At TUT Stadium, Coach Kennedy Tsimba’s team left it until the second half when they battled against a hungry FNB Rhodes. As soon as Rhodes started to exert pressure on the TUT Vikings in their own half, he took the game by storm. To make it 3-0, they received a penalty. The first quarter started with the FNB Vikings getting their first try, which made the score 7-3. After the first break, both sides scored tries to make the halftime score 14-10.
The FNB TUT Vikings
The second half saw a few personnel changes from both sides. A converted try was scored within five minutes of the start of the second half by the Vikings. Callum Momberg, an experienced Rhodes Fullback, made life quite difficult for the Vikings with his strong decision-making and kicking performance.
However, in the last 10 minutes, the Vikings scored an additional try to make it 28-16. The Vikings secured a bonus point after Dieter Groenewald made four conversions.
