Myeni backs Tuks to go all the way in the FNB Varsity Cup

The Stripe Generation head to city neighbours FNB UJ in the Gauteng derby. The clash is vital for both sides as FNB UP-Tuks are looking to secure their number spot heading into to the knockout stages while for the Orange Army this fixture can decide their fate in the competition.

Tuks was victorious in five of their first six matches, topping the standings with three-points clear off FNB NWU Eagles the only side to win against Tuks this season. The Pretoria outfit showed relentless attack from both their forwards and backs. Andile Myeni was the maestro in defence cementing himself in the wing position. The durbanite hot stepper is determined that his side is gunning for glory.

“I have experienced both highs and lows with Tuks, and I have seen how those moments helped shape this season. It has been good, but we stay humble and working hard so that relegation never happens again. So we can put the jersey back where it belongs,” said Myeni.

“I have seen the team working hard, and we just want to keep improving every week.”

As one of the senior players in Deway Swartbooi’s side, Myeni alludes his team for his remarkable performance in this campaign.

“I have just focused on doing my role for the team. I have been supported well by my teammates and coaches. I have seen our brotherhood and standards keep us grounded. We always remind each other to stay humble and keep working,” he said.

The Stripe Generation head to Johannesburg in high spirits after defeating FNB Emeris 27-24 in a closely contested affair in the penultimate round.

“I have seen how important this game is for us. Being top of the log doesn’t mean much if we don’t perform, so we stay focused. If we stay disciplined and play for each other, we give ourselves a chance. Not being complacent.”
