World Schools Festival comes to an emphatic end
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.

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.
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).

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.

South Africa’s State of Origin – our Schools system works
The elite layer is concentrated but across the Bulls, Lions, Sharks and Stormers there are 64 schools represented. That tells you the base of the South African game is broad and that the state of Origin on this celebratory United Rugby Championship Origin weekend is healthy.
The natural feeder system is in Paarl and Stellenbosch. It has always been the case with Paarl Boys High, Paarl Gim, Paul Roos and Boland Landbou producing elite professional players with each matric cycle.
Grey College, in the past 30 years, has owned the title of a Springboks and professional rugby player factory more than any other school in the country. Others, like Boshaai, Gim and Paul Roos are always present, but over this period Grey College has produced the greatest number.
In this URC season, Grey College and Boshaai share the top spot of providing 18 players, split across all four South African URC clubs.
Krugersdorp’s Monument (Lions) and Bishops (Stormers) are a celebration of home grown talent graduating from schoolboy to professional rugby without having to relocate, while the traditional rugby powerhouses in Kwazulu-Natal (Glenwood, Hilton, Westville and Maritzburg College) continue to make a statement that local is lekker in KZN.
The Bulls, of the four SA clubs, have the most extensive recruitment drive, and have over the years consistently been leaders in securing the most sought after talent, be it out of school or at a later stage.
Bloemfontein, by way of Grey College, and Paarl, are greater feeders for the Bulls, who have not relied exclusively on the Schools Big Five. Many a player from local schools has proven good enough to be contracted.
The Stormers will also feel they’ve been true to realism in their recruitment because there are only so many players who can be signed and the core of the country’s elite talent comes out of the Western Cape.
The fact that these players are willing to relocate and are so sought after is what ensures a balance in domestic strength, which is illustrated in this season’s URC SA Shield. With two rounds to play, any one of the four teams could win the Shield. The final SA derby is played at Loftus between the Bulls and Stormers, and the Shield winner could come down to this match.
There could also be a situation where all four teams end on three wins from six.

The elite layer is concentrated, with Grey College and Boshaai the most prominent producers of professional players, but the good news story is a reach that extends to another 62 schools.
What it says to me is that if you are good enough you will make it, regardless of the school you attended.
One only has to look at the composition of the back to back World Cup-winning Springboks to have this point reinforced. So many of those gold medal winners did not come through the elite and premier rugby schooling institutions.
The URC’s Origin weekend is a celebration of a player’s roots, and an acknowledgement of where it all started, but it is also a statement of what is good in the schools system in South African rugby.

-
Stormers: 2
Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies) 4
-
Bulls: 1
-
Sharks: 1
-
Lions: 1
-
Stormers: 1
The deeper story is:
-
64 schools represented
-
37 schools with one player
-
11 schools with two players
-
The rest clustered at three and above
So what does it tell us?
First, the elite rugby factories still dominate the professional pipeline. Grey and Paarl Boys are not historical brands they are current production leaders. Paarl Boys High, Paul Roos, Paarl Gim, Bishops and Grey College remain structurally embedded in the Stormers and Bulls pathways. Monument underpins the Lions and Glenwood, Westville and Maritzburg sustain the Sharks.
Second, recruitment has shifted. The Bulls are the most nationally constructed squad: eight from Grey, four from Paarl Gim, three from Paarl Boys, two from Paul Roos. Pretoria contracts beyond provincial borders better than any other franchise.
Third, accessibility remains real. Thirty-seven schools have one representative. That is opportunity and shows that the pathway is not closed but very competitive.
What the numbers from Origin weekend confirm is that the factor model works and that the professional door remains open to any player who is good enough.

