@Oakdale supporter: Net twee wedstryde gespeel, tellings was 31-7 en 56-0 vir Boland. Riversdal gaan beslis taai wees…
@BoishaaiPa: Onthou asb om vir ons ‘n updated lys te gee van die skole se ratings vir die jaar.
@McCulleys Workshop: The comment left me absolutely speechless…
@Org: Het julle dalk enige tellings beskikbaar van die oorsese toer?
Ek stem met jou saam dat Boland nog ‘n paar groot spanne gaan skrik maak die jaar. Julle is een van die spanne wat nog min plaaslik gespeel het die jaar, maar die wen oor Worcester Gim was goed en hulle(WG) het daarna gewys dat hul eintlik ‘n goeie span is deur vir Tygerberg te wen.
Julle het ook laasjaar ‘n baie sterk o/16 groep gehad. Alles dui op ‘n groot interskole. Gelukkig is dit die keer op Riversdal
@Thumper: Agree- See you there.
@Pedantic: They have only this year left unfortunately, win or lose may rugby be the winner!!
@Thumper: Notice how they slowly closing the gap over the years ?
Will be another memorable occasion – see you there!
@akw: Most certainly SAB brand
@Buffel: No one said you were a shit side. I was responding to a remark made by Pedantic about College being blown away by KC this year. I agree MHS the side to beat this year! All these grade 12 boys have played 4 lost 4 against College.
@Pedantic: Thanks for the kind offer, I will take you up on that. Let me put the record straight once and for all. My son played in this College side. 2011 – U14A wasn’t close, College won 38-0 (with Staples). 2012 – U15A, College won 42 -12 (without Staples). 2013 – U16A, midweek game, College won 12 – 10 ( no remarks column as you say, KC missed a kick at the death to win, College missing 6 boys due to the mystery bug. This Grade 12 side also all lost in 2014, all open sides were beaten. That being said I watched KC play Selborne at KERF. Well done to KC for taking on 3 hard games instead of going an easier route. IMHO Dixon will captain CW and will make SA schools if he stays injury free. You have bigger fish to fry before College, good luck against MHS. See you at the College game!
@phat55: Mens moet so baie selfvertroue hê, met so ‘n groot jaar en jou seun in die span. Die 3 Groot Wynland Skole behoort hoog te eindig, ons sal kyk of ons kan hand bysit met wie waar eindig…
@Org:
Probably will, but the top 4 will only be GCB/PRG/Boishaai/Paarl Gim swapping places with each other all season
Hierdie lys…gaan aansienlik verander
@akw: It is more than likely the SABMiller variety!
Is that a case of JW Black Label?
@McCulleys Workshop: If you insist.
@Pedantic: Nah, that wouldn’t be right big boy, they win both you get a case they lose both you go down a case. Injuries and U19’s don’t count.
@McCulleys Workshop: Kinda undermines the occasion to be honest, the contest will be worth a lot more to the boys than a case of black label – just watch the interactions between them after the game regardless of the result to see what I mean.
This 2015 KZN group in particular have a lot more in common than us adults comprehend. I’m hoping this will be reflected at CW this year, assuming the selectors get it right.
In the spirit of whatever you may be suggesting, lets go for the double – KC win both, you’re off the hook, they lose both, you get the case of Black Label for being a smartie
@Playa: Dale don’t count and K’s injuries do?!!?!? Patriotism does.
@Pedantic: let’s just put a case of Black Label on the MC game and another on the MHS game if you will. I will deposit mine with Star and he can do the honors.
@Pedantic: Beet just told me to jack up my dates. I’m off the calendar there, will post some details when I’m finished hearing up this pig in the braai.
@Gungets Tuft: Ok that was 2012 .. the year College beat KC U15 soundly at College. The 2013 U16 team was a different beast altogether.
I’m still looking forward to see Matt Kriel reach his potential, very different player to both his brothers but an incredible raw talent – just concerned he will be shunted around all season and not find his feet in a steady position?
