The third game in Round 5 of the 2021 Varsity Cup will be between UJ and UFS Shimlas. The game will be played at the Tuks Stadium @ 15h00.
UJ won (33-22) their first game of the 2021 Varsity Cup against the Madibaz in Round 4. Although UJ did not impress in the first 4 rounds they have steadily improved to become a team that could "surprise" at any moment.
Shimlas lost to the Ikeys 5-59 in Round 4. Shimlas who is a disappointment is still looking for their first win of the competition.
UJ should be the favourite to win this one.
