FNB UJ might have handed FNB Maties their first Varsity Cup defeat of the season on Monday night, but the maroon machine still secured a home semi-final.

Maties rang in the changes for the match against UJ to give some of their first team players a rest ahead of their semi-final clash against FNB Tuks next Monday. UJ won the match 42-16.

And now, after four rounds of rugby action at neutral venues, Varsity Cup will be concluded at the various qualifying universities' campuses.

"We are extremely happy to be able to take the semi-finals and finals of Varsity Cup back to the universities," says Varsity Cup CEO Duitser Bosman.

"The supporters and the 'gees' they bring is at the heart of Varsity Cup and we look forward to end this year's tournament with thousands of fans supporting their teams, on their home grounds. The competition belongs on campus and we're happy to see it return home," concludes Bosman.

The semi-finals for Varsity Cup are scheduled for Monday, 4 April 2016. Log leaders FNB Maties will play FNB Tuks at the Danie Craven Stadium. The match will kick off at 19:00 and will be broadcast live on SuperSport 1. FNB UJ and FNB NWU-Pukke will meet in the second semi-final in Johannesburg.
