EG Jansen<\/strong> of Boksburg has already thrown down the gauntlet during the first round of the newly formed NWU Series<\/strong> by comprehensively defeating Ho\u00ebrskool Nelspruit<\/strong> by 41-0 in their opening match in Mbombela.<\/p>\n

The series sponsored by the North West University is a revived series as it was formerly known as the NuPower Series<\/strong> as well as the Tuks Series<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jansies’ right winger, Jaundr\u00e9 Jacobs<\/strong>, scored a hat-trick of tries while fullback, David Twala<\/strong>, and flanker Zaide Leigh<\/strong> also completed a brace of tries. Twala also converted three of his side’s tries for a personal contribution of 16 points.<\/p>\n

In a typical first match of the season Menlopark<\/strong> defeated Transvalia<\/strong> by 22-13 in Pretoria. The Parkies managed to score four tries to bag a valuable bonus point, but the team would feel that they could produce better rugby as the season progresses.<\/p>\n

Transvalia was quick out of the blocks and the try by outside centre, Siya Khambula<\/strong>, was a beauty as he drifted through the home side’s defence. Khambula sliced through Menlo’s defense a couple of times in the first half, but the team from Vanderbijlpark couldn’t fully capatilise on this.<\/p>\n

For Parkies their eighthman, Hanru Potgieter<\/strong>, put in a lot of work off the ball as well as providing the spark to help produce the victory. Their flyhalf, Marco Strydom<\/strong>, also played well, but didn’t enjoy a good day from the kicking tee.<\/p>\n

For Transvalia their flyhalf, Duan du Toit<\/strong>, showcased that he also boasts a prolific kicking boot. He kicked some long range touch finders as well as put his backline away in a swiftly manner.<\/p>\n

Eldoraigne<\/strong> secured a convincing 47-7 victory over Ho\u00ebrskool Klerksdorp<\/strong> scoring seven tries in the process. Eldos already managed to built up a comfortable 21-7 lead at the break.<\/p>\n

Klerksdorp’s HJ Erasmus<\/strong> (eighthman), Leonard Bevan (flyhalf), Lebo Wageng<\/strong> (outside centre) and Brink von Wielligh (fullback). could feel happy with their peformances on the day.<\/p>\n

The visitors from Klerksdorp won’t be happy with the outcome of the main game, but they would not be distraught after all their junior A-sides came out on top in their encounters on the day.<\/p>\n

Kempton Park<\/strong> also started their season with a victory as they came out on top by 29-25 against HTS Middelburg<\/strong>. The Kempies will be more than happy with the result as a victory in Middelburg is not always easy to achieve.<\/p>\n
