Three tries in the opening 20 minutes ensured a solid 47-12 for FNB UWC over FNB WSU at UWC Sports Stadium.

The men from Bellville raced to a substantial 28-0 lead at halftime courtesy of four tries by Will Vraagom, Riaan van der Merwe, Zhaun-Jacques Brynard, and Elkan Willemse. Conwill Conradie was successful with all the conversions.

UWC was running rampant with players like Conradie, Willemse, and flank forward Bilaal Moerat gaining quality ball for the home side. The team from East London had very little possession in the opening 40 minutes.

It was much of the same in the first quarter of the second half, with UWC exploiting the gaps in the WSU defensive lines.

Simthembile Zozi and Lisolethu Valisi got the only points for WSU minutes before the second strategy break. Valisi succeeded with one of his conversions.

With the victory, UWC has consolidated their position at the top of the log while WSU remains winless after four games.
