Take a bow, the fixture list arrangers of Wildeklawer. Not only is the Skouspel widely acknowledged as the premier school rugby festival in South Africa, setting itself apart by showing 9 games live on television but as far as points difference per match is concerned, Wildeklawer also proved to be the most competitive festival in a survey of 12 festivals from around the country.…
With all the top tier KZN schools away at either Jeppe or Wildeklawer in Kimberley, it’s a couple of private school games that take the spot light in the province. …

After what happened against SACS earlier this month, Affies probably won’t be underestimating any other team they come up against this season. However that said the Wildeklawer Invitation team, Affies’ match-day one oppnents, have over the years been a walk over for any powerhouse school that took them on at the Skouspel. Well this might be a little different…

From SACS
SACS UPSET BOLAND LANDBOU
The South Africa College High School (SACS), the oldest school in South Africa, hosted the farmers from Boland Landbou in the first league game of the season. The first team match was played in very hot conditions. SACS led 19-14 at half time but Boland fought back and took the lead with ten minutes to go only for SACS come back and win 26-24 thanks to a brilliant counter-attack try!…
George Campbell’s 1st XV head coach Robert Erasmus passed away during the Easter holidays so his players were more determined than ever to honour the much loved and passionate long serving teacher with a victory over St Charles, who under different circumstances might have been favourites. The extra motivation helped Campbell lift their game to new heights this season as they played as a team with structure.…
DHS came away from Clifton’s home of rugby at Riverside, Durban North with a resounding 50-10 victory over their hosts.…
At Kings Park, Glenwood accounted for a 7 tries to 2, 59-12 demolition of Maritzburg College. The Green Machine has now not lost in this inter-city derby since 2010.…

The traditional 3-day long Easter Rugby festivals are immensely popular and financially viable but given how professional the approach to all aspects of schoolboy rugby has become in recent years, these festivals seem like they are outdated concepts as far as player welfare is concerned.…
One week ahead of their Wildeklawer debut on the same ground, Menlopark will travel to Kimberley to face a very competitive Diamantveld team, who’s two best results so far this season have been the much talked about come from behind 34-all draw against Grey College followed by a 12-22 defeat to a very strong Boishaai in Stellenbosch.…

From Queen’s College
A record number of teams from Queen’s College, in Queenstown, participated in various rugby festivals throughout the country over the Easter Holidays. The Queen’s College First XV and Queen’s College Junior U13A participated at the KES Easter Festival, whilst the U16A took part in the Jeppe Festival and the U15A and U14A teams took part at the Grey High School Festival in Port Elizabeth. All the teams performed admirably and managed to win all their fixtures against their various opponents.…
