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.

118: sal liewers nie sê wat al die tannies nou doen nie.
Tuks 45 / 24 Pukke
Het die Bulle en Tuks nou 2de helfte spanne geword? Dis soos die Oom Buurman dae…in die laaste 20 minute het die spook van Loftus geloop en het baie spanne verloor.
121 @ bdb:
Wat, wil hulle moord pleeg?
Hehehehe
Tuks penalty…
Ram it home, Tuks!
Tuks with another penalty and chance from a 5m line out.
Not driven back, carried back more like!!
9 Minutes to go…. looks done and dusted.
… but Tuks will know they’ve been in a contest…
123: lyk my so, sal graag twee helftes wil sien.
That kicking again
Arghhhh, a kick too long by Tyres!
Play getting a bit sloppy now
Right, come on Tuks, drive this one home now
Try time
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy Okkie Kruger!
Saterdag se 60-tal opgevolg deur ‘n 50-tal, geluk Tuks, BAIE beter in die 2de helfte. Verban die onnodige skoppies sommer permanent.
Tuks 53 / 24 Pukke
A great 1st half by the Pukke, but the Tuks came back in the second half to give them a hiding. Good on Pukke though, they haven’t given up
Less than a minute left
Thanks for the scores and chat everyone. Both victories in the end by pretty big margins for semis, and confirming that the two best teams made it through.
So it’s Tuks v Maties in a couple of weeks – or rather you lot against me, hahaha
Final Score: Tuks 53 / 24 Pukke
140@ TexasBul:Cheers TB, see you for the final
Okkie Kruger, Dunlop, Pretorius en Blommetjies was baie goed. Goeie diepte in Pretoria. Gaan ‘n taaie wees teen Maties volgende week.
144@ bdb:Final is on 9 April, so two weeks away
Luckily 2 weeks to recover from the bumps and bruises
The week’s break inbetween fits in well with my plans… if they are still going to materialize….
145: ok, die manne kan so bietjie uitrus.
Interessant hoe hierdie 2 wedstryde verloop het, soos die S15 spanne:
Stormers/Maties begin met ‘n ‘bang’, 2 en 3 drieë vinnig in die eerste helfte, en toe stop dit daar.
Bulle/Tuks begin sleg/so-so, en eindig met ‘n ‘bang’, 8 en 7 drieë.
Right, outta here, time to cuddle up with the ball and chain to watch Downton Abbey – not! I’ve suddenly found something very important to do in the cellar!
Till the weekend, keep your peckers up lads, big match coming up, and I’ll be there!!!!
147@ grootblousmile:Invitations still open, hahaha
