The FNB Madibaz fell short in their Varsity Cup semi-final clash against Varsity College at the NMU Stadium on Friday.
The team from NMU came out firing in the first half to go into the half-time break with a healthy 17-3 lead.
But, a half-time team talk saw the visitors from Varsity College turn the tables on their opponents, running out eventual 24-20 winners and a spot in the final.
This was despite losing to the Madibaz two weeks ago.

Varsity College will meet UP Tuks in the final after they thrashed WSU All Blacks by 80 points to 14 in a one-sided affair.
Captain Abande Mthembu praised his charges in the post-match interview, saying he would be looking forward to the clash against Tuks.
Tuks head coach Dewey Swartbooi said that they would treat their match against WSU like it was a final.
FULL TIME and @TuksSport are through to the FNB Varsity Shield final after an emphatic 12 try victory over the WSU All Blacks in Pretoria.
