The tournament (also known as the FNB Varsity Cup presented by Steinhoff International for sponsorship reasons) was the fifth season of the Varsity Cup, an annual inter-university rugby union competition featuring eight South African universities. The tournament was won by UP Tuks for the first time; they beat Maties 29–21 in the final played on 9 April 2012. TUT Vikings were automatically relegated to the second-tier Varsity Shield competition for 2013, but UCT Ikey Tigers won their relegation play-off match against CUT Ixias to remain in the Varsity Cup for 2013. Scoring All four 2012 Varsity Rugby competitions will use a different scoring system to the regular system. Tries will be worth five points as usual, but conversions will be worth three points, while penalties and drop goals will only be worth two points.VC Rugby 'points' ahead varsitycup.co.za 2011-11-17 http://www.varsitycup.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4644:varsity-cup-rugby-points-the-way-forward&catid=27:varsity-cup-news&Itemid=5 2011-11-17 3 February 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140203054332/http://www.varsitycup.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4644:varsity-cup-rugby-points-the-way-forward&catid=27:varsity-cup-news&Itemid=5 dead Varsity Cup 2012 Varsity Cup South Africa 6 February – 9 April 2012 UP Tuks 1 Maties TUT Vikings 31 234 Wesley Dunlop (83) Chrysander Botha / Andrew van Wyk (9) 2011 2013 Competition Rules There are eight participating universities in the 2012 Varsity Cup. These teams will play each other once over the course of the season, either home or away. Teams receive four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points are awarded to teams that score four or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lose a match by seven points or less. Teams are ranked by log points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded). The top four teams will qualify for the title play-offs. In the semi-finals, the team that finishes first will have home advantage against the team that finishes fourth, while the team that finishes second will have home advantage against the team that finishes third. The winners of these semi-finals will play each other in the final, at the home venue of the higher-placed team. The team that finishes eighth in the Varsity Cup will be relegated to the 2013 Varsity Shield. The team that finishes seventh in the Varsity Cup will play a promotion/relegation match against the second-placed Varsity Shield team for a place in the 2013 Varsity Cup.http://www.varsitycup.co.za/index.php/footer-links-5/vc-competition-rules/4698-vc-competition-rules-2012 Varsity Cup Competition Rules 2012 varsitycup.co.za 2012-04-09 https://archive.today/20130421225519/http://www.varsitycup.co.za/index.php/footer-links-5/vc-competition-rules/4698-vc-competition-rules-2012 2013-04-21 dead Teams South Africa right 425 Location of teams in the 2012 Varsity Cup South Africa Red pog.svg -33.940080 18.873525 Maties South Africa Red pog.svg -34.009252 25.679051 NMMU Madibaz South Africa Red pog.svg -26.693162 27.100284 NWU Pukke left South Africa Red pog.svg -25.734155 28.161387 TUT Vikings left South Africa Red pog.svg -33.959050 18.462648 UCT Ikey Tigers left South Africa Red pog.svg -29.108672 26.172352 UFS Shimlas left South Africa Red pog.svg -26.178286 27.992494 UJ left South Africa Red pog.svg -25.750959 28.248736 UP Tuks right The following teams took part in the 2012 Varsity Cup competition: 2012 Varsity Cup teams Team Name University Stadium Maties Stellenbosch University Danie Craven Stadium NMMU Madibaz Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University NMMU Stadium NWU Pukke North-West University Fanie du Toit Stadium TUT Vikings Tshwane University of Technology TUT Stadium UCT Ikey Tigers University of Cape Town UCT Rugby Fields UFS Shimlas University of the Free State Shimla Park UP Tuks University of Pretoria LC de Villiers Stadium UJ University of Johannesburg UJ Stadium Standings 2012 Varsity Cup LogTeamPlayedWonDrawnLostPoints ForPoints AgainstPoints DifferenceTries ForTries AgainstTry BonusLosing BonusPoints 1 UP Tuks 7 6 0 1 244 118 +126 31 16 5 1 30 2 Maties 7 6 1 0 206 84 +122 28 10 3 0 29 3 UJ 7 4 1 2 270 118 +152 35 15 5 1 24 4 NWU Pukke 7 4 1 2 237 163 +74 32 21 5 1 24 5 NMMU Madibaz 7 3 0 4 233 240 -7 33 33 4 0 16 6 UFS Shimlas 7 2 0 5 188 257 -69 22 34 2 1 11 7 UCT Ikey Tigers 7 1 1 5 164 195 -31 23 25 2 1 9 8 TUT Vikings 7 0 0 7 82 449 -367 10 60 2 0 2 The top 4 teams qualified for the semi-finals.The seventh-placed team played in the promotion/relegation play-offs.The bottom team was relegated.Points breakdown:*4 points for a win*2 points for a draw*1 bonus point for a loss by seven points or less*1 bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match Fixtures and results Fixtures are subject to change.
