San Isidro, the high school from Buenos Aires in Argentina has three teams out on a tour of the Western Cape at the moment. Having just outscored Drostdy by three tries to one in a 17-17 draw at fortress Trappespark, suggests that these tourists mean business. …
The Varsity Cup Young Guns Compo for under-20 students is into Round 3. Its the first time this season that all 8 teams will be in action.

02-Mar-13. Glenwood and Framesby treated early arriving fans at the Kings Park Stadium in Durban to the only real excitement at the venue on the day. With the main game, a Super Rugby match between the Sharks and the Stormers turning out to be a dull affair, the 50-points aggregate score in the schoolboy rugby curtain raiser proved to be an advert of how rugby is meant to be played from a tactical point of view. In the end Glenwood won 26-24 after leading 12-9 at the break.…
Maritzburg College are still seeing the positive side of life despite going down to Westville (10-5) and then to Kearsney (19-7) in their first two warm up sessions of the year, played at the Voortrekker Rugby Night . Coach Ryan Strudwick has believes there has been good value in giving players game time with contact and in testing depth.…
Updated. The Super Rugby weekend starts with a difficult to predict clash between the Blues and Crusaders and ends with a mouthwatering game between the Sharks and Stormers.…
Framesby is looking forward to the experience of playing a curtain-raiser to the Sharks versus Stormers Super Rugby match at Kings Park in Durban on Saturday, 02 March 2013. They are also grateful for the good relationship they have with their opponents on the day Glenwood, which made this match possible. Just like Glenwood, Framesby will be approaching the game as a pre-season preparation for the coming season.…
The King Edward VII Easter Rugby Festival is arguable the best attended school rugby festival in the country.
This year apart from the hosts KES, the big attraction team is bound to be Garsfontein who has seen a big improvement in their rugby and results in recent times. Centurion also comes off a very good 2012 season and will be hoping to build on that success. Marlow, Menlopark and Eldoraigne rank nationally amongst the unknown quanities and are capable of producing good results while Hentie Cilliers has been a good supply line to the Griffons Craven Week and Academy Week causes over the years.

Glenwood opens their season in style with a curtain-raiser to the Sharks versus Stormers Super Rugby match at Kings Park on Saturday 02 March 2013. Kickoff is at 5pm. Their worthy opponents will be Framesby from Port Elizabeth, who like Glenwood are involved in three major rugby festivals this season, namely NWU-Puk, Kearsney and Wildeklawer. It’s a big season for both and although this game is billed as a proper fixture, Glenwood has indicated that they will be approaching it as a pre-season game with combinations still under the microscope.…

The first round of the Varsity Cup Young Guns for under-20’s saw the defending champions Tuks squeeze by the Shimlas 18-16 while the UCT Trojans thrashed NMMU 44-15. This week NMMU are going to need all the home support they can get for a very tough encounter against the Maties while the Pukke should be too strong for Wits at the Fanie du Toit Stadium in Potchefstroom.…
Sergeal Petersen, the 18-year-old Southern Kings right wing has just completed a dream debut for the new Super Rugby franchise. On Saturday the Kings defeated the Western Force 22-10 with Petersen accounting for two tries and being awarded the Man of the Match after the game. Professional Super Rugby started out as the Super 12 in 1996 and is now into it’s eighteenth season. During this time not too many 18-year-olds have played in the competition, even fewer of that age have scored tries and of those try-scorers it has been a rarity for one to score on debut. So you can imagine how unique Petersen’s achievements are.…
Northwood deservedly beat Port Natal 12-3 to claim the Damelin Night Series title for 2013. The win was made possible thanks to some outstanding work by the pack and excellent defence all round.…
Updated. Super Rugby kicks off in South Africa and New Zealand today. College Old Boy Slam will be hard pressed to hold onto his rather fortuitous lead once the real contenders get going this weekend in a compo that is all about skills and has zero to do with luck in spite of what everyone else and your own human logic tells you.…
Port Natal has one final hurdle to clear in order to complete a dream Damelin Night Series. After a less than convincing start against Pinetown, the hosts got their act together with a resounding victory…
