Just Plain Drive: Shimlas coach, Hendro Scholtz and the Ixias coach, Tiaan Liebenberg join us on Extra Time  | News Article

Monday afternoon the University of the Free State Shimlas host the CUT Ixias in the Varsity Cups’ Bloemfontein derby.



Monday afternoon the University of the Free State Shimlas host the CUT Ixias in the Varsity Cups’ Bloemfontein derby.

It is the final round of the competition before the play-offs. Even with a win, there is no way that the Shimlas can reach the semi-finals. However, finishing in 5th with an average age of just 20 years old per player remains very respectable.

The Ixias in their turn are fighting to avoid the automatic relegation. The Madibaz are currently in that position, but are playing against the defending champions, Tuks, who could easily slip-up.

In the event that CUT do beat the Shimlas and Tuks slip up against the Madibaz, the side from Pretoria will end second last and they will play in a promotion-relegation game against the Varsity Shield runners-up, Walter Sisulu University.

The Shimlas coach, Hendro Scholtz, and the Ixias coach, Tiaan Liebenberg, both played rugby for the Springboks.