(A bit like Tedder who is a natural 13 IMO, but has to cover 10 and 12 due to lack of depth)
@Pedantic: The U15 should have beatn Glenwood at College that year, Matt Kriel missed a penalty virtually in front right on time to win it. Sam Swanepoel was carried off 1/4 into that match after a massive tackle by Staples. They are a group with massive heart.
@Gungets Tuft: Not the bug stunt at all – we didn’t play that year due to a “bug” – no denying there was a problem as half the school was on it’s knees, apologies if it seemed condescending, not intended that way.
Edit …
“That U16 side … ” had beaten MHS and run within 7 points of Glenwood – they were confident.
I think you may be correct wrt to Staples.
@Pedantic: Eeisch. It’s not like you to pull the “bug” stunt, especially when College played a midweek match to fulfil the fixture against a known strong Kearsney side. A less generous person than me might see it as an accusation of running away. That U16 side ….??
Edit – Staples left before he start of the U15 season unless I’m mistaken
@Playa: Dale is always tough, but not as physical as the other teams I mentioned. When the bodies are broken it’s because of the big physical stuff. Dale (and GCB) played a very depleted KC side at KERF – as they say, no comments field, but that’s the reality.
@Thumper:
Our current G12’s only played twice due to College withdrawing in 2013 because of a “bug” – our Under 16A were very confident of the win that year.
U14A was close in 2011, U15A was a good win for College but since then they have lost the mighty “Staples”.
With 7 returning 1st XV players vs 2 my head tells me that at home KC will have the edge – “blown away” is a bit of banter, don’t get your panties too tied up
One thing is guaranteed, it’s going to be a great match and both sides being small will need to put every ounce of heart they have into it.
Tedder vs Kriel and Dixon vs Glover is going to be a mini battle in itself.
Looking forward to it .. and feel free to join us on the north side for a cold drink or two
@Thumper:
I think College will surprise a few this season. Small bodies but very big hearts.
@Thumper: Up till then they were in the top 4 in the province behind Glenwood,College and MHS. Got caught cold on Founders Day and then the shambles against Glenwood without Tedder and Dixon-re shuffled side etc. No excuses but you don’t become a shit side in 2 weeks after having a great season to that point. Again the KC side of 2015 will rely heavily on a few players as in 2014.
2014 side had the senior players in T.Tedder, J.Hall, T.Visser and T.Dixon(GRADE 11) but deemed a senior player as he represented Natal at Craven week. Only Hall was not carrying an injury in the last 2 games and Visser soldered on with a chronic shoulder ailment. Dixon didn’t play against MHS and GWD and Tedder was a shadow of himself due to a serious knock to the knee and left the field in both games. Before you run a side down, know the facts.
As far as blowing away any side this year is going to be very difficult. I feel KC will have uphill battles against Westville and College and me thinks MHS could be a mountain too far in Balgowan.
@Thumper: There are numerous examples where a school beat another at age group level, sometimes even with record scores, just to loose in the open age group with a record score. The fact that a school has beaten another at age group level, is no guarantee of success at open level.
@Pedantic: I don,t know why you think Kearsney can blow College away this year. Your current grade 12’s have never beaten College through the age groups, and your grade 11 boys last won in u14. Please humour me with your thought process. Clearly a man who thinks with his heart and not his head!!
@Playa: Dale are always hard as nails!
@Pedantic: I take it you don think the boys’ school from King Williams Town they played on the last day of the KERF was tough?
@Gungets Tuft: Big difference between 50-10 and 86-12. They also got blown away the week before by MHS on founders day.
@Thumper: If we’re being honest – I don’t think we can forget Westville beating College in 2013.
@Pedantic: The only side I’ve seen blown away in the last 10 years is Kearsney vs Glenwood 2014!!
What is great though is the Under16’s, 15’s and 14’s look very good and with some great wins under their belts now, especially the Under15’s with Paul Roos and Paarl Boys wins. The future looks bright!
Glenwood are very lucky to be in the Top 20 at all, they haven’t beaten anyone significant yet….unfortunately going to be a tough season for the Green Machine. Hopefully a few home games will build the confidence again.
@Thumper: It’s the same every year – MHS a very well managed side.
Also due to such efficient management of their fixtures, they suffer less injuries / fatigue so it’s a win win.
