If you have to go with History then the home sides will win their semi-final games tonight, but this year’s competition has hardly followed the script of previous years.
by Jacques
Semi-Final 1 – UCT vs. Shimlas (Cape Town)
Monday’s semi-finals will be the first-ever without the FNB Maties but at least the people from Cape Town can get behind UCT as they take on Shimlas. It is also the first time that another team other than Maties, or UCT had top the log. The day’s first semi-final – a repeat of one of last year’s fixture – will see UCT play host to the FNB Shimlas at 16:45.
“What has happened before, or might lie ahead, is not on our minds at all,” cautioned the Ikeys’ coach Kevin Foote on varsitycup.co.za. “Our sole focus this week has been on Monday at 4.45pm,” he added. With his players on a high after their 19-17 come-from-behind triumph over FNB Tuks in Pretoria last Monday, Foote and his team have had a good week at training. However, he revealed that team selection had thrown up a few problems.
“There’s been a few distractions, if you can call them that. Our SA Under-20 guys got back late this week and losing a guy like Danger [Dayne Jans] has affected our student ‘quota’. “But, at the end of the day, I’ve picked a bunch of mates to go out there and win the semifinal for us,” he added.
FNB Shimlas coach Jaco Swanepoel believes that the notorious conditions at Groote Schuur will play a major role in his team’s semifinal against FNB UCT in Cape Town on Monday. He told varsitycup.co.za: “It was a tough lesson that we learned down there last year, especially how to play in the wind.
“It’s extremely difficult even to prepare for windy circumstances like that because we don’t have wind like that in Bloemfontein. If we do have wind it is a slight breeze against the gale force that comes though there.
“Hopefully we will have a beautiful evening in the Cape with no wind and then obviously better rugby will be played,” he added wishfully.
“Winning by 50 or 60 points just before a semifinal would not have been the greatest thing… so I think it was a big wake up call for our guys to step up a bit for the semifinal because it is going to be a totally different game,” he said.
The Teams for Tonight:
The FNB Shimlas team: 15 George Whitehead, 14 Cameron Jacobs, 13 Earl Snyman, 12 Charl Weideman, 11 Jamba Ulengo, 10 Jaco Colyn, 9 Enrico Acker, 8 Willie Britz (captain), 7 Pieter Labuschagnè, 6 Etienne Terblanche, 5 Joubert Horn, 4 Wilken Heyns, 3 Ian Potgieter, 2 Hercu Liebenberg, 1 John-Henry Harris.
Replacements: 16 JC Van Wyk, 17 Johan van Niekerk, 18 Frederick Ngoza, 19 Erik le Roux, 20 Franna du Toit, 21 Shaun Davids, 22 Divandre Strydom, 23 Charles Marais.
The FNB UCT team: 15 Therlow Pietersen, 14 Ricky Rijs, 13 Marcel Brache, 12 Adrian Kritzinger, 11 Mark Winter, 10 Demetri Catrakilis, 9 Nicholas Farrar, 8 Greg Mallett, 7 Nick Fenton-Wells (captain), 6 Michael Morris, 5 Donovan Armand, 4 Levi Odendaal, 3 Shane Meier, 2 Matt Page, 1 Wesley Chetty.
Replacements: 16 Neil Rautenbach, 17 Francois van Wyk, 18 Eben Etzebeth, 19 Zandy Macdonald, 20 Ricky Schroeder, 21 Pete Haw, 22 Sabelo Siyakatshana, 23 Pete Olivier.
(I am sure Pietploos will be glad not to see Hilton Lobberts in the line-up)
Semi-Final 2 – UJ vs. Tuks (Johannesburg)
On Saturday we had the senior teams in the Super 15 playing each other and tonight we will be treated by the youngsters who will take on one another. The only difference is Saturday was in Pretoria and tonight is in Johannesburg.
If there is one team that deserve a spot in this year’s semi‘s it is UJ. They really put their hands up for the title and proved so by beating Maties and UCT on their home grounds.
Tukkies on the other hand started slowly but came through in the later stages of the competition and have a real change to win this. The battle will be upfront and whoever wins it there will win this game.
Tuks head coach Nollis Marais told varsitycup.co.za. “UJ have been the pace-setters from the outset and again showed their class with bonus point away wins against, first the Ikeys, and then, the Maties; an excellent achievement in anybody’s book.
“We, on the other hand, will be the underdogs as we have suffered three defeats to their one,” he added.
“The fact that we were the only team to beat them in the group phase of the competition will not be to our advantage. In fact, in will rather be a hindrance as they will leave nothing to chance this time. They will be as battle-ready as can be and not underestimate us as may have been the case when we crossed swords on March 7.”
Head coach Hugo van As’ men will want to carry that form into a first-ever Varsity Cup semifinal but they will also be aware that knockout rugby is an entirely different affair; something that Tuks have some experience of, having appeared in two other VC semi’s.
The team that will contest UJ’s first ever semifinal shows just one change from the line-up that knocked Maties out of the competition last week.
The Teams for Tonight
The FNB UJ team: 15 Theuns Kotze, 14 Aubrey McDonald, 13 Justin St. Jerry, 12 Luan Steenkamp, 11 Lolo Waka, 10 André Smith, 9 Rudi Paige, 8 Cameron Peverett, 7 Justin Wheeler (captain), 6 Wendal Wehr, 5 Marnus van Huyssteen, 4 Johan Snyman, 3 Ruan Dreyer, 2 Alfred Ries, 1 Caylib Oosthuizen.
Replacements: 16 Thurston Zimri, 17 Ollie Terblanche, 18 Shane Kirkwood, 19 Johan van Deventer, 20 Jacques Pretorius, 21 Divan van Zyl, 22 Wigan Pekeur, 23 Anthony Gallacher.
The FNB Tuks team (v FNB UJ): 15 Andries Coetzee, 14 Deon Helberg, 13 Jean du Plessis, 12 Dabeon Draghoender, 11 Hayden Groepes, 10 Wesley Dunlop (captain), 9 Danie Faasen, 8 Jono Ross, 7 Jacques Verwey, 6 Warwick Tecklenburg, 5 Franco Mostert, 4 Nqubeko Zulu, 3 Stephan Pretorius, 2 Robbie Coetzee, 1 Vincent Koch.
Replacements: 16 Chris Crous, 17 Jean Rossouw, 18 Luvuyiso Lusaseni, 19 Willie Nel, 20 Clayton Stewart, 21 JC Roos, 22 GD Kotzee, 23 Grant Kemp.

