Schools Rugby

Stats show rugby still way too white in South Africa

Published

on

The lie is that rugby is transforming at schools level when you consider the statistical return of Springboks among the country’s elite rugby schools.

The Rapport newspaper’s report on the effects of professionalism on schools rugby was revealing in that 44% of the Springboks selected since 1996 came from just 25 schools. The most startling statistic was that of the 131 players who became Springboks from these schools, 119 were white!It is still a game dominated by the country’s minority.

There has to be a continued focus on this for it to ever change.

Transformation is about opportunity and clearly this isn’t happening in too many schools that focus so intensely on rugby as the premier sport. I was shocked at how few black and coloured Springboks came from the 25 elite school feeders to the Springboks.

It is also equally depressing how few black and coloured coaches we have in South African professional rugby.

Super Rugby is again an all-white affair when it comes to head coaches. There has to be an emphasis on changing this. It simply can’t continue to be so white-dominated. There was a 100-year history of black rugby before unity and yet there is so little to show for this history in the professional arena.

Black coaches struggle to get an opportunity in the professional ranks. White players retire and are coaching professionally within two or three years. It is so skewed. Too many continue to defend the status quo. It must be challenged every day of the week.

Rugby can’t be the game of the people when a minority still controls it.

And it is this minority that keeps on insisting the game is changing and transforming.

The fabric of the South African professional game remains white. The numbers don’t lie. There has been an improvement in playing squad numbers, but they are nowhere near what they should be.

In a previous column, I lamented the situation and the absolute disregard from within regions to even come close to a 50% split.

When you assess the numbers of black and coloured players selected during the opening weekend of Super Rugby, it is obvious that the Springbok World Cup squad won’t be split racially 50% black and 50% white.

This was rugby’s promise to the government in 2011 when the racial make-up of the World Cup squad was white-dominated. The problem is not with the Springboks but with the Super Rugby regions.

Every Super Rugby coach must make it a priority when it comes to black player selection. They have to give Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus the biggest possible pool of players.

This year should only be about doing what is best for the Springboks’ World Cup prospects.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work this way in South African rugby.

There have been huge improvements in communication between the national coach and regional coaches, but in a World Cup year there should be intent from each region that every sacrifice will be made to accommodate the preparations of the Springboks to send a fully transformed squad to the tournament – a transformed squad that is good enough to have a chance of glory.

SA Schools Rugby: The Springbok Factory

South African schools rugby is the foundation of the Springboks, with historic derbies like Paarl Boys High vs Paarl Gimnasium showcasing the intensity, tradition and talent pipeline that defines the game.

SA Schools rugby derby between Paarl Boys High and Paarl Gimnasium showcasing South Africa’s top schoolboy rugby rivalry

The road to 100 Springbok Test caps does not start with a professional contract. It starts at SA Schools Rugby and South Africa is blessed to have among the most powerful rugby-centric schooling institutions. The result is nine Test Centurions and four RWC titles and two third place finishes in eight tournaments since the Springboks won the 1995 World Cup on their first attempt.

SA Schools Rugby

South African rugby starts on school fields in Paarl, Newlands, Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, where reputations are made long before players earn contracts, caps or salaries.

This is where the edge is built, with rivalries more than 100 years old. This is where the journey of the greatest Springboks began and it is the playground of future Springboks and South Africa’s professional rugby elite.

The scale of the system is unmatched globally: structured leagues, nationally broadcast derbies, Easter festivals that act as early-season measuring sticks, and the annual Coca-Cola Craven Week, which remains the definitive pathway into SA Schools selection.

The Premier Schools: The heavyweights of South African rugby.

There is no officially sanctioned national ranking body in South African schools rugby. However, multiple independent platforms compile results-based rankings using fixtures, strength of schedule and head-to-head outcomes.

The most widely referenced is NextGenXV, whose final 2025 rankings are also incorporated into broader consensus rankings by platforms such as SchoolboyRugby (which combines data from NextGenXV, SA School Sports and Rugby365).

