    @Dok F: Wat se jy en jou vriend nou Garsien wen Marais Vijoen 55-7 en Marais Viljoen wen Kempton Park. Sien ek het jou gese julle weet niks nie. Die beter span op die dag sal wen.

    @Skoorsteen ek raak nie geweldig nie dit maak my net kwaad as mense nie iets goed kan se oor ander nie maak nie saak wie die skool is nie mar elke seun op daai veld prober alles te gee en oefen hard vir dit.

    Dok F as jy dalk die game gekyk het teen Kempton en Garsfontein kan jy iets se want dit was n baie goeie game en enige span kon gegwen het op die dag. En as ek so moet kyk wat jy se lyk dit nie of die vriend van jou veel weet van rugby af nie, O ja en jy ook nie.

    @Rugbyman:

    Geluk aan die Garsie ouers se spotmanskap. Ek geniet julle opbouende komentaar die meeste en kan sien dat julle ‘n passie het vir jul skool se kinders.

    Dit was Saterdag ‘n baie senutergende wedstryd maar ook baie lekker om te kyk. Ons is geseend om aan die wenkant te wees en geniet dit baie.

    Sterkte met julle volgende wedstryde. Ek hoop om julle langs die veld te ontmoet volgende kwartaal by die Tuks se finale rondtes.

    Kempies se sukses kom nou al ‘n hele paar jaar gebou op die toewyding van die afrigterkorps deur al die spanne en harde werk 12 maande van die jaar met ons kinders. Ons ouers is baie dankbaar aan al die tyd wat hulle met ons kinders deurbring. As julle ons kinders persoonlik ontmoet sal julle sien dat dit ook ‘n groot rol speel in ons kinders se karakters. Ons kinders het goeie waardes en respek vir ander mense. Enige persoon kan na die plaaslikke NG kerk gaan en sien hoe passivol die kinders in die gemeenskap betrokke is.

    Ek kan verkeerd wees maar die meeste van ons seuns is plaaslik (geen koshuis) en speel al van graad 8 af vir Kempies. Daar is heelwat graad 11 spelers nou in die span en ek ken nie almal nie. Die kinders werk nou al 4 tot 5 jaar om so te speel soos hulle nou speel en hulle prestasie is gebaseer op dit.

    @Thumper: MC did not look convincing – but the match was not a hugely memorable one. MC held up twice over the line – DHS held up once – MC lucky to miss a Yellow card – place kicking to be improved on both sides.

    Hoping for better rugby as the season progresses.

Doen liewers moeite om jou eie skool se kinders te behou…. ek hoor terloops julle hoof kom vir ons kuier om kers op te steek…. vra sy terugvoer as hy klaar hier was, dan kan jy ten minste iets intelligents skryf en jouself nie aan hoorsê langs die veld uigee nie

    Baie interresante ding is die ding om ouers finansieel by te staan as hulle nie die skoolgelde kan betaal nie. Die wet sê (daar is ‘n formule daarvoor) dat as ‘n ouer nie ‘n kind se skoolgelde by ‘n model C kan betaal nie kan hy by die Beheerliggaam aansoek doen om vrystelling van skoolgelde as hy kwalifiseer. Dit maak mos nie sin dat die ouers hulle kinders skuiwe dan vir slegs skoolgelde nie. Laat mens dink :)

    @ Rugbyman Julle hoef nie te worry nie – die groot werwing gebeur mos by die onder 16 Paarl Gim toernooi. Julle agent is seker al daar.
    ‘n Vriend vertel my die naweek 3 dinge nadat hy die Garsies Kempton game bygewoon het
    1 Garsies kon gewen het as hulle meer Kapies in die span gehad het
    2 By Garsfontein bestaan daar glo kwotas. Daar moet ten alle tye op die veld ‘n derde van kinders van Pretoria, derde van Wes Kaap en derde van Suid Kaap wees
    3 Verder moet Garsfontein glo die provinsiale kwotas vir die Bulle verskaf vir hulle onder 18 en 16 spanne. Geen ander talent in Provinsie nie
    Ek het probeer maar teen drukltyd kon ek nie op die 3 stelling verifieer nie. Dus sy stellings en ek koppel my nie daaraan nie. Miskien kan Carte Blanche meer lig hierop werp

