  Tuks were the surprise package last week, really bullying Maties at the collisions and with an overall hunger which was superior to that of the Maties.

  The question is, can they kick on from here and duplicate this type of performance?

  Is it possible that a bit of Heyneke Meyer’s influence is starting to rub off on Tuks as he is invloved in an assisting role in the coaching at Tuks now?

  Gooooooooooooooo Tuks!!

  Tuks may have been something of a surprise last week, but I think that generally UJ are at last starting to live up to the reputation that they carry around in JHB.

  For too long they’ve actually played second fiddle to PUKKE, (who also play in the GLRU Club competition) but it seems as if PUKKE really lost the plot when Matthew Proudfoot went down to Cape Town.

  Anyway, Orange all the way tonight.

  Tuks forwards very good in the lineouts.. and seem to be dominating to an extent… but also giving away too many penalties in the process