Kearsney on the other hand played 5 massive games in 9 days – including the mighty GCB and certain top 8 team Selborne, add to that the Noord Kaap U19 ridden team and the players are feeling the pressure.
@Buffel: It’s way too close to call, have some faith old boy
KC already beat GW, so that’s done and dusted.
Michaelhouse on Meadows will be tough, but our boys will be injury free and ready for the challenge.
Westville will have to work very hard for the win against KC – Ville running hot and cold so anything could happen, will be tough with Star and his cronies in the crowd harassing the ref though.
I think College will be blown away on Stott, I’m more worried about DHS to be honest. College at #7 is just silly IMO and just shows just how inaccurate these rankings are in general.
Our young side has taken on some big opposition so far without their experienced campaigners … keep the faith.
@Bonthuis: Top 3 yes. I think Glenwood could swop with KC and DHS with Hilton. The Westville KC game going to be interesting – injuries going to play a big part in KC’s season in 2015. If Dixon and Tedder can remain injury free , it will help their cause tremendously.
@McCulleys Workshop: I am talking in general. Mhs don’t play Grey, Affies, Pbhs, Kes etc. Their results look good because of the opposition they play and the number of games they play. They don’t really test themselves. Don’t get me wrong they are a very good side this year but sadly won,t be tested.
@beet: The PRG 10 played well against Monnas and had a big hand in both tries. He steps and off-loads well and defends his channel. Monnas should have played a lot tighter and taken points that was on offer.
KZN predictions for this season:
1. Michaelhouse
2. Maritzburg College
3. Westville
4. Kearsney
5. Glenwood
6. Hilton
7. DHS

@BoishaaiPa: @BoishaaiPa: 100% . Gee Dan asb vir ons die nuutste rating van die skole. Dis lekker om te weet waarvoor jy in is voor ‘n wedstryd begin.
@Thumper: I agree that MHS weren’t tested at St Stithians, would have been great to see them play Grey, Wynberg and PBHS, but I’m not sure there was or is anything shy about it, you play the teams you are allocated at a festival (unless you are Selborne
). It would be great if they had a longer season, but they don’t play in the 3rd term and therefore aren’t competing against all domestic sides, the Westville game excluded this year.
@BoishaaiPa: They need to play harder opposition, MHS always shy away from the big guns outside of KZN. They also only play 12 to 14 games.
@akw: Yeah unfortunately the rain spoilt the PRG vs Jeppe game on Saturday, so did not get to classy no.10 at his best. Jeppe didn’t look like they were going to stand down to PRG’s challenge but in the greasy wet conditions, the Stellies boys played more intelligent rugby. I noticed that Jeppe in spite of having a rated gr11 flyhalf didn’t want to play for field position using the boot. I know the Jeppe lineout was not great but it seemed like a mistake not to try get PRG to start off the backfoot. Trying to shift the ball through the hands like Jeppe tried to do requires experience of playing in those conditions. The 13 of Jeppe looks like a hot prospect. Seems like he is also u17. Trying a 65m place kick in the rain was crazy tho. I would love to know how the PRG no.10 played vs Monnas. He is a fantastic player to watch on the frontfoot.
Maroon…moet erken julle 10, 14 en 15 is game breakers, en die 11 vleuel breek sommer net wat hy wil.
@beet: That describe Jeppe perfectly, I loved watching them against Nelspruit. Their flyhalf impressed me, varies his play, take the ball up in both hands and tackles and rips balls with gusto.
@beet: Khanje was still injured yes..he is tall, but only weights mid 80’s as well..every game is about opportunities and if you opponents can limit those to the minimum or pressurize you into mistakes….these teams are all so close it is on very small margins that one can win!
@BoishaaiPa: unfortunately the highly rated no8 did not play but the no.6 captain was very good at the breakdown. He is short but low centre of gravity makes him a difficult customer.
If l think back on that game Monnas certainly had their opportunities to win it. Maybe not at the end but in the middle they will look back a 2 chances to cross the chalk that they let slip.
