Log-leaders Maties host bottom-of-the-log Tuks on Monday, while UJ meet CUT, Pukke travel to Cape Town and NMMU face Shimlas in Bloemfontein.
The 2016 Varsity Cup is into its third week, with Monday’s fixtures providing an ideal opportunity for the top three – Maties, Shimlas and UJ – to pull ahead of the pack.
Maties will be looking to consolidate their first-place position when they play Tuks in Stellenbosch.
CUT travel to Johannesburg to face UJ after claiming their first ever Varsity Cup win, against UCT, last week.
Ikeys will be looking for their first win of the season when they host Pukke at the Green Mile, while the undefeated Shimlas take on NMMU, also looking for a first win this season.
