Fenton-Wells returns for UCT
FNB UCT captain Nick Fenton-Wells has been added to the Ikeys bench ahead of today’s last-round league fixtures in the 2010 FNB Varsity Cup presented by Steinhoff International.
Fenton-Wells, who who replaces his cousin Greg Mallett on the bench, has been out of action for some time because of injury. His return, however, is a huge boost for UCT who could secure a home semifinal with a win over the FNB Tuks later today.
Of course, everything depends on today’s first clash between the FNB Pukke and the defending champion FNB Maties in Potchefstroom. (More about that HERE.)
Meanwhile, in other team changes ahead of what promises to be an exciting final-round league finale to the 2010 Varsity Cup, UJ have replaced Jaco Claassen with Anthony Gallacher in the much talked about No.23 shirt.
NMMU have also made a host of changes – including Oscar Mazaka moving from fullback to the wing and Wade Roos coming in at No.12. (The other changes to the NMMU team are below – in bold.)