Top 20 Schools (Results-based – 2025 Final Ranking)

Rank School
1 Paarl Boys’ High
2 Paarl Gimnasium
3 Grey College
4 Affies
5 Oakdale Landbou
6 Westville
7 Paul Roos Gymnasium
8 DHS
9 Garsfontein
10 Rondebosch
11 Helpmekaar
12 Outeniqua
13 Hilton College
14 Wynberg
15 Stellenberg
16 Menlopark
17 Northwood
18 Noordheuwel
19 Boland Landbou
20 Queen’s College


The Western Cape dominates the depth conversation. Free State has Grey College and the Eastern Cape has heritage. Gauteng and KZN bring muscle, but no province matches the Western Cape for weekly jeopardy and top-20 spread.

Western Province: The Deepest Schools League in the Country

South African schools rugby’s heart beats the loudest in the Western Cape.

On a single WP Schools Day card in 2026, you get: Paarl Boys, Paarl Gim, Paul Roos, SACS, Bishops, Rondebosch, Wynberg, Boland Landbou, Durbanville and Stellenberg.

In the 2025 Top 20 rankings, the Western Cape placed eight schools in the top tier, including Paarl Boys, Paarl Gim, Oakdale, Paul Roos, Rondebosch and Wynberg.

No province produces pressure like this and no province produces Springboks like this. It is borne out by how Western Province dominated the annual Coca Cola Craven Week.

FNB Classic Clashes & King Price Derby Series

South African schoolboy rugby attracts some of the biggest sponsors, with FNB having the longest association with Schools Rugby. The additional exposure, through SuperSport’s live coverage of Schools 1st XV matches has added to the value of commercial alignment with Schools rugby.

The SuperSport Schools app has exceeded one million downloads.

The FNB Classic Clashes, launched in the early 2000s, grew from 10 fixtures to more than 50 nationwide, becoming a cornerstone of school rugby broadcasting on SuperSport Schools.

Today, the King Price Derby Series carries that torch, packaging the biggest rivalries into a national viewing product built on history, tribalism and crowd energy.

This is where schoolboy rugby becomes appointment viewing.

The Biggest Schoolboy Derbies in South Africa

This is the soul of the South African game.

Paarl Boys’ High vs Paarl Gimnasium

  • Crowd: 20,000+ regularly

  • Described as the biggest schoolboy derby in the world

Grey College vs Paul Roos Gymnasium

  • Two of the biggest Springbok-producing schools combined

Bishops vs Rondebosch

  • Bishops leads historic wins (103 vs 80, with 19 draws recorded)

Jeppe vs KES

  • Over 100 meetings; rivalry dates back to 1935

Affies vs Waterkloof

  • Began in 1987; Affies dominant historically

Hilton vs Michaelhouse

  • Played since 1904; one of KZN’s big rivalries

SACS vs Wynberg

  • Among the oldest Cape school rivalries

Boland Landbou vs Oakdale

  • The farmers’ derby physical, proud and unforgiving

Easter Rugby Festivals: The National Measuring Stick

The four major national festivals:

  • Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival

  • KES Easter Rugby Festival

  • St John’s College Easter Festival

  • St Stithians Easter Festival

  • Graeme College WildeKlawer Rugby Festival

Craven Week: Where Schoolboys Become Internationals

First played in 1964, the Coca-Cola Craven Week remains the pinnacle of schoolboy rugby.

Markus Muller: Stormers snap up SA’s top schoolboy rugby midfielder

Published

on

By

Photo: Ashley Vlotman/Gallo Images/Getty Images

The two most talked about schoolboy midfielders in South African rugby have made their post-matric moves—and the biggest winner is unquestionably the DHL Stormers with the signing of rugby golden boy Markus Muller. The Lions have pounced on Grey College’s Ethan Adams. The duo headline rugby’s Class of 2025..