    @Rugbyman: Klink vir my hulle het nie hulle werk gedoen laas jaar nie, want daar is nie een van die Blou Bulle o’13s Affies toe nie. hulle is of Menlo of Garsies toe hierdie jaar. Affies o’14s het nou reeds hulle eerste wedstryd verloor. Die manne sal nou maar reg afgerig moet word. Iets wat hulle goed kan doen. Hoop maar hulle word nie opgeraap sodra hulle begin presteer nie.

    Dit is nog baie vroeg in die seisoen om te begin laerskool kinders werf. Dalk is die kind ‘n goeie atleet? Somtyds is ouers lief om skole se name te misbruik om hulself en hul seun te laat belangrik lyk.

    @Rugbyman: ouer afrigting is gevaarlik, maar ek verwys meer na skole wat vashou om onderwysers te gebruik en geen of bittermin buite hulp gebruik. Dink nie enige skool kan meer bekostig om nie buite afrigters aan te stel of te gebruik nie.

    @Rugbyman: Jy sal beslis beter weet as ek. Ek het dit probeer met jeug klubrugby. Drie dinge geleer:
    1. ‘n Afrigter hou van ouers (en hulle kinders) wat hulle afstand hou,
    2. Om met kinders te werk is HARDE werk!
    3. Die pa’s is nie die probleem nie, dis die ma’s wat jou klaar maak.

    @star: Yes, I agree Westville are punching above their own weight for sure, with only a handful of boarders. Another factor to consider though is the number of day boys living within 5km of the school, Westville will have a large amount. Westville also have 3 excellent rugby playing feeder schools in DPHS, Westville and Atholl Heights, also some coming from Highbury etc. Westville get their depth from being a suburb community school. Looking at Glenwood, many of it’s boys travel relatively far to Toti, Bluff, Queensburgh etc hence less involved in sport…..many, many factors to consider, but boarders play a huge role in successful sports. Gibson House, the Glenwood BE always wins inter-house sporting events and usually by miles too…

    @Cappie: Ek ken nie eers sy naam nie :-| Blykbaar het hy tot laas jaar b en c spanne gespeel, tot die afrigter hom raakgesien het en begin werk het met hom. Regte klein Danie Gerber. Vreemde span wat l/s Garsies het. Daar is bv. meer talent in die o/11A span, in my opinie, maar hulle is so goed afgerig, doen alles op spoed, dat hulle skoonvee voor hulle.

    @Rugbyman: Ek aanvaar ook dit is so, dis waarom ek dink hy nie bekommerd hoef te wees nie. Elkeen, myself ingesluit, sal ‘n woordjie doen vir my skool om iemand te probeer oortuig om daarna toe te gaan. Dit is nie noodwendig aanbiedinge nie.

    As ek by ‘n braai vir ‘n jongman sê om Affies toe te kom, beteken dit nie ek het hom ‘n aanbieding gemaak nie. Dieselfde met bemarking by skole. Dis promosie van wat jy het en om ander bewus te maak van jou skool.

    ‘n Aanbieding is ‘n finansiële kontrak op papier…

    @Grasshopper: It is not as simple as that. Hilton have 10x the boarders as Westville and yet won only one rugby game out of 20. Boarders however do have an impact and is one of the reasons that Westville is looking to expand on that front. If you refer to that list of top schools in “selected” major sports , it would be interesting to note the % of boarders per school. Westville at 5 % would indicate that it is punching well above its weight in that regard with significant room to improve :lol:

    @Cappie: Dis duidelik ja.
    Probeer maar vir Rugbyman waarsku om nie aan die slaap gevang te word met die een nie. Mens moet ten minste die goeie spelers uit jou eie voederskole kry. Koop bly vir my maar ‘n moeilike kwessie. Ek wat skoolgeld betaal, wie se kind in die o/16c span aankarring, help om die gekoopte speler daar te hou… Maar, jy kan ook nie deur die lewe gaan met ‘n 102-0 in jou geheue nie.