Weekend Wrap: Boishaai – the kings of Paarl!
Paarl Boys’ High celebrated a famous victory against Paarl Gimnasium while there were also notable wins for Oakdale Landbou, Queen’s College, DHS, Affies and Jeppe on Saturday.
Trailing 33-21 with just seven minutes to play, Boishaai produced a stunning fightback, crossing for two late tries.
Centre Tristan Joubert scored the decisive try in the 66th minute, before Iwan Jordaan calmly slotted the conversion to complete the comeback.
For Gim, SA Schools centre Markus Muller was a standout performer, scoring a try and adding three conversions and four penalties, but even his heroics couldn’t prevent the blue-and-white celebrations.
Both teams finish with a 16-1 record for the season, with Boishaai’s derby win giving them the unofficial No 1 SA schools ranking.
Meanwhile, the only team to beat Paarl Boys’ this year, Oakdale Landbou, completed their season with a memorable 21-17 victory against Paul Roos Gimnasium. The hosts led 12-5 at the break.
In Gauteng, Jeppe beat KES 39-31 in the 100th meeting between the schools, Affies thrashed Waterkloof 64-19 and Noordheuwel beat Noordvaal Cup champions Garsfontein 28-22.
In the Eastern Cape, Queen’s edged Selborne 31-28 and Grey High went down 48-15 to Grey College, while DHS defeated Northwood 36-5 in a KwaZulu-Natal clash.
Currie Cup
Bulls ruthless, Lions composed, Griquas bold, and Cheetahs bounce back
The second round of the Carling Currie Cup served up big wins, heavy hits, and a comeback for the ages.
The Vodacom Bulls were in a different class in Pretoria, dishing out a 64-0 hiding to the Hollywoodbets Sharks XV. It was brutal, clinical and complete six tries in each half, a mauling that leaves the Durban side still scoreless after two rounds.
Earlier in the day, the Fidelity ADT Lions showed composure and power to outplay DHL Western Province 40-19 at Ellis Park. WP scored first, but the Lions hit back hard and controlled the tempo. It’s now two wins from two for the Joburg side.
Toyota Cheetahs, stung by their opening-round loss, found their rhythm in Bloem. Jandre Nel’s four-try performance powered them past the Airlink Pumas 42-25 in a match they led from the front. The Pumas had moments but lacked the control to finish.
But the story of the weekend came out of Kimberley. Suzuki Griquas, trailing 34-19 at halftime, launched a second-half blitz to beat the Sanlam Boland Kavaliers 48-39. Caleb Abrahams scored twice, Derik Pretorius sealed it late, and the crowd got their money’s worth.
After two rounds, the Bulls and Lions lead the log with 10 points apiece. The Cheetahs follow on seven, then Boland and the Pumas on six. Griquas are next with five, while WP and the Sharks are still looking for their first points.
Round 3 kicks off Friday with Griquas hosting WP in Kimberley. The Bulls face the Pumas, Sharks take on the Cheetahs, and Boland welcome the Lions to Wellington on Sunday.
Wallabies hit back in wet Sydney finale
The Wallabies salvaged pride with a 22–12 win over the Lions in a storm-delayed third Test in Sydney. Tries from Pietsch, Jorgensen and McDermott gave Australia control, while the Lions already 2–0 up in the series never hit their stride. Will Stuart and Jac Morgan crossed late, but it wasn’t enough.
Australia avoid the whitewash. The Lions take the series, but leave with bruises and questions.