Fok jy gaan aan of Maties nog nooit iets was nie sorry boet die beste Varsity span en al jou haat spraak gaan net volgende naweek ontplof as UCT weer vasval….maties is uit kom oor jouself, dit is nie die einde van die wereld nie hulle was kak die jaar en dit is dit….en het dit nie verdien om in die uitklop ronte te speel nie……ons almal weet geen span kan op repetasie speel nie vra maar die Bulle die jaar.

Reply to MornĂ© @ 7:37 pm: As jy mooi kan terug dink na die begin van die jaar sommer in die eerste rondte het ek gese Maties gaan kak die jaar ek gee alle eer aan die spanne wat die semi’s gemaak het, het dit verdien maar sal verras wees as UCT wen volgende week as gevolg van hulle rekord in finale want hulle jaag elke keer kak aan.
March 28th, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Reply to MornĂ© @ 7:39 pm: Kak man self jy het sal erken hulle was gelukkig om laas naweek te wen hulle het kak gespeel en Tuks het maklike skoppe gemis. Maak nie saak wie in die finaal speel nie dit gaan ‘n moeilike een wees vir albei spanne
March 28th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Hel selfs Shimlas het Maties se gat geskop en UCT sit 50+ teen hulle in n uitklop semi…
March 28th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Maar as ek ‘n UCT fan was sou ek ook so aangegaan het oor Maties wat nie daar is nie want maak nie saak hoe kak Maties is nie hulle is altyd oor UCT. Hulle het UCT se nommer al vier jaar lank

UCT can really play, but I saw at least 3 times today blatant hands in the ruck, twice it lead to tries. So something tells me UCT is a pommie revenge team trying by hook or crook to beat the dutchmen….
Testament to WP depth that both varsity teams can dominate whilst age group teams also dominate. Maybe its time the WP monolith will start winning what they should – allowing space for Boland to form a strong second union in the area.

so is ek reg om te se Maties is eintllik boland en UCT is WP? Maak sin.
March 28th, 2011 at 8:25 pm
Reply to Boertjie @ 8:20 pm: Nee Oompie net die jaar kak maar almal val somtyds niemand kan bo bly veraltyd nie. Seker Maties sal met mening terug wees volgende jaar. Hulle het agter gebly die jaar nadat al die ander spanne spelers gaan kry het en al wat Maties gedoen het was om spelers te verloor aan ander spanne.

Die probleem vir UCT volgende naweek is dat UJ en Tuks hulle gaan mors in die skrums en dit gaan die lewe vir UCT moeilik maak dit is hoe Maties al twee finale teen UCT gewen het is om UCT se forwards klaar te maak en balle te stop na hulle agterlyn.
As UCT hulle kan wen in die voorspelers wen hule die Beker

Selfs Craven kon dit nie regkry om Maties in die Boland te kry nie. Hy het niks van WP gehou nie, gevoel hulle diskrimineer teen US.
Ek dink die toegif destyds was om Maties ‘n tweede span (Victoriane) in die A-liga te gee.
March 28th, 2011 at 8:36 pm
UJ speel soos Maties laas week…..kan nie die bal hou nie te veel aanslae…..te veel omgekeerde besit….