    @GarsieOuer: Al die Hoërskole gaan elke jaar by al die Laerskole om, om hulle skool te kom bemark. Garsfontein was verlede jaar twee keer by Menlo Laer vir bemarking. Dis nie altyd moontlik om almal wat in jou voederslaerskool is by die Hoërskool te laat aansluit nie. Grey College byvoorbeeld wys Grey Laer kinders weg aangesien hulle te veel aansoeke het.

    Die beste vorm van bemarking is om op ‘n konstante basis ‘n voorbeeld te wees van uitnemendheid.

    @GarsieOuer: Ek is oortuig daarvan dat ‘n aanbieding van Affies niks anders sal wees as die versekering dat in die skool hy ‘n ereplek aan God en sy Woord sal kan gee en dat hy sal streef om die Christelike lewensbeginsels na te dra. Hy sal geleer word om dankbaar te wees vir die talente wat hy van God ontvang het en om dit aan te wend tot Sy eer. Hy sal leer om te streef daarna om hulpvaardig te wees en om te dien. Hy sal leer soos die ander dat ons gehoorsaam en eer ons ouers en onderwysers en gedra ons hoflik teenoor alle mense, veral teenoor dames en ons meerderes. Ons woord is ons eer. Hy sal leer dat ons glo in selfbeheersing, selfdissipline, nederigheid en lojaliteit. Ons dien ons skool getrou en handhaaf sy goeie naam met woord en daad. Ons hou onsself en ons omgewing rein en skoon. Ons staan vir ons Taal, ons Nasie en ons Land. Meer kan Affies nie aanbied nie.

    Dit is inderdaad nog baie vroeg in die seisoen .. en die Skole rugby Curry Beker word nie in Maart gewen nie … maar om op die eerste paar games te gaan (en ek weet party skole hier bo het nog net een, twee of drie games agter die blad).. lyk Monnas die span om te klop die jaar (in die Noorde) met Grey soos gewoonlik en dan voorspel die ouens daar onder groot dinge van Paul Roos, die 2 Paarl skole en die Bulle van Oakdale. EG Menlo en Garsies sal ook terug bounce en soos gewoonlik moet NHS, Kempies en Middelburg Tegnies nooit onderskat word nie! Sien uit na nog 5 great maande se rugby! En al word skole rugby groter en amper pro by die dag.. kom ons onthou om dit te geniet en mekaar nie te ernstig op te vat nie… almal hier het n passie vir rugby en sy skool!!

    On DHS – College -while the A sides of DHS were competitive – the depth fell away very quickly – I watched the U14 & U15 B teams. College dominated and DHS seemed very short on depth. The U14 in particular were a huge mis-match. Well played to their A teams however – were very good – coming out 2-2 across the age groups.

    @speler23: Ek dink vir die eerste keer vandat ek EG rugby volg, het hulle nie een wedstryd op die dag gewen nie.

    Die o16 gelykop uitslag was die enigste wedstryd wat nie verloor is nie.

    @jakes: Was self daar, en weet nie so mooi van ‘n EG wen nie. 2de helfde was beter, maar eerste helfde het beslis aan Monnas behoort.

    Monnas moes hulle losskakel vroeg reeds vervang het na ‘n harde slag. Hulle het nie, en hy was duidelik nie homself vir die res van die wedstryd nie. Ook ‘n paar maklike strafskoppe gemis.

