Pukke Skouspel 2014 Team of the Tournament

16 April, 2014 beet 0

Better late than never. Here is the team of the tournament named after the conclusion of another excellent Pukke Skouspel 2014. Some big boys in there. And a few who are destined to go far in rugby.

Fullback showtime at Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival

16 April, 2014 beet 46

I’ve been wanting to write this blog about the four top fullbacks playing at the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival for quite a while now. When the inspiration first came to me back in 2013 I thought it was a sure bet. KERF would be the ultimate battleground. The best fullback of the four stood a very good chance of being numero uno in the land in 2014.…

Match report: Maritzburg College 42 Pretoria Boys High 28

13 April, 2014 beet 38

 This was a super-duper entertain packaged game played on Goldstones in Pietermaritzburg. When 70-points get scored in 70-minutes, there is room for constructive negative comments about defensive structures and tackling, however during this game it really felt like the positives like attacking running lines, strength in contact, individual skills and good handling was more responsible for the high score than defensive lapses.…

Match feedback: Waterkloof 38 Affies 21

10 April, 2014 beet 73

Compiled with input from Coleen Naude, Waterkloof Media Liaison and Marketing.

It almost feels like an understatement suggesting that the Affies versus Klofies rugby battle attracts a lot of interest. It’s a huge game on the Pretoria and South African school rugby calendar. Once again the proof was in the pudding, the pavilion and the surrounding grounds were packed with spectators for this derby.…

There is a very positive vibe about Noordvaal school rugby going around right now. The 2014 season is still young but recent victories by Noordvaal schools over last season’s Western Cape pace setters, Paarl Gim and Outeniqua has certainly shifted attention to the Highveld where there looks to be plenty of quality on offer.…
