Stellenbosch - Maties have claimed a vital 26-16 bonus-point win against NMMU in Stellenbosch to keep their FNB Varsity Cup presented by Steinhoff International play-off hopes alive.
The home side were forced to come from behind at the Danie Craven Stadium, and a convincing second-half performance was enough to move them up to move up to fifth place on the standings with just one round remaining before the play-offs.
The hosts struck first as all-action flank Beyers de Villiers opened their account after the ball was worked wide following some good phase play.
