FNB Varsity Cup Players That Impressed - Round 4

FNB Varsity Cup round 4 delivered yet another thrilling turn of events as FNB NWU Eagles paralysed the defending champions FNB UFS Shimlas 59-14 at the Fanie du Toit Sports Ground. At the Green Mile, the FNB UCT Ikeys delivered a scintillating performance to thrash FNB Wits 73 -17 while it was maximum points for FNB UP-Tuks and FNB Maties.

Here is our selection for the FNB Players That Impressed during round 4.

 Ntokozo Makhaza (FNB UCT Ikeys)

Last year's overall FNB Player That Rocks was electric in his side’s 56-point demolition of FNB Wits. The 23-year-old was full of energy from start to finish, contributing to both defence and attack as FNB UCT ran riot over FNB Wits. Makhaza’s blistering pace made him a tricky customer for Wits to deal while his superb goal-kicking helped UCT to a huge win over Wits. He missed just two kicks out of his eight kicks and was substituted after 55 minutes after earning himself a well-deserved break with the damage already being done in the first half.

Edwin Till (FNB UP-Tuks)

Edwin Till delivered a standout performance in the number two jersey. With his red headgear and style of play, he strongly resembles former FNB NWU Eagles legend Gustav du Rand, who now plays for Griquas. Till scored crucial tries in the golden period on either side of half-time, swinging the momentum in Tuks’ favour.

Carel van der Merwe (FNB Maties)

Maroon Machine lock Carel van der Merwe was a standout performer from FNB Maties, showcasing his determination throughout the match. Carried the ball with intensity, breaking tackles and his efforts were rewarded with a well worked try.

Luan Van Der Walt (FNB NWU Eagles)

The Eagles fullback was a constant menace on attack and resolute on defence, positioning himself in try scoring opportunities. He crossed the line twice during the FNB NWU victory over defending champs the Shimlas including a near full length of the field intercept try showing off his ability to read the game and also some serious pace.
