A nice comfortable win for the Maties against UCT.

Maties (4 tries) 37 UCT (1 try) 16

 

[Kornhub]

Go UNISA

 

[Pooky]

Every time I see or hear the word 'maties' I just feel like laughing.

 

[jasonbot]

University of Pretoria or Nothing!!!

A nice comfortable win for the Maties against UCT.

Maties (4 tries) 37 UCT (1 try) 16

Yeah I was at the game. UCT were making many mistakes.

They are like the Proteas of Varsity Cup..

 

[phoneJunky]

So there are no more unbeaten teams in the cup, Maties on top again. I thought UCT would be the strongest team this year, guess I was wrong.

Quite ironic that Pukke live and breath rugby yet they can't win...

 

[bwana]

Madibaz did well against the Vikings last night.

 

[phoneJunky]

MATIES are out, WTH?

History is going to be made one way or the other. Well played UJ.

 

[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

Maties have quite a different team from the previous years. However, it is embarrassing for them not to make the SF.

'A U A U A UCT'

 

[bwana]

The Madibaz fell to the Shimlas in a close game last night.

 

[Stevi]

GO UJ

 

[Kornhub]

Going with my mate to the UJ AND TUKS GAME NOW
