Tuks still undefeated in Varsity Shield after big thrashing for UKZN
For the second week in a row, Tuks swept past their opponents in the Varsity Shield tournament, when they thoroughly beat UKZN in round five of the competition.
The Tuks rugby team are on a roll with their second runaway victory in succession in the Varsity Shield competition.
Last week it was debutants Varsity College and this time it was UKZN at the receiving end of a 69-3 drubbing at the Howard College Stadium in Durban.
The man of the moment was hooker Henry Till who was deservedly named as the FNB Player That Rocks after crashing over the try line no less than four times.
Till and Walter Visser combined for the first 14 points on the board for the Stripe Generation before Kyle Cyster trashed his way through the Impi defence to add his name to the growing list of try scorers.
Ill-disciplined play by UKZN captain Tino Mazindhu led to a penalty try for the visitors.
Another try by Till, contributions by Marco Venter and Tharquinn Thane Manuel in this department and a Visser penalty brought the half-time score to 52-0.
In the second 40 minutes, the flow stemmed somewhat but not before Kobus Janse van Rensburg, Bayanda Ngubane and that man Till once again crossed the whitewash.
A lone Khanya Kama penalty late in the match meant that UKZN avoided a zero on the scoreboard.
