He also played Varsity Cup rugby for the UCT Ikey Tigers since 2011, winning the competition with them twice in 2011 (during which he made just one appearance, but was named on the bench for the final) and 2014, when he made nine appearances and played the first 72 of the final as they secured a dramatic 39–33 comeback victory.
