are only 2 points it is still important to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

couldnt agree more .....

Ikeys - Maties....Maties by 10
Tuks - Wits......Tuks by plenty
Shimlas - Pukke......????
Nmmu - UJ......UJ by 8+

Ikeys not a push-over side @ home, but Maties will be to strong. One way traffic for Tuks. Shimlas? Don't know what to think about them. Pukke might have a psychological advantage having beaten Ikeys last week. NMMU, surprise package this year, will be tested tonight by an very impressive UJ side.

Can't argue with you predictions OR. Two good televised games for some decent Monday Night Rugby viewing. I wonder how many Tuks can put over Wits. Shimlas after a good win in Week 1 have looked poor but I feel they are going to put up a good performance tonight.

I am sure Hollywood have made a mistake because I cannot believe the 20/1 offered on UJ to lift the Cup. :S
