In Stellenbosch, winger Marcqiewn Titus scored a hat-trick as FNB Maties thrashed the already-relegated FNB Madibaz 61-21.
Maties led 31-07 at the halftime break after scoring the first try within one minute after the start of the game.
Two of Titus’ tries were seven-pointers, and it was no surprise when he was named the FNB Player That Rocks. The hosts scored eight tries in total, with flyhalf Jurie Matthee and replacement loose forward Siya Matanda each grabbing a brace. Matthee also kicked seven conversions and a penalty goal to finish with a 27-point haul.
