The Durban rugby referees society’s law meeting today might turn out to be more interesting than usual. For Saturday’s high profile Glenwood – Westville inter-schools matches, two regular and experienced referees were allegedly bumped from their respective 1st XV and u15A match assignments …
One of the biggest Craven Week questions every years is why does Western Province not have two representative teams. For many it seems like a logical step, which if anything would cater for the higher concentration of talent in their region and improve the quality on offer at Craven Week. Upon request, Ploegskaar was kind enough to put together his form choices for WP Country and WP City Craven Week teams. As expected both teams look very strong.…
Hilton compounded home team DHS’s misery by handing the Berea high school their fourth heavy defeat in five starts. The Midlands private school ran in 6 tries as part of a 41-10 victory in a night game on Van Heerden’s field.…
After a nail-biting finish which say Glenwood score an after the hooter winner against Westville during preseason Port Natal Series final in February, it was the highly motivated Westville who turned the tables and recorded a memorable 18-17 win against their hosts in Durban’s biggest inter-schools rugby rivalry.…

This comes up every so often, usually in a context that relates to what happens in New Zealand where size is possibly a much bigger issue in lower age-groups than here in SA.
However as a variant of this I was wondering what would happen if overall team size restrictions were imposed at 1st XV level in SA.…
Every year the Craven Week Day 1 and Day 2 fixtures are finalised well in advance and the match-ups generally provide an indication of who stands the better chance of advancing the unofficial final. However the fixtures decision-makers should feel a huge sense of responsibility to ensure they reward the two better teams in both halves of the 20 team split with places in the semis, given the amount of emphasis that is placed on the televised final.…
In the final trials for WP Craven Week and WP Academy Week places, 64 players have been placed into three Western Province teams to face the Boland Under 18 A, B and C teams in Wellington on Wednesday, 27 May 2015.…

The Grey High SA Schools duo Bosch and Vers were phenomenal. Bosch was absolutely world class. It’s been a topsy-turvy first half of the season for Grey but with plenty of big games still to come, they can still make it a campaign to remember.…
SACS came back down to earth with a bang against Paarl Gimnasium. Playing at home SACS had high hopes of upsetting the Boland powerhouse but it was not to be as they succumbed 39-15 (Half time 22-3) on an overcast morning in Newlands. …
