Unchanged Tuks head to Tshwane
FNB UP-Tuks head coach Nollis Marais has named an unchanged line-up for Monday's all-Pretoria Varsity Cup clash against FNB TUT.
Tuks got their 2012 FNB Varsity Cup presented by Steinhoff International campaign off to a fine start earlier this week, with a well-deserved 23-8 win over FNB UJ.
However, their Round Two clash will be a tough challenge - despite the Vikings' heavy first-round loss at the hands of FNB Maties on Monday.
TUT shocked Tuks by 46-34 at home last year and last year's losing finalists - who will have Jono Ross leading them again in the absence of hooker Zane Botha - will be eyeing revenge in this fixture.
The FNB UP-Tuks team: 15 Clayton Blommetjies, 14 Deon Helberg, 13 Jerome Pretorius, 12 Dabeon Draghoender, 11 Hayden Groepes, 10 Wesley Dunlop, 9 Lohan Jacobs, 8 Jono Ross (captain), 7 Jacques Verwey, 6 Okkie Kruger, 5 Franco Mostert, 4 Mike Williams, 3 Grant Kemp, 2 Jacques Momberg, 1 Sabelo Nhlapo.
Replacements: 16 Chris Crous, 17 Juan Schoeman, 18 Lean Schwartz, 19 Jono Janse van Rensburg, 20 Clayton Stewart, 21 Willie du Plessis, 22 Riaan Britz, 23 Basil Short.
