Former False Bay starter named in British and Irish Lions squad

Musikanth, driven and convinced of this man’s talent was on the line to Dad Bill, who after a while, conceded to an extension of his son’s stay and it was at this stage that the name Huw Jones began to make the rounds in match reports and around selection tables.

Musikanth accepted the position of director of rugby at UCT at the end of that year and again found himself on the telephone with Bill Jones, adamant that while an education is essential to his son’s future, a rugby career is only as long as your next tackle.

After some coaxing and of course the Varsity Cup proviso that only bona fide students may play in the competition, young Huw, at the tender age of 20, crashed through the television screens of the rugby-mad South African public, playing a pivotal role in UCT’s success that year and their remarkable return from the depths to win the final in the last move of the game.
