MUSIC : EEEE AAAA OOOO song [Otto knows million voices] mp3 Footage: Supersport The powerful Pretoria unit scored five tries to hand Maties their first defeat of the season, and just their third loss at home in six years of Varsity Cup rugby. The match started at a frantic pace, with some big collisions as both teams threw everything at one another in the tense opening exchanges. The home side lost two early line-outs which gave Tuks the attacking platform they needed to take the early lead, and they duly notched two quick tries to open up a 16-0 advantage. Scrumhalf Danie Faasen was first to score when he burst over following some sustained pressure from his powerful forward pack on the Maties tryline, and his halfback partner Willie du Plessis followed that up soon afterwards when he finished off a flowing movement to give Tuks the upper hand at the first strategy break. The visitors kept up the pressure they were rewarded when skipper Jono Ross bounced out of a tackle to get over next to the poles just before half-time, giving them a commanding 24-0 lead at the break. The Pretoria side started the second half in dominant style, hammering away at the Maties defence, and it was not long before wing Courtnall Skosan forced his way over for their fourth try. Despite their desperate situation, Maties did not give in and eventually got on the scoreboard when the ball was worked out to wing Clearance Khumalo who dived over in the corner for a try which reduced the gap to 32-5. Tuks hit back with a penalty from Handre Pollard before fullback Clayton Blommetjies made the most of a dropped pass by popping over a drop-goal to put them 36-5 ahead. The final blow was struck just minutes before the final whistle when Willis snatched an intercept to race away for the try which secured Tuks' second Varsity Cup title with the biggest winning margin in a final.