Weekend Preview: All Roads lead to Paarl
There’s no rugby match in South Africa this weekend bigger than Paarl Gim vs Paarl Boys’ High. It’s not a fixture – it’s identity. It’s family. It’s blood. Here’s your weekend preview:
Paarl Derby
Faure Street Stadium will be packed for the derby that means everything in the Winelands. Forget rankings. Forget the Boks. This is the one that counts.
Gim arrive unbeaten in 16, powered by Stormers-bound Markus Muller – scoring, kicking, tackling, creating. Boishaai have 15 wins of their own and, as Keo says, a handful of future Test Springboks will be on the field.
Gim hammered Boys’ High 30-8 last year, but history warns against reading into form. This game doesn’t care for predictions. It writes its own story.
Gim vs Boishaai: The Real Big One
And a nod to Keo’s favourite, Boishaai (Old Boy) No 10 Jack Cloete – who played 9 and 10 earlier this week and wears the family name with pride.
Currie Cup
Bulls out to batter bruised Sharks
The Bulls return to Loftus flying high after subduing WP in Cape Town. The Sharks, meanwhile, are still licking their wounds from a 44-3 hammering by the Lions.
Last year’s semi-final thriller ended 40-all, but this Bulls side looks more settled. The Sharks will need something special to avoid another bruising.
Castle Lager, Springboks, you & your bestie … a match made in rugby heaven
Cheetahs look to bounce back in Bloem
Frans Steyn’s side need a response after that Boland ambush. But the Pumas arrive confident after easing past Griquas.
The Cheetahs took last year’s final, but the Pumas beat them twice in the SA Cup. This one’s a toss-up.
Lions licking their lips
The Lions were ruthless against the Sharks and will back themselves to put WP away.
Province haven’t beaten the Lions since March 2023 and looked lost against the Bulls. Another tough afternoon looms.
Boland eye back-to-back upsets
Boland’s dramatic win over the Cheetahs has injected belief. Griquas have bossed this fixture in recent years, but Hawies Fourie’s men are starting to believe.
Lions eye whitewash, Wallabies cling to pride
The Lions head into Saturday’s final Test in Sydney chasing a 3–0 series sweep a feat last achieved in Australia over a century ago. Andy Farrell’s side is largely unchanged, while the Wallabies turn to experience with Nic White in his final Test. The series is won, but pride, history, and one last battle remain.

Why 2025 the Paarl rugby derby is so big for the class of 2020
They are the lost matric generation: The Covid Kids. The ones who in 2020 missed out on the biggest rugby match of their schooling: Paarl Boys High versus Paarl Gimnasium. This is why in 2025 the Paarl rugby derby is so big for the class of 2020, writes Mark Keohane.
This was unfinished business for the class of 2020.
It’s been a long five year wait for them to participate in the Old Boys’ derby week when the two renowned schooling institutions, and two of the most famed, in producing Springboks, square up to determine who gets to walk Paarl’s 11 kilometre Main Street with the broader shoulders in 2026.
Craig Cloete is my oldest and dearest friend. He was a fine schools rugby player and under 20s international. Then the knee went and club cricket was his outlet, aligned to a working profession.
His son Jack Cloete, formerly of Gene Louw primary school, and of Boshaai, played everything as a junior for Western Province, be it cricket, rugby or golf. The latter became his chosen game as rugby, post school, took a back seat.
But the seduction of the derby week and the five year frustration of what so many from both schools missed in 2020 was luring enough to get the young Cloete back on the rugby field in the past month, back in training and ready for the class of 2020 to finally make a statement.
Cloete, a No 10 who was/is as comfortable at No 9, turned back the clock along with some of his best mates as Boshaai triumphed against their greatest and closest rivals.
As everyone who has attended both schools says, it matters more to be No 1 in Paarl than in South Africa.
Both schools often sit one or two in the national school rankings. This season Gimmies, let by the most talked about schoolboy in the past decade, outside centre Markus Muller, are unbeaten in 16 matches. They are coached by former Springboks winger Pieter Rossouw and they are favourites to add to last year’s 30-8 win.
Boshaai have won 15 from 16 and with Sean Erasmus back at the helm as Director of Rugby, it is going to be a lot closer than last year.
Erasmus enjoyed five successive derby wins in his first stint at the school before joining the Lions and heading up the under 20 programme and being part of the senior team’s coaching group.
Since he has returned, so has the consistency and mojo of Boshaai.
Saturday will be huge, as it always is when these two rugby giants clash. The schools have combined for 58 Springboks and both have representation in the current World Cup-winning Springboks squad.
Injured Springboks loose-forward Cameron Hanekom has been in Paarl this week and his presence proved inspirational as Boishaai won.
The victory though was not in the result but in the occasion of finishing something that should have happened five years ago.
Those matrics, like every matric class in the country, were robbed of their crowning moment on the sports field.
For the likes of young Jumping Jack and his mates, it was that they finally got the opportunity to write their final schools rugby chapter.

