Realising that school Sevens rugby offers players more opportunities than possibly given credit for in the past, including the chance to represent the provincial under-18 team in a televised game or two, which in turn could open several doors to a player who performs well, the KZNRU under the guidance of chairman Noel Ingle has introduced a welcomed restructuring, with the intention of making the selection of players a lot fairer than in the past.…

Who says you have to go to a big fancy traditional rugby school to become a modern day Springbok rugby player. Milnerton old boy Damien de Allende will become Springbok number 862 when he runs onto the field in the Green and Gold on Saturday. It will be a proud moment for the player, his loved ones, his supporters and his old school. All who are affiliated to non-mainstream rugby schools should also find cause to rejoice.…
Of interest this weekend is that HTS Middelburg’s reliable scrummy Rowan Gouws starts for the Sharks while regular captain Ayron Schramm is ruled out by injury and flu. The strong Free State team’s starting lineup includes Limpopo sprinter Arno van Staden who came off the bench last weekend to score two tries in the win against the Leopards. Glenwood’s Corne Vermaak who’s had off the field issues to take car of also finds a spot on the bench this weekend. Outeniqua’s powerful no.8 Dian Koen is at long last called on to be a reserve for WP. Two really good hookers go head to head when Pieter Jansen (EG Jansen, Golden Lions) takes on JP Jamieson (Kingswood/Grey PE, EP Kings). The Lions regular flyhalf Shaun Reynolds (Goudveld) is out meaning that Jameel Warnick of Garsfontein steps in. He will be up against the versatile Jason Baggott who usually plies his trade at scrumhalf…
Grey College and Maritzburg College have restored annual interschools ties after five seasons of inactivity. Their match will be broadcast on DSTV Supersport at 14h00 on Saturday, 16 August 2014.
Prior to 1997, the two schools met a handful of times over the years with the first meeting taking place way back in 1940. Then from 1997 for 12 consecutive seasons Grey against Maritzburg College was an annual fixture.…
Word from BHP: It has occurred to me after chatting with a few SBR followers that they see the rankings as a relative strength measure of teams, which it not really is. The ranking system is there to measure how you are doing this season relatively compared to other teams.…
Die Burger still seems to be struggling to establish itself as a knock-out tournament of significance.
The concept for this small Cape coastal belt competition is borrowed from the highly successful Noordvaal Beeldtrofee (formerly Administrators’ Cup) and is therefore a good one.…
The Eastern Cape school rugby season has been building up towards this huge intercity clash almost since Day 1. Selborne of East London and Grey High School of Port Elizabeth, the top two teams in the province will battle it out for top honours on Saturday, 16 August 2014.…

On Saturday the 9th of May, Queen’s College and Hangklip Hoerskool, clashed for the 50th game between these two schools which saw Queeen’s College win the local derby 61-7.…
Maritzburg College versus Glenwood games on Goldstones in Pietermaritzburg should carry a health warning. The closing stages of the last four matches between the KwaZulu-Natals intercity rivals on the famous ground have gone down to the wire. There is no ways this can be good for the hearts or nerves of the respective supporters but boy does it make for entertaining to watch rugby. …

Grant Hermanus, Paarl Gim current fullback and 2013 Craven Week player of the Year will start on the wing for the WP that takes on EP in the under-19 competition today. Interestingly Paarl Gim has a game against Rondebosch tomorrow.…
Last year he was the Hilton College scrumhalf and captain and now just a few months out of school, Cameron Wright is on the verge of making his senior Currie Cup debut for the Sharks against the Griquas. …
“Once again and for the third successive year Dale College First Rugby XV will wear their Pink Strip of Pink jerseys and shorts to highlight the disease of Cancer when Dale College and a formidable Selborne College play the 189th game against each other in King William’s Town. This history of rugby rivalry goes back to 1892! Dale’s sort after motivating Pink Strip is only worn by Dale once a year at present. The initiative and motivation behind Pink Day at Dale and playing in Pink strip to highlight Cancer is still possibly a first for any South African schools”…
It wasn’t that long ago that there was just one national school rugby ranking system, now every about every website that covers rugby has it’s own one. Here is the combined effect of 7 such website’s rankings. Points have been allocated on the basis of 20 for 1st, 19 for 2nd, etc, etc. while the remaining few teams are from those who were ranked best outside the Top 20.…
Glenwood will travel up the N3 freeway to Maritzburg College’s Goldstones on Saturday in search of a win period. The bonus will be that if they achieve it, they will be the undisputed No.1 team in KwaZulu-Natal for the 2014 season. Defeat would open up a potentially lively debate about who the best team in KwaZulu-Natal is in 2014 as it would probably result in College finishing ahead of Glenwood on a few different national ranking systems including the BHP used on this website.…
Kingswood broke their derby day hoodoo with a determined victory over Graeme College, in a pulsating fixture on Somerset Field. Kingswood came back from a 19-8 deficit to clinch the game at the death.…

From Premier Interschools:
Saturday 2nd August 2014 the Paarl will once again be divided between North and South, between Gimmie and Boishaaier, between Bloedwors and Galpil. Actually, for the whole preceding week the Town is split into two camps. The Blue and White of Boishaai and the Maroon, Green and Gold of Paarl Gim. These colours will feature on almost every tree, gate, porch or window of Main Street Paarl.…
