Pre-season delight for UJ
FNB UJ started off their pre-season preparations on a good note, as they picked up two wins over FNB Shimlas in Kroonstad on Saturday.
According to a report on suparugby.com, the Men from Johannesburg won their two chukkas 19-14 and 5-3 as coach Hugo van As was able to give all his players a run-around.
All eyes would have been on flyhalves Guy Cronjé and Worsie Kotzé - two high quality options for Van As in the No.10 shirt - but the latter picked up a shoulder injury which could be serious.
UJ will now set off for Camp Konka in the Magaliesburg mountain range for a camp wihich will include both training and "spangees" elements.
After they return from camp on Wednesday, January 18, UJ have matches against Wits and Pukke scheduled for January 21 and 27 before Van As decides on his final XV ahead of the 2012 FNB Varsity Cup presented by Steinhoff International.
