A comprehensive wrap of the first round of Varsity Cup action.
UWC 19-51 Tuks
FULL TIME and the defending champs stamp their authority on this game despite a valiant second half comeback attempt from the home side. Bonus point win for the stripe generation.

UJ 29-24 Wits
And the crowd goes wild! @UJ_Sport hit back almost immediately! Tap and go on the half way line and it goes wide to Tshabalala who blazes down the touchline, sends it inside and Kelvin Kanenungo puts the orange army level with 10 min to play!
