FNB UJ make light work of defending champions, FNB Shimlas
The score line flatters the FNB Shimlas, who were convincingly outplayed by FNB UJ 72-49 at the FNB Stadium in Soweto on Monday night.
FNB UJ were looking to turn around their poor performance of last week when they met FNB Shimlas at the FNB Stadium on Monday night.
It was an evenly matched first 10 minutes, but then FNB Shimlas broke through to break the deadlock through try-scoring machine Mosolwa Mafuma. It was a nine-point try converted, and FNB Shimlas led 11-0.
But a penalty followed by a nine-point try of their own by FNB UJ, through Divan Nel, put the Johannesburg side ahead 14-11. A seven-point try by David Antoites put FNB UJ 23-11 up after 18 minutes. Another FNB UJ try by Ronald Brown after 28 minutes furthered their lead to 32-11.
FNB UJ scored a nine-point try to move to 43-11, before FNB Shimlas finally got one back. A seven-point try by Arthur Williams pulled the scores back to 43-20.
Although FNB Shimlas managed a seven-point try through Stephan Janse van Rensburg, the FNB UJ steam train was rolling on full steam ahead. The men in orange scored seven tries on the night and although a late surge by FNB Shimlas pulled it back to 72-49, FNB UJ dominated the encounter, beating FNB Shimlas 72-49.
