The University of the Free State Shilmas and the University of Pretoria Tuks will play host to the UCT Ikeys and the North West University Pukke in the semi-finals of the Varsity Cup.
Last night Tuks hammers the Madibaz 40-8 in Port Elizabeth to secure their spot at the top of the log.
The Champion, the Ikeys beat a spirited UJ 8-0 at the Green Mile to keep their title defence alive.
Bloemfontein the CUT Ixias got thumped 53-8 by the fifth placed Maties to end their campaign without a win in the competition.
Also in the City of Roses, the Shimlas became just the second team to finish the round robins unbeaten with a hard fought 29-26 win over their bitter rivals, Pukke.
Shimlas flank, Gerhard Olivier who was once again named as the player that rocks, for his two tries told OFM Sport that next weeks’ knockout match against the Ikeys will be a different ball game.
Shimlas will host the Ikeys in Bloemfontein next Monday at 16:45, while Tuks face Pukke in Pretoria at 19:00.
