Update: Cheetahs players added
A work-in-progress list of where some of the top schoolboy rugby players of 2015 may be playing rugby in 2016:…
Geez what an incredible finish to this good game. Queen’s scored an awesome try with hardly any time lift to take the lead. Dale struck back with a superb effort of their own to regain the lead by a point. Queen’s then produced some outstanding focused rugby combining good handling with continuity from rucks as part of a patient attack but the Dale defensive structures were up to the task and held out for a memorable win.…
SACS who are having a terrific season were on 4 out of 4 in the big Cape Town derbies prior to this Bosch game and on course to complete double triple crown in 2015.…

After losing out by one point to Nelspruit in 2014, Garsfontein from Pretoria rewrote the history books on Saturday when they beat HTS Middelburg 42-40 in the Beeld Noordvaal Trofee final to claim the much sort after “Macro Schools” title for the first time in their history. Garsfontein opened its doors in 1988. The 2015 final also accounted for the highest number of points scored in a final – 82 points. The previous highest was 43 – 23 in 1998 when Affies beat Waterkloof.…

From SACS: SACS TAKE DOWN BISHOPS TWICE
The South African College High School (SACS) played host to Diocesan College (Bishops) on a cold and rainy morning in Newlands. Despite the conditions the oldest schools derby in South Africa lived up to expectations as a desperate Bishops team threw everything at a gutsy SACS side. A strong North-West wind meant it was a game of two halves, SACS winning the first (8-nil) and Bishops the second (7-6), meaning the hosts won 14-7.…
