The Varsity Cup will lifted by a new team tonight as the FNB Tuks team takes on the FNB UCT team in Pretoria. The game will be broadcast live on SuperSport from 18h30.
The UCT team smashed Shimlas in Cape Town in the semi final two weeks ago to reach the final for the second year in a row and third time in four years.
Tuks managed an away win against UJ to make the final for the first time, and the influence of Heyneke Meyer in this team is quite evident.