    EG se 10 het ook vroeg ‘n harde knock gekry, en het ook baie wisselvallig vertoon. Disipline was ook ‘n probleem, en dit help nie die span as jou kaptein afgestuur word binne die eerste 10 minute van die wedstryd nie.

    Uitstaan spelers vir my was 4 ; 5 ; 8 van Monnas, en 11 ; 13 ; 14 van EG.

    Whilst we appreciate all the Grey College lads that you send to us here in KZN, I do request that you ask the powers that be at Grey to work on the discipline and dirty play aspects so that we don’t need to once again pull a rabbit out of the hat and beat the best team in the Super15 with only 13 men on the field. I know that Grey gentlemen do not need any rules – but considering the red mist at Kings Park yesterday – I think it’s time to start introducing some for the rugger chaps.

Michaelhouse has 550 boarders vs Glenwood’s 250, they should compete and actually dominate. Why is Grey Bloem so good, large number of boarders. Same with College.

    Ek soek geen verskonings nie, ma Menlo het vir Grey baie besig gehou! Ons eerste helfte was uitstekend! Sagte driee afgestaan en die telling is nie die ware weergawe nie. Ons wedstrydfiksheid kort, siende dat dit ons eerste amptelike wedstryd was.

    Die ander Menlo spanne se tellings teen Grey het 70% verbeter as in 2014. Wil ook net noem dat Menlo se O/14span het 7 – 8 verloor, waar Menlo duidelik ‘n paar swak beslissings gekry het!

Understandably so, especially if they joined a school with a specific motivation and objective in mind to be ruled out by a foreigner with no passion for school and community. What’s left for the player with passion and an objective? To play for the passion of the game and that is it…
    It will take a special group of boys to stand up and proof the rest wrong, but sometimes I wish that kind of passions starts to rule schoolboy rugby again. Where their biggest game of the year would be between the purchased 1st XV and the passionate 2nd XV.

    Noudat ek al die bostelegraafnuus bymekaar gemaak het klink dit of daar ‘n interessante seisoen op hande is. “Kempies tem die beertjie” is natuurlik die beste nuusbrokkie. Wys jou net wat goeie afrigting kan doen. Het iemand al ‘n antwoord op die geheim van die seisoen, wie is die rugby-man wat rugby ken wie Kempies nou onderhande het?
    Menlo moet net fiksword klink dit my dan kan hulle dalk iets beteken. Dalk moet hulle kers opsteek by beertjieland wat hulle kan help met motivering om die inkopiekas fiks te kry. Wil voorkom of die ingelegde spelers moeiliker fiks word. Dalk te doen met die feit dat hulle mos nou reeds daar is, hoef nie te hard te werk nie.
    Affies het harde werk wat voorlê klink dit my. Die uitslag is nie te wat wonders nie en daars nie regtig iets om oor huistoe te skryf nie word daar vertel.
    Wat gaan aan met hul o/16A spannetjie, klink my daar word diep gesukkel, voor en agter. BMT onderbreek? Diepte gelukkig daar met die res van die o/16 groep wat goed doen.
    Mens hoop natuurlik die o/14 groepie word bymekaar gehou en skool en gemeenskap skuif hul nie opsy en gee hulle ‘n naam nie.
    EG en die o/16A manne moet saam n draai by die gomshop maak. Klink my die bal wil nie klou nie.
    Soos verwag gaan Monnas n span in veld stoot wie almal gaan rondstoot.
    Natal se mooiste stories word in die Midlands vertel die naweek. Goeie een!

    Well done to House – that’s a massive result for them. I have an interest in the U14A team who apparently played like men possessed against a massive physical onslaught including a 315kg front row. They lost by 30 odd points but the reports suggest that they are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the U14 age group this year. I watch from afar with great interest.

    Wat ons o/15s betref gaan hulle die jaar booishaai toe vir die toernooi daaronder weens redes wat ek seker nie oor hoef te praat nie!

