Herewith the first BHP rankings after the Easter Weekend festivals. Please note that teams had to play 5 or more games to be considered, therefore teams like Paarl Gim, Boland Landbou, Bishops etc will only appear on the rankings once they have played 5 or more games.…
An eighth Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival wrapped up today with the announcement of five players who each received bursaries valued at over R100 000 eachto the Sharks Academy for 2016. The recipients are:
1. Nico Peyper (EG Jansen hooker)
2. Jordan Chait (SACS captain and flyhalf)
3. Heinrich Nieuwenhuizen (Selborne College flank)
4. Jaydon Morgan (Glenwood fullback)
5. Khuthazani Mchunu (Glenwood prop)
The BIG QUESTION is how many will pitch up at the Academy in 2016. Best guess based on historical success rate is not many! Check out the list of past recipients in the table below:…
From Kearsney (Working Words). Written by Mike Hill…
From Pieter (translated from Afrikaans to English):
The WPRU has got their knickers in a Knot. Why? Because the proactive Blue Bulls have as always followed proper SARU procedure and informed WPRU in writing that the Blue Bulls have 62 talented Western Province school players in mind. …
From SARugby.net:
“The SARU national selectors have named a squad of 37 players for the Junior Springbok training camp in preparation for the 2015 World Rugby Under-20 Championship to be played during June in Italy. The group will assemble in Stellenbosch on Easter Monday.…

Full Day 1 & 2 Results (Day 3 fixtures below)…
Oakdale is different from many of the other 1st XV Easter Festivals in the sense that only Day 1 fixtures are arranged well in advance, while Day 2 and then Day 3 fixtures are only determined after the conclusion of the preceding match day. The advantage gained from adopting this format is the opportunity to pair up schools of similar strength after the organisers have seen them play.

Spare a thought for the organisers of Krugersdorp High School’s Best of the West Easter Festival. Several school have withdrawn at the last minute. But the show must go on!
From the organisers:
This year’s Easter Festival has been one of the hardest logistically in its 12 years of existent. In a matter of a week leading up to our kick-off on Thursday we have had HS Merensky, Welkom Gimnasium and today (31/03/2015) HS Florida withdraw from the Festival due to governing bodies and injuries etc… This has put us in a tough position when it comes to fixtures and being able to communicate with you and our supporters…

From Queen’s College
Queen’s College played against Pearson, at Graeme College Rugby Day, in Grahamstown this last weekend. The field was still wet underfoot after the previous week’s rain.…
Tristan Dixon of Kearsney has been named as Player of the Tournament and captain of the Pukke Skouspel All-Stars Team for 2015.
The team includes SA Schools player Edmund Rheeder from Klerksdorp and Potch Gim’s big 118kg flank Gerhard Steenekamp, who as an u17 player last year represented the Leopards u19 team in the junior Currie Cup.…

The prestigious Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival kicks off this Thursday (2nd) with 12 top South African rugby-playing schools participating.
Locals will be particularly keen to see how three of the top ranked KZN schools – hosts Kearsney, Glenwood and Westville – fare against some of the country’s best.…
From Kynoch Noord-Kaap
Kynoch Northern Cape was of to a slow start and after just 15 minutes Kearsney was leading by 15 – 0. The Kimberley boys at this stage hardly ever touched the ball. The Durban side tried to speed up the game and they were really testing the Kimberley sides’ defence. …
Frustration is the best way to describe this situation.
A Westville under-17 frontrow rugby player was prevented from starting the under-19 1st XV match against Maritzburg College because his SARU age banding “paperwork” (often incorrectly referred to as Boksmart) was not in order. Westville Boys High School was not at fault here. The problem was/is Archie Shelakho, a referee based at the Rugby Unions headquarters at Kings Park who is responsible for signing off the “paperwork”.…
Maritzburg College put in a surprisingly refreshing running rugby performance and deserved more out of the match than the 13-0 win they achieved against hosts Westville.
The match got off to a very unsettling start for Westville. The referee, fully within his rights, would not allow standout under-17 hooker Hendrik Prinsloo who forms part of a very powerful Griffons frontrow combination to take his place on the field in the under-19 game due to the player not being Boksmart compliant. …
