It's a Grand ol' Pukke v UJ Final
Varsity Cup teams, FNB Pukke and UJ, will meet in the 2010 Grand Challenge Final – after both sides won their semifinal clashes on Wednesday evening.
Pukke won a high-scoring encounter by 55-42 against Impala – in Randfontein – after leading 26-7 at half-time.
Lock Dirco Rautenbach, quite incredibly, scored another hat-trick of tries – as the Pukke forwards flexed their muscles once again – whilst Theuns Kotzé crossed for a five-pointer to go with his six conversions and one penalty goal.
Pukke’s scorers:
Tries: Dirco Rautenbach 3, Ruan Jacobs 2, Francois Robbertse, Siya Mdaka, Theuns Kotzé
Cons: Kotzé 6

The students scored five tries to three, with young flyhalf Wesley Roberts scoring just over half their points (21) through a try, five conversions and two penalty goals.