@CharlesZA: email my by Bo********@mw**.za
@beet: We have a solid tight 5. The bedrock of everything and where rugby begins..ask Dok Craven
..Our loosies are however very small in comparison to some of those 90kg plussers out there!…small but agile and skillfull!..
@BoishaaiPa: Kan jy dalk daaride updated lys post?
Of kan ek jou email as jy dit nie weer wil post.
Dankie
I watched Boishaai vs Monnas and just thought that 15 on 15 in that 1st half Boishaai outplayed Monnas in most departments and were helped to do so by having a reasonably big pack themselves. HJS got the upperhand in the scrums and their superb lock combo of de Villiers and Moerat were very lively for such big boys (1.99m each). The real damage doer was the HJS 12 who benefited from well designed moves and some good passing but also from the good ball that the forwards were able to win. The 12 definitely has x-factor and he got thru on a number of occasions. He however didn’t seem to have the best lateral vision or pass (or handoff for that matter) but on the day his best skills – pace and manoeuvrability proved to be all that was required.
I think in some of the points above not enough credit gets given to the “giftige” backline or even x-factor individual backs in SBR which still has the ability to win a game behind an average or smaller pack. This is not often the case in senior rugby. An x-factor back does not have to be a small elusive player either. The other extreme is just as evident. A big strong runner in midfield or back 3 can be just as influencial. I’m not sure any of these kids have to rely on better ball skills either to make an impact.
Two other things that I like to consider is the weather in the Western Cape in winter and the altitude of the highveld. Apart from the style of rugby in the Cape, the wet weather which makes ball handling more difficult and forces kids there to work harder on making better passes and skills them at holding onto difficult passes too (similar conditions exist in NZ). Kicking at altitude is so forgiving because the ball travels that much further. I wonder if this has a negative impact overall in the development of backline players who tend to be chasing kicked balls more than they get to work it thru the hands during matches.
@4×4: vra sommer vir Monnas en Affies wat maak die Kapenaars op droeë velde
@4×4: Ek dink jy misgis jou as jy dink ons verkies nat weer en swaer velde…dis n mite..Ons manne wil hardloop met die bal en hoe droeer hoe beter!…Dit pas julle Noorvalers met die swaar pakke beter as dit nat is as vir ons!
@Oakdale supporter: Ek dink jy het seker n verouderde kategorielys gesien. Ons het dit aangepas na aanleiding van laaste 2 jaar se vertonings. EG en HTS Middelburg is altwee kat 5 skole en Menlo en Kearsney 4.5…
@dirk: Hi ou Dirkie. Jy wen die prys vir die mees intelligente post van die dag. baie klas ne..Om te se die groter pak voorspelers is “useless”. AI AI..Ek daag jou uit om voor een van daai “groot useless’ pakke voorspelers the gaan staan en dit vir hulle uit te skreeu..Ons kyk hoe ver kom jy..
Het enige iemand ‘n idee wat van Rugbyman geword het? Iets broei erens
En daar bestel die Kapenaars toe wragtig Kaapse weer vir die 1ste Noord-Suid wedstryde vandag…lekker nat en kouerig in Pretoria vandag. Al wat ontbreek is ‘n lekker sterk wind.
@Babbelas: Dagse ou grootte!
Die vraag is eerder hoe ons groot manne kan kry om vaardig te wees. Ploegie is reg dat jy aan die vaardighede kan werk maar ook net tot op ‘n punt. Groot talentvolle manne is nodig. Daar moet eerder op vaardighede in die laerskool gewerk word as die wen ten alle koste. Het al te veel gesien dat die spel op laerskoolvlak om die groot outjies gebou word en dan by O/15/6 vlak ontbreek die basiese skills.
‘n Goeie grootte sal altyd beter wees as ‘n goeie kleintjie…………..my vrou reken ook so!
MAAR, skill is belangrik en dis hoekom die All Blacks ons meer wen as ons vir hulle!
Voor laas Saterdag het die Canes vleuel sommer bo oor Colby gehardloop om ‘n drie te druk. Sy skills help hom niks as hy nie 1 on 1 tackles kan maak nie! Hy sal nog op CC vlak weg kom daarmee maar nie in S15 nie en nooit op internasionale vlak nie!
