Fort Hare travel to Bloemfontein
FNB CUT will be hoping that last week's bye does not affect them too badly when they play host to FNB Fort Hare in a Varsity Shield Round Four encounter in Bloemfontein on Monday.
A victory for the defending champions - and hosts - will see them return to the top of the log, but Fort Hare will be looking to build on their 36-21 home win over FNB UKZN last week.
It was a good win for the Men from Alice, who suffered two losses in succession (to FNB UWC and FNB Wits), and they will be a different team when they travel to Bloemfontein.
Last year's matches between CUT and UFH produced two wins for the Bloemfonteiners - 31-12 (at home) and 30-24 (away).
The reigning champs will be hoping for much of the same come Monday night at the CUT Rugby Stadium!
