The Ikeys celebrating their victory in getting into the final of the Varsity Cup.

EVEN if you aren’t a sports fan, you have to appreciate a good sports comeback, especially when it’s as awesome as this South African rugby team scoring three tries in five minutes.

Behind 33-15 with only minutes to go, it looked like it was over for the ITC Ikeys in the South African Varsity Cup final before a few freak plays saw the university team score three tries in quick succession.

The last try was particularly impressive, coming from a great side step and brilliant flick pass to a team mate to run home for the try.

Words really can’t do this justice, watch the final minutes below to see this unbelievable comeback.

Great come back. Foolish play by Pukke by not kicking it out when when they had the chance.

That's what I was thinking, number one thing drilled into any team, if you're in front and the siren's gone, get rid of the damn ball!

I guessed they just panicked.

Or maybe they were going for the showboat finish. Anyway it's a lesson they won't forget. Thanks for sharing.

Yep. Great comeback. Silly mistake by Pukke cost them the match. Should have kicked it out.