@BuffelsCM: We are on the same page, the rot starts in primary schools where most plays revolve around getting the ball to a big 8 and 12 to run over players. Works up to u15 as you said, but when the peers catch up, the poor u16 and open coaches are stuck with a squad of unskilled players. To make matters worse, these coaches then think the quickest solution is to…..gym and juice the guys bigger! And so the bad habits continue with game plans centered around big one off runners setting up multiple phases until one of the fatties flop over, or 50m line out drives, until another fatty flops over. That works against poor or unconditioned opponents though, not so well against well organized defenses that will tackle fatty and co out of boots and ball or have an organized maul defense. That’s why we have these flat track donkeys that put up huge scores the one day and get turned over easily by good opponents the next.
@kwartlyn: Al wat ek gesien het was ‘n pro span vs ‘n pro-am span, sou treurig wees as hulle nie kon wen nie. Treurig, soos Tuks se pro VC span wat nie die finaal kon maak nie.
@Ploegskaar: IMO many of the bigger players are used by the Primary school coaches to run over their opponents in stead of teaching them the required skills. While certain (bigger) players have some natural skills, the skills of all players have to be developed continuously.
During the past weekend I have watched many games at the Paarl Gim tournament. While certain big U/14 players often ran over their opponents, not many of the U/16 players could do the same. No doubt that within a year or two the same U/14 players will not be able to do the same (when other players’ size have caught up with the bigger boys).
While some good tries were scored many potential tries were botched because players either “refused” to pass due to a lack of vision or believing that once they have beaten an opponent or perhaps two, they could go all the away …….often huge overlaps were not utilised to the detriment of the team. It often happened that the culprit was a forward.
It is therefore essential to practise these skills regularly.
Something that was also noticeable was the fact that many players…….most often wings …….. while sprinting down the touchline, carried the ball in the wrong hand. On top of that many inside backs didn’t carry the ball in both hands but put it under the armpit
BTW I agree with your comments!!
@4×4: Absolute nonsens. Affies het op ‘n warm somersdag in die kaap pak gevat. Sou met jou saamgestem was as dit ‘n nat augustus oggend was.
@4×4: St John’s, St Stitian’s en KES toernooie was almal in Jhb, so reken PRG, Boishaai, Rondebosch en Wynberg het reeds hul toetse geslaag in die Noorde.
@Ploegskaar: 100% correct Ploegies. You will see a Paul Roos team offloading before the tackle and as a second option off loading in the tackle this year. Same with Boishaai. This is the reason Affies and Monnas struggled when the momentum picked up. Monnas lost both games in the first half because of exactly that.
@PRG 4 Life: I agree that the basic skill levels of our players are very poor, but the size of the players are not relevant, rather poor coaching from primary school level upwards through the age groups. Personally I look at the bigger players with the required positional physical stats first, you can upskill and make a big player better after all, but you cannot make a small guy bigger.
As long as our players are coached that taking contact and playing ruck phases is the first option, with off-loading in the tackle a high-risk second option, we will make no progress. This is especially worrying as the trend-setters in rugby have already evolved to off-loading before the tackle as first option, off-loading in the tackle as a second option and tacking contact and setting up a ruck phase a last resort!
@PRG 4 Life: Praat van die bulle het julle gisteraand se wedstryd tussen tuks en kovsies (young guns) gekyk dit is n goeie voorbeeld hoe om n wedstryd te wen met groot vinnige en groot voorspelers wat geleer is om n bal te versprei
@PRG 4 Life: Kom ons kyk more wat gebeur en dan praat ons weer ek is op die kwartlyn jy sal my daar sien. En dirk ek vat niks weg van die Leeus nie maar as al die veranderings plaasgevind het by die Bulle kan ons weer gesels,
Djou…is die program vir die Noord-Suid wedstryde al bekend? Ek wil graag weet hoe laat die spanne speel more en Saterdag!
