SA Students go down to Kings

Former Ikeys wing Marcello Sampson touched down twice for the Kings

The EP Kings beat a game SA Students team including Wes Chetty and Neil Rautenbach by 36:19 on Tuesday. 

 

The EP Kings who are gearing up for the Currie Cup proved too powerful for the recently assembled students and scored five tries to three – two of which came from former Ikeys speedster Marcello Sampson. 

 

UJ's Justin Wheeler captained the students from No.8, with another three players from Johannesburg in the starting XV – as well as FNB Wits' Riaan Arends on the right-wing – and another UJ player on the bench.

The Maties, three times winners of the Varsity Cup under coach Roux, had five players in the starting line-up, with two others on the bench, whilst UCT, the 2011 Varsity Cup winners, had veteran prop Wes Chetty with hooker Neil Rautenbach coming off the bench. 

The SA students will now play Namibia in PE on Saturday.
