Tuks 70 v UWC 12<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UWC drew first blood but it all went downhill from there for the home side as 3 unanswered converted five-point tries on either side of the halftime break saw Tuks hammer UWC 12-70 in Bellville. To come back from six converted tries on either side of the half time break was too much for the highly motivated and spirited home side. Tuks completed their win with a further 4 tries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
