As UCT prepare for Monday's killer FNB Varsity Cup Semi-final
[permalink]

That's what he would have been if Herschelle Gibbs had chosen rugby as his career. But instead our boy went for the ball and bat. Or, in this case, a ball and chain - in Sea Point's prison cells to be precise. Not the best way to wake up on a Friday!

Ja, so Gibbs did NOT choose rugby and is therefore NOT playing for UCT in Monday's FNB Varsity Cup semi final against Pukke. There will be another fly-half playing, and another very gifted 14 men around him, as UCT continue their charge towards winning this, the inaugural FNB Varsity Cup. (I trust they've put a handsome budget towards the creation of said cup).

Funnily enough, we actually ran into previous UCT and Springbok player, Robbie Fleck, on Sandy Bay beach the other day (don't ask).

Robbie Fleck gives the "thumbs up"

We asked him his thoughts on this upcoming clash.

Goose-bumbs:

"This is probably UCT's biggest game since we won the Grand Challenge in 19-voetsak... This is an incredibly talented team that has faced all kinds of adversity since the tournament's inception and have come out on top - both on the field.. and off. Monday's game is not just about UCT, it is about a unique brand of rugby that has captivated the public and has hopefully shown that free flowing, free spirited, intelligent running rugby is better off than backward prehistoric type which is prevalent today. This possibility of a UCT victory against Maties in the final is too much to handle and brings back the memories of yesteryear.. Classic clashes between the legendary rugby institutions and a shit load of fun being had in the stands and the pubs - mouth watering stuff"

Beautiful stuff, Rob! That's what I'm talking about! I must say I'm pretty fucking excited for Monday's game.

For those of you who aren't able to watch it live at UCT, the game is being televised and you can catch it at 14h30 on Supersport!

See you there!
