Boer names his side for UFH clash
University of the Western Cape (UWC) head coach Shamiel Boer has named his side for this Monday’s big Varsity Cup curtain-raiser with the University of Fort Hare in Cape Town.

Johan Hendricks starts at fullback for the UWC and is joined in the back three by Clement Trout on the right wing and Marcus Simons on the left.
