This formula-driven ranking system is the only one on any school rugby website to have ranked Paarl Gim as the No.1 team in SA last week. This week EG Jansen and Centurion make the noticeable gains at the top, while Monnas falls 15 places to the unfamiliar possie of 31.…
The WP schools rugby selectors have announced the three final Under 18 trials teams, which will practice at De Kuilen on Monday 13 and 20 May 2013 and then, after any tweaking necessitated by injury, take on their Boland counterparts at Wellington on Wednesday 22 May.…
Paarl Gymnasium defeated Outeniqua 37-25 in an away game the many got to enjoy as a result of the Premier Interschools live T.V. coverage. By winning the game Gimmies effectively put a target on their backs as the new team to beat in SA schoolboy rugby.
The game was little like a “Rock, Paper, Scissors!” contest with the Kwaggas constantly opting for individual brilliance (scissors) and almost always being trumped by Gim’s teamwork approach (rock). …

The NuPower-Tuks semi-final playoffs will take place this Saturday at the LC de Villiers Stadium, University of Pretoria on Saturday 27 April 2013. Here is the full schedule of games from under-14 to 1st XV.…
How good is Outeniqua? Well this Saturday you don’t have to rely on a written report or word of mouth. You will be able to judge for yourself. The Outeniqua versus Paarl Gim game will be televised live on SuperSport 1 as a result of the Premier Interschools initiative to provide coverage of the very best of South African schoolboy rugby. BTW Gimmies are no slouches either. Prepare to be thrilled.…
The schools of Mike Fennell past and present have their work cut out if they want to achieve the desired results against strong midweek opposition.
Fennell the former headmaster and an old boy of KES took up the post of CEO at DHS earlier this year. On Wednesday KES are away to Affies, while DHS makes the trip up to Pietermaritzburg to face College.…
Along with the recently update formula that drives the BHP rankings comes a recalculation of who the Top 30 schools in SA have been since 2009 (including the present season 5 of 2013 ).
The rankings confirm that the organisers of Wildeklawer are pretty much on the ball when it comes to inviting the cream of the crop to attend the annual showpiece which will be held from 02 – 04 May at Maritzburg College in Pietermaritzburg this year.…
Updated. The formula driven ranking system is still the way to go and compliments of BoishaaiPa we have just that.…
Westville produced their best result of 2013 when they beat a strong Pretoria Boys High 1st XV 22-17 on Bowdens 2, alongside their main field.…
The Los Pumitas have beaten the Baby Boks 2-1 in a series in Argentina. After winning the opening match 26-3, the SA under-20 team lost the next two games 27-42 and 22-27.
On the one hand it’s pleasing to see the juniors getting valuable game time as a unit ahead of the Junior World Championships in France in June. However one just has to ask the question again: do we have our best players on board? …
On Saturday Grey High held on to recorded a 23-18 win against visitors Paul Roos. This was their second win in two seasons against Paul Roos.
A feature of the game was the outstanding form of under-16 flyhalf Curwin Bosch who turned out for the home side’s 1st XV. Many locals in attendance feel that the youngster’s play was the difference between the two teams on the day.…

Argument dat ‘n skool ‘n tradisionele rugbyskool is, is op eierdoppe gebou. Die onderstaande statistieke oor die wenners van die administrateursbeker/Direkteurstrofee/Beeldtrofee toon hoe tye verander het. Voorheen “tradisionele” rugbyskole verdwyn, en nuwe word gebore. Die lewe verander en mens moet aanpas.…
A leading sports scientist has called for a ban on pre-primary and primary school rugby, claiming it causes emotional harm.

The selectors have named four teams plus reserves for what should be the penultimate round of trials, to be held at Bellville High School on Wednesday 24 April 2013.
While one would normally assume that the Stoffberg and Links teams, who meet at 16:15 are more highly regarded than the Jasper and van Rensburg selections, who play each other at 15:15, there is always room for surprises in the final selections.…
The third and final round of NuPower-Tuks pool matches will be played this weekend. In terms of the new Super-16 format, only the top team from each group progresses to the knock-out semi-final.…

JOHANNESBURG, 17 April 2013: The Mutual & Federal Premier Interschools magazine show will hit television screens tonight for the first time in the build-up to Saturday’s season-opening match between Johannesburg rivals KES and Jeppe.
The first episode, which will preview the match and provide viewers with in-depth insights on the rich traditions and rugby legends associated with the participating schools, will be broadcast on SuperSport One, SuperSport One Africa and SuperSport CSN at 17:45. …
Not too much happened this week to affect the top of the table rankings IMHO. There was one huge game at Brug Street in Paarl. The Kwaggas who were already my No.1 team won it but Boishaai did not disgrace themselves and in my books they are still pretty much a Top 10 team, a view that Rugby15.co.za and SASchoolSports.co.za do not seem to share. At least SASchoolsports was able to promote the Kwaggas to No.1 on their list.…