Muller, the captain of Paarl Gim for the upcoming season, is not just the best schoolboy centre in the country—he’s been the standout midfielder across all schools for the last two years. With over 50 tries and try assists to his name, including more than 20 tries this season alone (four hat-tricks, three braces), the No 13 jersey in the SA Schools team seems his for the taking.

And here’s why Muller just hit the professional jackpot: He joins a Stormers backline that boasts Damian Willemse and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, two of the most gifted Springboks of the modern era. Whether playing inside or outside of this generational duo, Muller will be learning and linking with the best.

Cape Town Strikes Gold Again with Markus Muller

The Stormers didn’t just get Muller. The Western Cape conveyor belt is buzzing, and head coach John Dobson is keeping the local flavour strong with a serious intake of regional talent.

Joining Muller in Cape Town next year are:

  • Quintin Potgieter (Paarl Gim, loose forward)

  • Alutha Wesi (Rondebosch, loose forward)

  • Randall-John Davids (Rondebosch, centre)

  • Matt van der Merwe (Rondebosch, prop)

  • Jordan Steenkamp (Paul Roos, wing)

  • Altus Rabe (Paul Roos, hooker)

  • Gert Kemp (Paul Roos, loose forward)

  • Yaqeen Ahmed (Wynberg, flyhalf)

  • Jayden Brits (Boland Landbou, scrumhalf)

  • AJ Meyer (Grey College, lock)

MULLER STARS FOR PAARL GIM IN 2025

Dobson’s message is clear: build from within, strengthen the Western Province schools-to-Stormers pathway, and back the region’s talent.

“This speaks to our aim of harnessing the talent we have on our doorstep,” Dobson said. “We want our fans to see their players, from their communities, making it with the Stormers.”

Dobson also emphasized that while the focus is local, the Stormers remain alert to top-tier prospects from outside the region.

“We will make strategic acquisitions from around the country if they can make a big difference.”

The Battle of the Midfield Stars: Muller vs Adams

While Muller heads to the coast, Ethan Adams, the powerful outside centre from Grey College, is heading north to join the Lions. Adams, originally from Kareedouw in the Eastern Cape, has also starred in the SA Schools setup and was a standout at last year’s U18 Craven Week.

Both players will be tracked closely in their rookie professional seasons—but it’s Muller’s opportunity to slot into a backline with established Boks and gamebreakers that has him leading the headlines.

The Stormers Development Dream

Muller follows in the footsteps of a who’s who of Western Province-developed stars. Names like Damian Willemse, Salmaan Moerat, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, JD Schickerling, and Suleiman Hartzenberg all came through the Western Province pathway.

Now it’s Muller’s turn.

Our Verdict: The Stormers didn’t just sign a schoolboy star. They signed the schoolboy star—Markus Muller. And with Willemse and Feinberg-Mngomezulu in the mix, Cape Town may have just locked in its next great midfielder.

“All of the players performed well at Craven Week, and they showed that they can play an exciting brand of rugby. I was particularly impressed with the resilience and character they showed during the week and I am very excited to work with them.

Kaplan hails Paul Roos team ‘once in a generation’

Published

on

By

South Africa’s most experienced Test referee Jonathan Kaplan is also among the most respected authorities on schoolboy rugby.  Kaplan, on his Twitter feed, described this season’s Paul Roos side as a ‘once in a generation’ team.

Paul Roos, unbeaten in 11 matches, smashed Paarl Boys High 44-8, just a fortnight after hammering Paarl Gim 32-13 at Paarl Gim.

Kaplan, who has refereed 165 different schools First XV’s, emphasised the quality of this year’s team when he said he hadn’t seen anything like it for a decade. Kaplan still referees a Schools match every Saturday.

Paarl Boys High have been the most dominant team in South Africa for the past three years, but this season the cycle was broken with defeat against Grey College and the whipping at Stellenbosch against Paul Roos.

