Tough opposition await Shimlas and Ixias─── ADRIAN BOTHA 09:13 Mon, 19 Feb 2018
A tough round of Varsity Cup rugby awaits Bloemfontein’s Central University of Technology Ixias and University of the Free State Shimlas who both play away on Monday.
The Ixias, who claimed only their second ever Varsity Cup victory against the Madibaz last week, find themselves in Stellenbosch where they face the table topping Maties at 18:30.
At the same time the Shimlas will have the tough task of travelling to the Green Mile at the University of Cape Town to face the Ikeys but will be confident following their victory over Wits in Bloemfontein last week.
The NWU Pukke will have home ground advantage when they welcome the University of Johannesburg to the Fanie du Toit stadion at 19:00.
Meanwhile, the NMU Madibaz will be hoping to move off the foot of the Varsity Cup points table when they welcome Wits to the NMU stadium at 16:45.