Prg4life…ek verskil met jou siening dat Affies verloor het teen ligter pakke. Framesby is selfs swaarder as affies die jaar, en van die Pretoria skole blyk dit dat Affies ook die ligste pak het. Die toernooie word in die Kaap aangebied wat ‘n wesenlike voordeel vir Kaapse skole inhou mbt bekendheid aan weersomstandighede en tuisveld voordeel. Ek sal dus my opinie reserveer tot en met die uitslae van die Noord-Suid kompetisie sowel as Wildeklawer waar die Kaapse skole in die Noorde getoets sal word en by Wildeklawer op neutrale grond vir al die skole.
@BoishaaiPa: het jy die uitslag van Outeniqua vs Noord-Kaap? Outeniqua het met ‘n drafstap gewen.
@AffiePa I will concede to that fact gladly but the losses of the Affies team this year was to smaller packs, this is the point I was trying to make and I believe your boys are going to ensure for some surprises still this year.
@PRG 4 Life: Whilst I do agree with you around skills development and mobility, your comment that Affies has one of the biggest packs is not correct – as a matter of fact, Affies has a fairly average size pack this year – at Kearsney I think we were ranked around 8th out of 12 teams on the weight of the tight 5.
@PRG 4 Life, Amen!!!!! Kyk na die bulle. Groot en useless.
Lets look at how well all the biggest packs of forwards did this weekend, Affies, Monnas, EG Jansen, Garsfontein, Glenwood, Jeppe, all got beaten by paccks that were smaller.
@kwartlyn ,this is the reason that SA rugby is in its current sutuation ,Super 15 we have the biggest and unfortunately the dummest packs and look what we have achieved, We should focus on the skill level of players at school level. The basics like passing, 90% of those big forwards cant do it,The size in the boys will come we only breed them one way!!!
Net n klip in die bos, na afloop van die naweek se wedstryde wil ek net n paar afrigters van hulp wees. Julle meesters afrigters leer nou een maal om n ligte pak voorspelers te kies om vinnig te speel werk nie, mensig jou span kan slegs vinnig speel met bal in hand as jou voorspelers die bal in fasette wen in elke wedstryd het die swaarder pak die wedstryd gewen en met die swaar pakke het hulle in elk geval vinniger gespeel met bal in hand as die ligter pakke. So as jy n swaarder speler tot jou beskikking het speel hom om n klomp flanke op slotte te kies help julle niks. Dink net hoekom sal Springbok afrigters altyd groter voorspelers kies in hulle spanne, ek sal jou se dit is om die balle in fasette te wen om sodoende goeie balbesit te kry vir sy agterlyn. En net van julle afrigters NEE ek het nie n seun op skool nie. Net n stukkie nuus hopenlik sal van julle dit gebruik en nie groot wedstryde onnodig verloor nie.
Die glipsies wat Affies gehad het kan toegeskryf word aan die volgende: Paul Roos…swak kombinasies in agterlyn, en teen SACS, die speel van al die reserwes in die wedstryd…dink dit is nogals dom van hulle brein trust.
Boishaaipa, ek hou van jou formule en probeer myself op hoogte hou van spanne se rankings om self te probeer om vooruit te bepaal waar my span die volgende week gaan le.
Ek het wel een vragie. Volgens die laaste ranking van die skole was nie teen van Grey se teenstanderds hoer as 4 punt skole nie en dan is daar nog ‘n draw ook. Verder het hul nie een game met meer as 30 punte gewen vir bonus punte nie. Hoe kom hulle op 4.5 gemiddeld.
@BoishaaiPa: Ek het jou elders gevra, maar laat ek dit maar herhaal. Wil jy nie weer daai stats pos wat aandui die persentasie en getalle van seuns wat aan rugby deelneem nie, in elke skool? Al is dit bietjie verouderd. Sodra jou vol drinkprogram dit toelaat, asseblief. Seker na WK maar voor Augustus, indien moontlik.
@Cappie: Thanks…daai resultate sal in volgende week se rankings ingesluit word. Ek het nie al die uitslae van “Best of the West” gekry nie en sal dit die week opdateer.
@Stripes: I agree with Stripes – I think there could well be some changes after 18 April. Fixtures over the weekend flattered some schools and were extremely tough for others.
