It is always difficult to know how a team plays once getting the bonus point and securing the win. I would go with Maties at -31,5 as they looked much better last week.

Tuks by about 5 in a windy Cape Town
A must win for Shimlas at home....by about 7
Wits will show heart but Maties by 18+
Madibaz by 5

Shrek, I saw your friend Shane Kirkwood on tv after the game in the first game against Tuks when he made a gesture into the camera how close it was.....game ended in a draw. (tu)

He got Man of the Match in that game. He is playing well. (tu)

If only they offered 3.15 instead of 31.5

The one thing about this years Varsity Cup is that the results are anything but predicatable. Maties last week beat PUKKE comfortable away from home and WITS have been the whipping boys. This week PUKKE thrash NMMU away and Maties stuggle to beat WITS. Their doesn't seem to be any form to go on and only TUKS are playing consistantly well.

Snap.

Thing is - it doesn't take 6 wins to get to the semi-final. And the semi-finals are a bit of a lottery anyway. Tuks might be favoured to retain the title, but it could just as easily go to Potch or PE....

PUKKE is a great bet!!!

Predictions for today's games gents? Looks like a few tough ones again this week.

Peekay very tough week again. I expect to see two very low scoring games televised tonight as well as in the UJ game with plenty of rain about. Only dry game looks like the Maties game. I would stay aways from the games this week as we are not sure how the teams will adapt to the wet ball and heavy underfoot conditions.

I would also be amazed if the Vaal went ahead tomorrow.

Our weekly banter around the Varsity cup.........any betting propositions boys?
