The Maties are a South African rugby union team from the Stellenbosch University in the Western Cape who compete in the FNB Varsity Cup.
History
[edit]The students of Stellenbosch University are nicknamed "Maties". The term probably arises from the Afrikaans word "tamatie" (meaning tomato, and referring to the maroon sport uniforms and blazer colour).[citation needed] An alternative theory is that the term comes from the Afrikaans colloquialism maat (meaning "buddy" or "mate") originally used diminutively ("maatjie") by the students of the University of Cape Town's precursor, the South African College.[1]
Stadium
[edit]Rivalries
[edit]The Maties main rivalry is with University of Cape Town's Ikey Tigers. The rivalry is fuelled by the relative geographical proximity of the two universities, and their status as the two top universities in the Western Cape. This rivalry is further intensified by the fact that they are the two most successful teams in the competition and have competed two finals against each other. Matches between these two teams draw large crowds and are normally televised on SuperSport.
