A late change of venue did not prevent FNB Madibaz from romping home to an emphatic 30-0 win against FNB UKZN in Gqeberha.
While the home side began slowly the boot of wing Kehan Myburgh was on target in the first 20 minutes of the opening stanza to ensure they had points on the board. They shifted gear after the strategy break, piling on the pressure to eventually see lock Mekyle Solomon crashing over for their first try.
While UKZN had moments out wide, they never really mounted a challenge that promised points.
Madibaz began the second half with a bang and after a prolonged period in the UKZN half managed to get the ball to right-wing Buhlebemvelo Fipaza who leaped into the corner for the five-pointer.
Madibaz’s forwards then took complete control and were rewarded for their dominance with tries by hooker Kyle Erasmus and replacement prop Andries Flemming.
