Another try for UJ, very productive down the right flank
5m Maties scrum… big error by NMMU there… otherwise almost faultless defence.
Another mistake favoring the Maties
Try Reniel Hugo for Maties…. and the stalemate is broken
UCT defensive line being ripped to shreds UCT 26 – 44 UJ #

Johnnywelti10 Bad mistakes by the referee maybe costing the madibas the game
NMMU hot on attack…. picking and driving through and just past the rucks…
Penalty NMMU… can they make it count?
OK i found a lot of Ref bashing friends, the Tweeting students ..
Another NMMU penalty, against Pitzer
Maties steal the NMMU ball… suppose that was the ref’s fault too….
Again an NMMU penalty… team warning to Maties
5m NMMU lineout… come on Madibas!
Maties cops a Yellow Card… Reniel Hugo to the bin
GO UJ!!!”@varsitycup: Another try to UJ they’ve stretched their lead at a crucial stage in this #varsitycup match.FNB UCT 26 FNB UJ 42.
Madibas close… stolen by Maties
It’s all FNB NWU-Pukke now in Johannesburg – the visitors now lead by 55-25 (over FNB Wits) with about six minutes left. #varsitycup
Madibas really showing some grit and determination…
One last NMMU chance, a scrum for them, 5m out
Despite a late try by FNB UFS-Shimlas Young Guns the FNB UP-Tuks Young Guns held on for a 18-16 victory in Bloemfontein.
Illegally stolen by Maties centre… penalty… quick tap
Maties survive the last onslaught… and win
Final Score: FNB Maties 13 / 8 FNB NMMU
This game was marred by poor refereeing, but i get my Superbru win point at least
Full-time at the Green Mile: FNB UCT 26 (3 tries, 3 cons, 1 pen), FNB UJ 42 (6 tries, 4 cons)
Final scores in the other 2 Varsity Cup games?
Flok, ek is 30 punte uit met hierdie wedstryd se score, maar darem close met die UJ / UCT game…
Wat was die Pukke / Wits score?
Lykmy ek gaan daar nabyerig wees…
Twitter is unanimous they feel Madibaz was robbed
