Bloemfontein - The Central University of Technology Ixias will be playing in next years’ Varsity Cup after beating former All Black coach John Mitchells’ UKZN Impi 35-26 in the final of the Varsity Shield in Bloemfontein.
The Ixias ran in four tries to three to win their third Varsity Shield title in a final which was tighter than the score suggests.