Markus Muller: Stormers snap up SA’s top schoolboy rugby midfielder
The two most talked about schoolboy midfielders in South African rugby have made their post-matric movesand 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 countryhe’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 seasonsbut 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 starMarkus Muller. And with Willemse and Feinberg-Mngomezulu in the mix, Cape Town may have just locked in its next great midfielder.

Paul Roos lead Western Cape charge in stunning North/South Schools festival
Paul Roos Gimnasium made a rugby statement at the famed Markotter Fields in the NMI Toyota Noord-Suid Schools Rugby Festival. Winners on the field, the school was even big victors off it for the magnificent hosting, writes Mark Keohane.
Schools rugby in South Africa is strong, but in the Western Cape it is particularly potent and the local teams, led by the hosts, were powerful over the four-day event, in which each team played two 1st XV and 2nd XV matches respectively.
Paul Roos, unbeaten in 2024, edged last Saturday night and they put the finishing touches to a brilliant Schools extravaganza in beating Noordheuwel 26-19 in the final match on Tuesday evening. A massive crowd ensured festivities would end on a high, while SuperSport Schools provided non-stop live coverage of every 1st XV match. Paul Roos, earlier in the festival, edged Garsfontein 34-32.
On Tuesday night, left wing Jordan Steenkamp scored three tries, while Zander Smit also got a hat trick for Grey College against Jeppe.
Traditional South African schools powerhouses Grey College, two from two, exacted revenge on Jeppe for a 2024 defeat, triumphing 64-31 and Paarl Gimnasium were imposing over the Festival, with a 102-0 demolition of KES and a 66-16 whipping of Monument . Paarl Gim also fielded their second team and a Paarl Gim XV in a testament to their depth.
Paarl Gim 1st XV centre and captain Markus Muller was the standout back on display, getting hat tricks in both wins, and taking his season tally to 11 tries in four matches.

Paarl Boys High were also two from two in defeating northern foes Waterkloof 66-0 and Affies 25-17 in Monday’s marquee match, while Western Province’s southern suburbs duo of Rondebosch Boys High and SACS were also unbeaten in their two matches.
Durbanville High, with two impressive wins, continued to reward the investment in their rugby programme and Boland Landbou and Outeniqua were predictably good.
Oakdale, not surprisingly, were good.
The organisation of the event was world class, the rugby facilities are among the finest on the planet and the backdrop sits comfortably with most scenic mountain ranges.
The rugby talent on display, in the 1st and 2nd team matches, showcased South Africa’s natural breeding ground for producing outstanding rugby player, in every position, in so many schools, north or south.
CHECK OUT THYS LOMBAARD’S VISUALS FROM THE FESTIVAL
I enjoyed Monday’s afternoon/early evening matches and future Springboks will come from this festival and a host of players will make the transition into professional rugby. Don’t be surprised to see some even play international rugby for other countries if history is the barometer.

Stats show rugby still way too white in South Africa
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.

Schools Rugby
SA Schools predominantly WP
10 of the 30 squad members of the SA Schools side come from Western Province, who beat the Sharks 47-8 in the unofficial Craven Week final.
Coached by Sean Erasmus, the side will get their Aon U18 International Series started at Boland Landbou, then move on to Stellenberg to face France, concluding their tournament in Newlands at SACS.
Notably, former Bok centre Brendan Venter’s son, Brendan Junior has been included (from WP), as has referee Marius Jonker’s son Rynhardt Jonker (from the Sharks).
“I am very happy with the quality of the players in the squad,” said Erasmus.
“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.
“The experience and leadership that the players such as Adrian, Celimpilo and Banele will bring is also good as they will set the pace and intensity at training.

Kaplan hails Paul Roos team ‘once in a generation’
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.
