RE: ORGANISER TONY STOOPS: Always worth mentioning is that the TSRF is a labour of love. Tony gives his time, energy and in the past even dipped into his own pocket to ensure this stays a community rugby success story. From a rugby advancement perspective, the festival continues to offer Rugby Union and tertiary institution scouts the opportunity to watch kids they would otherwise never have seen play. As a result of past festivals doors opened for several promising players to play rugby at a high level after they completed matric.
@Ploegskaar:
Just a few notes on the Noord-Kaap/Outeniqua game that will hopefully put the preposterous earlier debate about their u19’s into perspective. To be clear, if they had an entire u19 team and bench available yesterday, they would still not have beaten Outeniqua. Although they play to their structures, they are very one-dimensional and it only took the Kwaggas a few minutes to figure out how to defend the plays. The Kwagga 10 & 12 also figured out how to unlock the D very quickly and broke their line with clever skip and flat passes at will. Only poor final passes prevented a bigger score and but for one short period in the 2nd half, NK never looked like scoring. Any team that has lost to NK thus far simply need to accept that they were not good enough on the day or maybe not as good as they thought they would be this season. As I have said before, older does not mean better.
@Oakdale supporter: Terugvoer van ‘n paar betroubare bronne is dat Oakdale so goed is soos ek voorspel het (dieselfde geld vir Rondebosch). Julle het baie ysters in die pak, ‘n skitterende 10 en boonop is julle samespel en hantering puik. Dus ‘n groot span met vaardighede en sleutelspelers in belangrike posisies, ‘n resep vir ‘n baie sterk skolespan. Julle sal moeilik geklop word op papier of enige ander plek hierdie jaar. Bly my Bellville manne kon die knoop deurhaak, Marlow gaan ook taai wees more, maar ek hoor hulle lyk goed in daai mooi truie!
@Ploegskaar: Ek het laasweek gese dat ek nie dink Outeniqua is wat swak is die jaar nie, maar dat Rondebosch dalk goed was om hulle te wen.
Outeniqua is terug met ‘n bang en ek sien nie moeilikheid vir Rondebosch voor hulle HJS laat in Mei speel nie. Laat ons maar sien wat gebeur. Hier moes al ‘n paar manne op hul neuse kyk na voospellings. Dis nie’n oop jaar waar enige span kan verras. My span speel Saterdag teen Voortrekker en op papier behoort hulle dit te maak, maar wat weet papier.
