FNB Tuks registered a valuable away win in their first Varsity Cup match of 2011 when they beat FNB NMMU 37-8 in Port Elizabeth on Monday evening.
Game over, Maties win with a 26-point margin
Winston champ takes the Tuks game with his 29 point win pick for Tuks
Henniek picked the highest win margin for Maties by 19
Tuks, who have a new-look squad this year, were simply too strong for last year’s Wooden Spoonists as they ran in five tries to one on the night to secure the bonus point.
The Tshwane University of Technology may have lost their opening encounter 33-23 against trans-Jukskei neighbours the University of Johannesburg, but will no longer carry the tag of Varsity Cup whipping boys after an otherwise impeccable performance.
FNB UJ were trailing for most of the match, but through two late tries by replacement Earl Lewis and lock Jaco Swanepoel secured a very important bonus-point in the process.
Former SA Schools flyhalf Andisa Ngobo scored the first try of the match as the teams headed towards the half-time break with the rest of initial proceedings kept close by the boots of the respective kickers.
As the second 40 minutes started Vince Gwavu ensured his side increased their 20-6 lead when the FNB TUT Vikings capitalised on another mistake by the UJ backs.
Flyhalf Ruan Boshoff then slotted his third penalty of the night which saw TUT take a 23-14 lead.
UJ, however, fought back bravely and eventually managed to tire out the rock solid defenders they were up against all night.
Wits finished comfortable 22-12 victors over UKZN in Pietermaritzburg to remain unbeaten in their first three games of Varsity Shield
OK, nou gaan ek pis en rus…. ek dink juis ek is half innie dogbox…
