UJ go down in dramatic finish

FNB UJ suffered a last-gasp defeat at the hands of a fired-up Impala team in Rustenberg on Saturday.

The Men from Johannesburg went down 24-26 to a late Josh Finlay try, having scored three tries of their own through right-wing Deon Assegaai, flyhalf Arno Coetzee and No.8 Sisa Mafu.

Coetzee was not able to convert any of the tries, but he did add three penalty goals.

However, those points were not enough as Finlay managed to dot down under the uprights after his long-range try, the students having held a 24-19 lead against the run of play up till then.

Deon Assegaai, Arno Coetzee, Sisa Mafu
