The fourth game in Round 5 of the 2021 Varsity Cup will be between Wits and Madibaz. The game will be played at the Tuks Stadium @ 17h00.

Wits lost their game in Round 4 against CUT (11-19) and are still looking for their first win of the current season.

Madibaz lost to the UJ (22-33) in Round 4 and is like their opponents still looking for their first win of the 2021 Varsity Cup season.  Madibaz is a top coached team with a lack of talent the main reason for their struggles in the Varsity Cup.

Wits should be the favourite, however, the Madibaz second-half comeback is well known. This comeback might just surprise the men from Johannesburg.