Grey Kollege also kept their unbeaten status with a come from behind late surge to score two tries in the final five minutes and beat Affies. Grey raced to a 22-0 lead and Affies were outstanding in clawing back the deficit to lead 28-27 going into the final few minutes. Grey then scored twice to win 39-28.

Paul Roos and Grey College are without question the leading two teams in South Africa this season, with Paarl Gim and Glenwood and (probably) Paarl Boys completing the top 5.

Paul Roos will travel to Grey College in Bloemfontein on August 18 for the most anticipated Schools match of the season.

Glenwood are also unbeaten in KZN and were dominant at the Kearsney and Wildeklawer festivals. They recently beat Affies and at the weekend scored their most impressive win of the year with a 49-22 dismantling of the traditional powerhouse Monument.

Glenwood plays Grey College on August 4.

Boland Landbou, in the Western Cape, beat Bishops 24-14, Rondebosch were too strong for Durbanville High 30-15, Stellenberg downed SACS 25-22 at Newlands, scoring a converted try in the last five minutes. Paalr Gim also beat Oakdale 47-38.

Published

Most of SA’s top schools were in action this weekend at either the Wildeklawer Festival in Kimberley or the Grey High Festival in Port Elizabeth. Grey College and Paul Roos were the two stand out teams. Paarl Boys High also had to fight to stay unbeaten in coming from 14-5 down to beat Affies 19-14.

Grey College on Friday put 45 points past HTS Drotsdy and on Monday accounted for Monument 36-21. Paul Roos were in demolition mode as they swatted aside Menlopark 68-25 on Saturday and on Monday whipped Waterkloof 63-12.

Paarl Gim also remained unbeaten with a thrilling 34-31 win against Monument on Saturday and 24-7 against Welkom Gim on Monday.

Paarl Boys High, unbeaten in South Africa against South African opposition for the past three years, hammered Waterkloof 53-10 early in the tournament. But on Monday late afternoon they had it tough against Affies. Boshaai produced a very strong last quarter to turn a 14-5 deficit into a 19-14 win.

Affies started the festival with a 38-14 win against Boland Landbou.

Glenwood were also in good form at Wildeklawer while at the Grey High Festival it was Selborne who made a huge impression.

World Schools Festival comes to an emphatic end

Published

on

PAARL, 7 April 2018 – The weeklong Oakland World Schools Festival came to an emphatic end with a sold-out Paarl Boishaai’s Brug Street Stadium being treated to high-quality and entertaining schoolboy rugby on Saturday.

The festival lived up to its aspirations of creating camaraderie among rugby-loving schoolboys from around the world sharing knowledge and experiences.

The tournament featured 10 of the top schools in South Africa and 10 of the best school teams from around the world.

The final day was characterised by tight battles, the odd runaway victory and edge-of-your seat entertaining rugby.

The final schoolboy game of the day between Paarl Boys’ High School and Christchurch Boys’ High provided the hosts an opportunity to exact revenge on the New Zealand side.

Christchurch Boys’ High spoilt Boishaai’s spotless record in New Zealand last year, when they beat the South Africans 38-36.

Revenge was sweet for the South African side, and while the score line may suggest they found easy access across the advantage line, it was anything but a walk in the park.

Boishaai brought the curtain down on the celebrations claiming a 28-7 victory over the touring side and gave the ardent local supporters much to cheer about.

The South African sides walked away with the inaugural Oakland Cup trophy, a Ryder Cup-style contest between South Africa and the Rest of the World.

The home sides will have the bragging rights for the next year after beating the Rest of the World 36-4.

Carinat Sports Marketing Managing Director and ex-Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer announced the tournament would return in 2019 from March 24 to 29 and the venue would be revealed in due course.

“The festival surpassed all expectations and it was a humbling experience to see rugby-loving countries, from the giants to the so-called minnows, share our passion for the game,” Meyer said.

