Varsity Cup: NMMU vs FNB UJ – Game Thread

Published 14 February 2011 | By grootblousmile

Madibas (7) 16 / UJ (11) 21 (Final Score)

The first of 4 matches today in the Varsity Cup Competition was the one between NMMU and FNB UJ, it took place at NMMU Stadium, Port Elizabeth at 17:00 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 & CSN on TV in SA.

This must surely be the bottom of the barrell as far as games go, it was scrappy and error-ridden and UJ looked listless and dumb, with a very brave Madibas team trying their hearts out to make a game of it and nearly succeeding at the end.

Scorers:

Madibas: 1 Conversion & 3 Penalties Marius Muller, 1 Try Wade Roos

UJ: 3 Penalties & 1 Conversion Theuns Kotze, 1 Try Wigan Pekeur, 1 Try Luan Steenkamp

Teams:

FNB NMMU: 15 Vuyolethu Mazaka, 14 Juan du Preez, 13 Wade Roos, 12 Jeffrey Taljaard, 11 Makholokoe Ramashala, 10 Marius Muller, 9 Shannon Rick, 8 Jaco Swanepoel (captain), 7 Theunis Derksen, 6 Ferdinand Gerber, 5 Mzwande Zito, 4 Schalk Oelofse, 3 Musa Tukela, 2 Martin Ferreira, 1 Ross David-Anderson.
Replacements: 16 Lumka Mbane, 17 Dexter Seanancy, 18 Louis Fourie, 19 Andre Goosen, 20 Martin Ruiters, 21 Bradley Kretzmann, 22 Hlangoluhle Nodongwe, 23 Andile Mrwebi.

Head coach: Brent Janse van Rensburg

Police just announced the discovery of an arms cache of 20 semi automatic rifles with ammunition, 2 anti-tank missiles, 4 grenade launchers, 2 kilo of heroin, and 5 Thai prostitutes all in a house in New Doornfontein just behind the Public Library near Ellis Park.

Local residents were stunned..A community spokesman said: “We’re shocked. We never knew we had a f#*^ing Library ! “

grootblousmile on 14 February 2011 at 5:24 pm

Penalty UJ but too far to go for posts… they lose their own lineout..

Scrappy man!

grootblousmile on 14 February 2011 at 5:37 pm

Not very inspiring rugby… although I’m amazed at the amount of possession the Madibas as a minnow manages to get from their better rated opponents
20

grootblousmile on 14 February 2011 at 5:39 pm

Penalty to UJ, very kickable… but they go for touch
21

grootblousmile on 14 February 2011 at 5:40 pm

Bit difficult to get used to the toyi-toyi style support of the Madiba crowd
22

grootblousmile on 14 February 2011 at 5:41 pm

Try to Madibas… intercept and well controlled from there.

Try by Wade Roos

@ grootblousmile:
You better get used to off field shenanigans , like you said on that article by Morne 😆

grootblousmile on 14 February 2011 at 5:47 pm

25@ superBul:
Suppose so… just a bit “foreign” to what we’re used to.

Maybe we should learn some toyi-toyi moves…. hehehe
27

superBul on 14 February 2011 at 5:53 pm

@ grootblousmile:
I tried some about 10 years back, eish we are way to unfit now. There is non stop movement in a proper toyi toyi.

Just had someone demonstrate it to me and then i tried, did not go on a protest march 😆

grootblousmile on 14 February 2011 at 5:54 pm

Penalty UJ which they slot

UJ 11 / 7