Dit help nie om teen die rankings te stry nie.Die seisoen het net begin en sal nog heelwat anders later lyk. Waterkloof moet seker beter gerank wees en sal hopenlik ook. Speel nou teenNOORD HEUWEL.GREY.OUTENIQA.MENLO.GARSFONTEIN.AHS.HELPMEKAAR.
FLORIDA.JEPPE.En dan die beeld uitspeel wedstryde.
@kosie: Dit is soos jy sê, daar sal altyd glipse wees, en mens moet dit maar agter jou plaas.
@BoishaaiPa: Ek sê dit verseker nie, maar ek neem aan die wedstryde wat Waterkloof teen Sentraal, Linden en Krugersdorp gespeel het moet hulle gemiddeld afbring, aangesien hulle nie in die top 25 is nie
@BoishaaiPa: Hier is Waterkloof se uitslae soos op die blog veskyn by Noordvaal
1 Sat.07Mar Nelspruit 25 20 Won Away
2 Sat.14Mar Sentraal 48 5 Won Home
4 Sat.28Mar Framesby 36 10 Won Pukke Skouspel
5 Mon.30Mar Drostdy 12 16 Lost Pukke Skouspel
6 Thu.02Apr Linden 34 15 Won Best of the West
7 Sat.04Apr St George’s (UK) 50 10 Won Best of the West
8 Mon.06Apr Krugersdorp 74 0 Won Best of the West
@Cappie: Nou wil jy vir my se dat as jy al jou games teen gemiddelde skole wen jou ranking beter moet wees as n skool wat topspanne speel en miskien een of twee naelskraap verloor en n paar wen?..Watter 7 wedstryde het Waterkloof (volle wedtsryde, nie oefen wedstryde nie) al gespeel?
@BoishaaiPa: Haha, ek hoor wat jy sê. Duur glipsie, maar dit was een wat al het hulle hom verloor, kon hulle nog steeds bo uitgekom het, indien Paul Roos dalk teen Grey, Boishaai of Gim verloor en Affies kan dalk vir Grey en Gim wen, ens… Maar die verloor teen SACS kan hulle duur te staan kom.
@Cappie: Ek dink tog Affies behoort hoër te wees en ag ek Affies steeds as die skool in Pretoria om te wen. Gelukkig is die Affie glipsie iets van die verlede en wag daar dalk ‘n paar groot glipse vir ander spanne.
Dis soos die formule die spanne plaas op hierdie stadium. Dit gaan wesentlik verander teen Augustus. Affies sal dan heelwat hoër le.
@Cappie: Nie noodwendig die glipsie teen SACS nie..daar was n glipsie teen Paul Roos ook…
Menlopark en Garsfontein het bietjie die wind van voor gehad met ‘n strawwe begin.
Waterkloof wat 6 van hulle 7 wedstryde gewen het, doen hulle self nie ‘n guns met hierdie formule om teen laer gerankeerde skole te speel nie. Vir my is dit nog een van die tekortkomminge in die formule, dat jy deur die gemiddeldes gestaf word as jy teen ‘n laer gerankeerde skool wen.
Eldoraigne het al sy wedstryde so ver gewen, en verdien sy posisie op agt.
@McCulleys Workshop: MH only played 4 games so far..min amount of games to get on must be 5 or more. Their current avg is better than MC’s, they just need to keep winning and they will pop up in a very favorable spot next week!
Affies se glipsie teen SACS behoort hulle die top posisie te kos, al wen hulle alles hierna, of hoe?
Nietemin, daar is nou ‘n kort breuk, dan is dit die Westville-derby met al die spanne waarna ons uitsien, alvorens die Wildeklawer toernooi.
@Bonthuis: Not sure I would agree with that but we will get a better indication after House play Kearsney and College play Glenwood on the weekend of 18 April.
I certainly wouldn’t volunteer to play Windhoek, seems you get struck off the roll.
This looks pretty accurate so far, College definitely the top KZN side so far this season, but, perhaps not quite as high as 7th.
Can you share the yearly rating for all the teams? Know your calcs use some kind of 1-5 sliding scale for schools.
