Varsity Cup-Back your boytjies

Interesting evening ahead, UJ should have too much for a decent Shimlas side, Maties to give Pukke a good old lesson in Stellenbosch. Tuks to pull one over a fired up NMMU outfit and secure the secure the home semi. UCT should stroll past Wits but their high error rate and inability to see out games in the final quarter is a worry. They have been ahead and going well against Maties, Shimlas, Pukke and UJ heading into the final 20-25 mins but proceeded to lose or draw those games. Whether its a lack of fitness, lack of concentration, skills or nerves nobody knows. I don't even think the coaching staff know.

Maties will lay down a marker tonight against a Pukke side striving for a spot in the semi's. That Maties driving maul must be giving opposition coaches nightmares. A steamlined set piece and above average offloading game make them a formidable outfit.

My picks
UJ (-5)
MATIES (-14)
TUKS - Win
UCT- (-27)....tentative on this one

UJ heading for an early exit, Shimlas completely dominant. Playing some very good rugby UJ look as if they have given up the chase here. Can they pull it back?

Most of these Student team would beat the six nation sides...

What a come back. I love this rugby. @ Shrek, you hoping for Madibas big time now.

Actually OR I am hoping for Tuks as UJ cannot pass Tuks but NMMU could pass UJ and I would rather play Tuks away than Maties. (tu)

UCT showing their dislike for the latter part of varsity cup rugby matches. 42-0 up at the break they concede 3 straight tries 42-24 now, 10 mins to go.

Game finishes 50-40 to UCT. Day of strong comebacks as Pukke finish strongly against Maties and UJ pulled their match against Shimlas out of the fire.

Very exciting finish to the round robin section seeing Pukke eliminated by 2 points. Should be 2 cracking semi finals next week. (tu)

Rom rom rom.....Stellenbosch kom......X(

Maties to face MNNU at Stellenbosch and Tuks vs UJ where-ever. Must say, I'm very impressed with MNNU this year. But, that's where it will end for them. UJ very disappointing tonight. who ever comes to US will lose. So take whatever you can get on Maties. Cheers.

Excitement the name of the game. Going grey faster than i should
