JOHANNESBURG, 10 April 2013: South Africa’s popular Premier Interschools rugby series on Wednesday received a massive boost with the announcement that leading short term insurer Mutual & Federal had signed a three-year contract as the title sponsor, with Cell C and G4S as associate sponsors.…
Outeniqua is on top while Worcester Gim occupies 50th place. Lots of rugby still to come this season, so expect the formula driven ranking systems like this one to eventually start delivering the more trustworthy placings once all teams have played 6 or more games under the belt.…
Two websites: Rugby15.co.za and SASchoolSports.co.za have put out their rankings for the Week ended 05/04/2013.
At this stage apart from the top 2 on both, things look very different. Anyway you decide which is the more accurate one.…

Here is a match report in point form from this great match between two seriously good teams, Outeniqua and Grey College, the highlight of the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival for 2013 :…
These are my personal picks. You can find the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival programme with player profile data online : www.schoolboyrugby.co.za/KERF2013/…
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.…
