@Ben (Comment 5) : go TUKKIES!
@robdylan (Comment 7) : I’m supporting the Ikeys here. I dislike any rugby team from Pretoria.
Maties!!!!!!!!!!
Varsity rugby has changed a lot! Went to visit my FIL in Scweizer this past weekend. The son of his neighbour plays for Shimlas – Lappies Labuschagne – drives a sponsored Varsity Cup car….what happend to hitching a lift at Varsity!
@Ice (Comment 10) : Dis Lappies grow up in Rustenburg?
Here’s my picks, I’m aiming for 0/4 this week:
Tuks by 5
Maties by 15
Shimlas by 15
TUT by 5
Lobberts not making a massive impact, but good for phase play… I understand he is part of the UCT club, but surely you should be a student…
@Ben (Comment 11) : I dont know, but dont think so – his Dad is the Dr – they normally stay very long in one town!
but cannot say for sure!
@Ice (Comment 14) : I went to school with a Lappies Labuschagne. He’s a year younger than me so he should be 22 or 23 now. Also a good rugby player, don’t know what happened to him.

@DarkDestroyer (Comment 13) : I see Tim Whitehead is on the centre for Ikeys. Didn’t know he plays for them.
@DarkDestroyer (Comment 13) : Don’t have to be a student you are allowed a number of players who aren’t students, not sure how many.
@Ben (Comment 15) : Lock?
@Ice (Comment 19) : sorry – flank
@Ice (Comment 20) : Yes he’s a big boy.
@Ben (Comment 18) : Well that explains that then, yep – cheers… Game a bit scrappy, but good entertainment, these kids can play ball.
Tuks defense is far better organized – Lobberts had a good break, but also good on the scramble… Tough to call as to who will take this.
@DarkDestroyer (Comment 22) : Its like a quarter final so will be a bit scrappy.
Fluffed kick, could come back to bite…
@Ben (Comment 24) : Yep. Understandable, big pressure on the lads.
Intensity is being upped, I like.
HALF TIME

@Ben (Comment 18) : Does the same rule apply to the Varsity Shield? If so the Sharks should send a few guys to help the Impi’s.

@Danman110 (Comment 29) : I believe it does but I’m not sure hey.

Penalty to Ikeys
Tuks 12
Ikeys 9
What happened to Steve Meyer after injury? Did he vanish again?
@DarkDestroyer (Comment 36) : I think the Ikeys looked like the better team in the 1st half.
@Ben (Comment 37) : No CUT they might decide not to pitch for the game
@Danman110 (Comment 41) : Nice day off then for the boys.
@Ben (Comment 40) : They are hanging in there, they need to score a try, they seem to be struggling in the set piece and scrum… Defending in the red zone.
@DarkDestroyer (Comment 43) : Tuks looking much better in the 2nd half.
@DarkDestroyer (Comment 39) : Good question. If it was ever answered, then I cant remember