    The U15 and U16 groups were heavily recruited in Gr8 as has been noted before. College have actually improved – certainly in the U16 group – where they lost by 50-60 points as U14’s. The gap has narrowed. The ‘depth’ issue is very apparent when one considers the U16B result yesterday where College had a big win.

Hulle onder 14’s verloor teen sterk onder 14’s span van Helpies en die onder 16’s het blykbaar teen hulle self verloor deur baie swak balvaardighede en hantering.

    @star: 1 from 1. Still 3 to go as we play as we play Hilton twice this year. A good start for the KC old boy. I think it is going to be a rough ride though. Banana peels everywhere. Ville and MHS potential stumbling blocks as too Hilton at home.I think we need a points system -maybe the Varsity cup one that awards try and convertion 8 points and a penalty 2. Total it up at the end and then we do a handover at the losers place.

    @Rhino: Yes we won but still locked in 1st gear. We have a very solid tight 5 and dangerous back 3 and it seems Westville is trying too hard to force the ” linkage”. They should just play to their strength by playing for position and dominating up front. Once the opposition has been softened up the flow to the backs will happen naturally and be effective. I was so frustrated that with a howling wind at our back we were fiddling around amongst the backs in our 22. Still very much a work in progress.

    @Gungets Tuft: yep, agreed. I want a stronger DHS. However, I already know of 3 DPHS boys going to Glenwood next year. This is DHS’s bread & butter, not a good sign if they can’t even get their prep boys….DHS wasn’t even an option for their parents….

    @Grasshopper: I don’t know. Unless I am misinformed those two teams are highly recruited from the EC, whereas the 2015 First side was a big local recruitment, something like 65 boys from the DPHS class of 2010 went to DHS. Another possible problem that will arise from the 2016 and 2015 matrics leaving is the parents associated with those years also leaving. They’ve been heavily involved, I hope there’s a new crop of involved parents coming through. But for now DHS is healthy enough, if lacking depth. Good on them, their problems are well documented and they have played on anyway. U14s – it’s always a lottery, would not read too much into that.

    There are quiet changes at DHS. New coaching structures and a desire to improve Rugby results. They had 15 players on the field who have been together since Gr8. They have passion. They have negotiated the social changes other schools still need to go through and they have prepared my son well to take his place in the real world. I think they will have a good year this year. And the signs are there may be some decent years ahead … but the likes of Glenwood will probably still dominate. And they may have a couple of rough years ahead but that is life. BUT I am a lot more positive than I was after the 50+ score against college last year.

Im impressed though… we only won 7-6 in the port natal night series so goes to show how strong they are as reading above some DHS supporters saying DHS should have won as 2 tries missed ??!!

The DHS pack extremely committed,some seriously large bit of beef in there, they are going to be a handful for any team that plays them this year. I’m not sure I would call it a great game, but it was massive up front. Well done DHS, at first team and A team level they are going to be tough to beat, might go as far as to say their U15 and U16 teams are the ones to beat in KZN this year.

    I was impressed with the standard of rugby from the Michaelhouse boys today. Generally speaking, the players looked far fitter, more focussed and determined than I’ve seen them in previous encounters. I think there will be many aching bodies from both teams.
    Today was also the first time I noticed the war cry leaders shaking hands at the end of the 1st team game. This type of behaviour is awesome to see.

    @Hanswors: From a Klofies point of view, it does seem like a step backwards, considering their season has meant to already be underway. But perhaps Kloof see this as an investment. Stronger ties with PBHS could pave the way for a proper inter-schools fixture in future, something that Klofies are looking for. For PBHS who have decided to start rugby after the 2nd term, this practice is perfect prep for them.

    Pretoria Boys High vs Waterkloof this Saturday is a practice match with the PBHS boys wearing practice kit, there is no kicking for poles, they are playing three 20 minute chukka’s, simulated game situations. There is the option to retake lineouts, scrums and defensive and attacking options during the game. No score will be kept.