Grey College clobber Christchurch Boys’ High and Boshaai lose to Argentina

Published

on

Day two of the the World Schools festivals saw some enormous scores, most notably Grey College’s 66-28 thumping of Christchurch Boys High and Paarl Gim’s 84-0 romping of USA’s Rhinos, while hosts Paarl Boys were downed 19-10 by a strong Jaguares side in their first loss on home turf in three years, putting a bit of a dampener on their 150th celebrations.

 

Action galore on day two of rugby fest

PAARL, 4 April 2018 – The second day of the Oakland World Schools Festival tilted towards equilibrium as the international teams launched a comeback in the latter part of the programme.

The South African one-way traffic from the day before flowed into the early matches on Wednesday with the overseas sides suffering defeats early on in the day.

The South Africans extended their lead in the “Oakland Cup”, a Ryder Cup-style contest between South Africa and the Rest of the World.

The format ensures that each match counts, where two points will count towards a win and a draw is worth one point.

The home sides lead the competition 16-4 so far in the tournament.

The week-long festival features some of the most promising schoolboy talents from around the globe.

The South African sides did not quite have it their way with two international sides beating two of South Africa’s top rugby schools.

Hosts Paarl Boys’ High School suffered their first defeat on home soil in three years when they suffered a 19-10 defeat to Argentina.

The match ultimately came down to Argentina flyhalf Exequiel Alegra-Chedied’s boot as he converted their only try while slotting three penalties.

It was only the second South African defeat of the tournament after Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool bowed their knee to Hartpury College from Gloucestershire, England.

The English side was full of value as they secured a 26-15 victory over Affies scoring four tries to the two by the Pretoria school side.

Piers Hamer, Bailey Wahs, Joe Howard and Josh Phipps scored a five-pointer each with Dan Cole converting three.

Affies’ points came courtesy of tries by Stephan Alberts and Jason Scheepers with Regardt Roets slotting a conversion kick and a penalty.

Grey College brought the second day to an emphatic end with Grey College beating Christchurch Boys’ High 66-28 in a mouth-watering encounter.

The match was the best advertisement of what schoolboy rugby is all about with both teams playing with reckless abandon producing high-quality action.

It was wall-to-wall action with Grey College racing to a 26-0 lead within 13 minutes with Franco Smith, Ian Small-Smith and De Wet Marais each crossing the whitewash.

Christchurch mounted a fight-back with George Harding, Cullen Moody and Ryan Barnes scoring for the visitors.

Fleet-footed Grey outside centre Wyclef Vitoor with possibly the try of the tournament so far when he stepped his way over the advantage for his five-pointer before Marais scored his hat-trick shortly before the break.

The New Zealand side fought gallantly but they could not keep up with the skill and the pace Grey produced on the night.

The bleeding stopped by the third match when the Africa Pacific Dragons provided some serious resistance against Hilton College.

The Dragons, with a few South African players in their midst, lay down the challenge with a haka before the start of the match before going down 35-24 in a close match.

Made up of schoolboys from Samoa, Tonga and Fiji, and local players, the Dragons were the first international team to take a lead in any of the matches so far during the tournament.

The match could have gone any way with one point separating the sides with 12 minutes to go in the match.

Niaan Taljaard’s hat-trick try in the 64th minute and a penalty conversion courtesy of Gareth Schreuder clinched the victory for the team from the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.

In the opening match of the day, Glenwood High School raced to a half-century of points to beat the Italian All-Stars 53-10.

Scrumhalf Jaden Hendrikse was one of the star performers on the day scoring a five-pointer while converting five of his team’s seven tries and kicking two penalties.

The second match was a one-sided affair as Paarl Gimnasium went on a rampage against American side, Rhinos Rugby, scoring 84 unanswered points which included 12 tries.

Flyhalf Jurie Matthee made a massive contribution to the score line with his metronomic boot converting all tries including his own five-pointer.
