A dominant scrum set the platform for FNB WSU’s convincing win against FNB UFH (46-12). The WSU backs made the most of the front-ball they were given, scoring three tries to take a 25-0 lead into half-time. The Blues were more competitive in the second half, scoring two tries, but conceded another three.
FNB WSU opened the scoring with a penalty goal from captain Litha Nkula and after a couple of scrum resets, they found space out wide for winger Sakhele Ngeno.
A quick tap penalty then resulted in a try for FNB WSU centre Sicelo Tole that gave them a 15-0 lead going into the first strategy break.
Nkula kicked a second penalty, before his pin-point cross-kick found Ngeno, whose second try made it 25-0.
Flank Ayabulela Zono secured FNB WSU's bonus point when he crossed the line in the 49th minute. FNB UFH then finally got on the board when lock Intle Mancoko capitalised on a WSU lineout error.
But FNB WSU finished strongly as Tole grabbed his brace and replacement flyhalf Lisolethu Valisi went over for their sixth try.
FNB UFH then scored a consolation try in stoppage time through replacement prop Moeketsi Tuswa..
