Tuks (13) 53 / Pukke (16) 24 (Final Score)
Tuks and Pukke did battle in the Varsity Cup at LC de Villiers Stadion, Tuks Sports Grounds, Pretoria at 19:30 SA Time.
This was the live match discussion Article.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1 & CSN on TV in SA.
Tuks made hard yards of it in the First Half, trailing 13 / 16 at the break, but became stronger and stronger as the Second Half wore on, eventually running out comfortable winners… but they will know they’ve been in a tough encounter with a very game Pukke side giving as good as they got for most of the match.

Tuks will HAVE to value possession more… and play the way which brought them here to the semi
Hell, I suppose Tuks thought they would just have to pitch up….
They need a bollocking at Halftime, every one of them!
Tuks wondering where this team came from, wow, making for some good rugby
A serious chat at halftime for the Tuks, I fear
End to end stuff
Tuks run for once and looks good
Tuks must get one here
Try time, at last
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy Tuks!
That makes the scoreline look a bit better
Daardie drie gaan ‘n riller van ‘n tweede helfte opsit. Kyk net die verskil, die oomblik toe Tuks bal in hand hou, toe verander die wedstryd weer. Sit die reserwe skrummie op van Tuks, dan gaan dit nog beter gaan.
Mooi wedstryd.
Pukke 16 / 13 Tuks

Did anyone see the Masterchef SA? T.V. just gets worse!!!
Komaan Tuks, nie die hele seisoen se werk nou ongedaan maak nie, hou balbesit en die res sal volg.

78 @ Just For Kicks:
Flok, I can’t watch that kak…. and never will!
Tuks looking much better this half
Great Tuks maul… then they absolutely waste it… but get a penalty
5m Out….
80@ grootblousmile:You’re in the bad books, I’m not, hmmmm
Wonderful try Blommetjies
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Blommetjies!
Tuks 21 / 16 Pukke
84 @ Just For Kicks:
True…. but I like the DogBox… it seems
Try Van Wyk for Pukke
What a try, forward pass, but still, wonderful effort from a quick tap
Ag nee, laasjaar was dit UCT wat die Varsity Cup gewen het met ‘n meter vorentoe aangee. Gaan Pukke met ‘n twee meter vorentoe aangee Tuks uitskakel ?
