Tuks outplay Ikeys

Published on February 24, 2014 | Leave a response

Defending champions Tuks continued their unbeaten run in the Varsity Cup with a 26-16 victory over UCT at the Green Mile.

An attacking lineout paid off for UCT as captain Liam Slatem followed up well on a Vince Jobo drive to rip the ball off Tuks tackler Ryan Nell and race over for the opening try which was converted by Dean Grant to make it 8-0.

A powerful driving maul put the visitors in great position, and big loosehead prop Juan Schoeman barged his way over on the stroke of half-time to level the scores at 8-8.

The home side had it all to do playing into the wind in the second half, but it was not long until Tuks stormed into their 22 where the ball was swung out to fullback Warrick Gelant who finished neatly in the corner.

Ikeys suffered another blow just after the second strategy break when a long Dean Grant pass was intercepted by Tuks prop Neethling Fouche, and the ball was worked out well to Duncan Matthews who dived over for their third try to make it 18-8.

Tuks were able to claim their bonus-point when replacement hooker Arno van Wyk barged over with minutes to go.

UCT claimed a late consolation when Huw Jones burst over for a try to end the game.

NMMU 16 Pukke 52
