Plenty to play for in Cape Town
FNB UWC will play their first home game in the 2012 Varsity Shield, but they will fancy a hungry FNB UKZN outfit at the UWC Sports Stadium on Monday night.
UKZN are the only winless team in the competition - having suffered defeats to FNB CUT and FNB Fort Hare over the past two weeks - but the Men from Pietermaritzburg are still a tough outfit; even away from home.
That said, last year UWC trounced UKZN by 33-9 in their first-round meeting at this very venue, before the Men from the Cape did the double with a 24-15 Round Six victory in Pietermaritzburg.
UWC, like UKZN, have played two matches so far in the 2012 Varsity Shield, winning their opener (away) against Fort Hare, before losing away to FNB Wits last Monday.
