Maties tinker with front row
27 Mar 2010
Johan Roets is the only new face in the Stellenbosch starting line-up while UCT keep their semi-final winning team intact.
Roets replaces Mike De Neuilly-Rice at loosehead prop who will drop to the bench. Maties also welcome back loose forward Cameron Peverett who missed the semi-final against Pukke with an ankle injury. Peverett will sit on the bench.
UCT coach John Dobson has decided to retain his matchday squad as the Ikeys go looking for their first title. They lost the 2008 final 16-10 at the Danie Craven Stadium.

Wow. So Roets came back from retirement, bulked up, and enrolled in Maties. Nice.

This Varsity Cup might end up making the Vodacom tourny look like a boring afterthought. Two Province clubs in the final has to mean something!
