With the help of some key matches over Easter, schoolboy rugby followers are starting to get a rough idea of where everyone fits into the big picture.
It was a good weekend for the likes of EG Jansen, Nelspruit, Garsfontein, Gimmies and Maritzburg College. An excellent weekend for Outeniqua and Klofies. And a not so good weekend for Paul Roos and Grey High.…

10 well-known rugby schools are taking part in a top drawer rugby festival to commemorate the 150th year of Maritzburg College.…
It felt like just yesterday when a schoolboy rugby pack of 760kg (95kg per player average) was considered big. That weight provided a good combination of size, strength and mobility once upon a time . These days 760kg is on the small side. The listed Outeniqua starting forwards for the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival (KERF) have a combined mass of 863kg…
Here is a list of 50 players worth keeping an eye on over Easter at the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival.
No doubt there will be others who stand out for producing good individual performances within the team framework during the festival but the players on this list are guaranteed to impress spectators.…
Enlisting the help of numerous bloggers from around the country that actively follow schoolboy rugby in South Africa, a list was compiled of the top 20 Easter festival matches that will be taking place over the next few days.
It was unanimously decided that the Grey College versus Outeniqua game to be played at the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival (KERF) on Monday, 01 April 2013, is going to be by far and away the biggest game of them all. …
Tony Stoops goes to great lengths every year to give something back to the Western Cape school rugby community. He does it in the form of a meaningful school rugby festival. The 6th annual Tony Stoops Rugby Festival will again be the largest 1st XV rugby festival in South Africa. 33 schools, many of which would otherwise not have had the opportunity to take part in a festival, will compete at Tygerberg High in the Cape. Together with the hard work and time that goes into putting a huge festival of this nature together, comes the financial requirement. Here Tony is blessed to have African Bank and a few other generous sponsors on board to assist him with covering the costs of this worthwhile initiative. …

It’s a really cool initiative by the organisers of the NWU-Puk Skouspel. Every year they select a team of stand out players from the schools that participate in the tournament. This year’s team turned out to be a blend of talent from all around the country.
