FNB NWU dominated territory and possession against FNB NWU to win their first match of the second bubble at the Tuks B-Field, 28-15.
 
The Eagles relied heavily on their forwards and hooker Gustav du Rand found the tryline off the back of the maul early on.
 
Scrumhalf Branden de Kock slotted a penalty for UDubs, before NWU scored their second try through lock Jeandré Leonard.
 
Flyhalf Keagan Fortune missed both conversions but slotted a penalty to make it 13-3 at half-time.
 
The start of the second half was dominated by NWU's forwards, with No 8 André Fouché going over for their third try.
 
Left wing Lungi Msenge’s converted point-of-origin try put UDubs back within striking distance of the Eagles at 20-15.
 
But NWU No 11 Charl Pretorius took the game away from them when he scored his team’s bonus-point try.
 
Fortune then kicked a penalty after UWC winger André Manuel had been sent to the sin bin for the remainder of the game.
