Form team Northwood has Hilton on their radar

7 May, 2014 beet 2

This weekend Northwood School will host Hilton College on their beautiful fields in Durban North. Northwood is one of those schools that really knows how to make home field advantage count. They can usually be worth up to 10 points on home soil but given the high they are currently on having recorded wins by scoring over 30 points per game during their last two home matches against Gauteng English Medium Schools Jeppe and Parktown; that figure might have to be bumped up even more. …

SANIX 2014 : Paarl Boys High finish in second place

4 May, 2014 beet 64

Boishaai has lost in the final of the annual Sanix World Rugby Youth Tournament in Japan. They have won their five matches in a row, averaging a score of 53 points per game in the process. Their opponents in the final Hamilton Boys’ High of New Zealand has averaged 43 points per game on their road to the final. Apart from the finalists, most teams in this tournament would struggle to win a game against a lower tier 1st XV at the Tony Stoops or Oakdale Rugby Festivals because they are so weak. Sanix is a great concept and a tour of Japan will be a once in a lifetime unforgetable experience for most players but as far as high quality opposition is concerned, this 2014 tournament is fooling no one.  …