Die ou man was ook maar eergevoelig.
Een groot game was dit Maties teen Vics.
Die Wilgenhoffers het befok vir die Vics gecheer, en toe wen hulle.
Craven het die koshuis byeen geroep en hulle uitgekak omdat hulle teen sy span (hy het Maties afgerig) gecheer het.
Toe sĂª hulle vir hom die rede was omdat die Vic-span propvol Wilgenhoffers was.
Craven het die verskoning nog steeds dikbek aanvaar.

ek moet bieg, laas jaar teen die einde was ek so gatvol om rugby te kyk. Dis nou week 6 van Super rugby en ek is klaar gatvol.
Elke fokken 2de skrum word 3 keer laat val en dan is dit `n strafskop? Wat is die punt?
Die rolling maul word deur GEEN ref dieselfde interpreteer nie. Hoeveel keer score spanne maar die rolling maul wat oor die lyn gaan bestaan uit 3 verkillende ‘pods’?
Die Pod ‘phase play’ kak is hoogs vervelig. Die Sharks game was die eerste game die jaar waar elke span ballas gewys het – heel tyd. Niks skop en hoop nie. Run die bal van jou eie gebied af ens.
Die ‘player not rolling away’ fokken klug. Weereens elke ref hanteer dit anders. Die Crusaders word steeds toegelaat om die hele area vol te le, Die Stormers word steeds toegelaat om een ‘returning’ speler te he wat elke keer terloops reg oor die loskrum terugbeweeg. So as die tackler moet wegrol, wat die fok doen die ander 3 defending spelers heeltyd daar onkant?
Omtrent elke spam in die wereld speel dieselfde gameplan, behalwe die Reds (op aanval) en die Stormers (op defence). Albei try ten minste iets nuuts inbring.
As hulle nie na die WC die skrum uitsort nie (laat die vetkop sy arm op die grond sit? Laat die dikkes vroeg inslaan ens – dit maak geen verskil nie en waneer laas het `n diknek seergekry?)
Maak ook dat mens die rolling maul kan plat trek, want dis anyways obstruksie.
Laastens wil ek sien hoe die speler wat getackle word die bal OF in die lug moet uitgee OF dis ‘anyones ball’ as hy grond toe gaan.

Selfde rede hoekom jou WP manne weer fokol gaan wen die jaar nie- ek noem dit die ‘high five’ sindroom.
die sindroom het ongelukkig by bokke ook ingekruip.

ja die attackins speler is verlde jaar 4 weke gegee om die bal te plaas – nou kom tackle assist en staan bakgat oor die bal. Solank jy nie val nie is alles sweet – maak nie saak of jy eers probeer het om die bal te speel nie. Maar laat jy nou aanval en jy gaan staan oor die bal dan is dit ‘sealing’.
Watter nerd het al die reels uitgedink? Die skrum het `n miljoen reels. Refs verstaan 30 daarvan. Die vetties in die voory vertsaan gewoonlik so 9. Mense wat op TV kyk (sluit in agterlyn) vertaan 3 reels?

Ek kry meer en meer die idee dat refs bang is vir tegnologie en die kameras…
hulle is so kak bang om foute te maak dat hulle die reels in die grys kolom blaas want hulle is te bang om wit en swart besluite te neem.

soos wat in rugby? dan nou weer is my raamwerk net FS en Gauteng – waar souties lekker wen tot hulle teen afrikaanse en deesdae in sporte soos atletiek/sokker teen swart skole speel.
Al gesien hoe diknek okies van KES by `n game teen Monument aankom. 40-0 later dan hang die skouers terug Sandton toe.
Ek like souties meer as boere, most of the time – maar in sport is hulle oor die algemeen tos. Kyk engeland krieket vir beste voorbeeld.

refs not to blame, its the rule-makers of the game. There simply is too much rules.

Souties het die boertjies n moerse pakslae in Kaapstad vanaand gegee…
En hopelik hulle sal hulle hul vorm van laasweek herhaal toe hulle die anner boertjies in PTA n pakslae gegee het op hulle tuisgrond!

Chess has more rules than rugby, it is not the rules, but how it is enforced.

but the refs enforce the scrum rules – all 300 of them. So we never see a good game because fatties in the scrum learnt a new rule during the week and now try to break it?
and its the refs job to enforce the rules?

So should they do away with the scrum to save the game?
What worth has it still with all the crooked feeds and crooking and the refs guessing who to penalise?
March 28th, 2011 at 9:59 pm
you dont have to do away with the scrum – just let the bloody thing take place without 400 stops.
why do you hardly ever see a scrum re-set in 7′s yet it still serves the same purpose as it does in 15 man game? Dont let anyone break off before ball is ‘fed’, not ‘out’ but let the scrum just exist to pull in 16 players thus allowing space.
Or you want a real contest of power? Let the hooker be ‘loose’ to pick the ball up – thereby making a scrum similar to a rolling maul but with the ball carrier in front.

7′s scrum has as much relevance as they do in rugby league…

The worst offense by a ref with regards to scrums is the countless times the ball comes out on the correct side, half-back about to pick and pass, just as the scrum collapses and they call for a reset… sommer just continue play!

How many years down the line are we now and the touch-judges seem to be assisting less and less?
One thing that has stood out for the most part with technology and cricket… is that the umpires are damn good and rarely make a mistake and back themselves with those ’3rd umpire’ calls…
