@beet: Hi Beet, I noticed that you did not update the results of the matches that were played on Sat, 20/6. I know that a full series of matches were played in the WC.
I see Glenwood played JJ van der Mescht at No8 vs Porties and blooded many stayers for 2016. Great opportunity to see combo’s for next year :-)
@jakes: Nellies en Garsies kan nog ‘n klip in die bos gooi
@beet:
Also – just to make another important point. The front row replacements do not have to start on the bench. The simply need to have these players in the team lineup. So for for example if both starting locks were able to play front row, then there would be 5 suitably trained front row players in the line-up and therefor a 7 man bench could be named.
@beet:
Yes and no – semantics I guess. It mostly refers to ‘front-row players’ in the context. Paragraph c mentions that for a 22 man team, contested scrums should still be possible after an injury to a hooker and an injury to a prop.
Here is the entire wording:
3.5 SUITABLY TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED PLAYERS IN THE FRONT
ROW
(a) The table below indicates the numbers of suitably trained and experienced players available for the front row when nominating different numbers of players.
Number of players Number of suitably trained and
experienced players
15 or less Three players who can play
in the front row
16, 17 or 18 Four players who can play in
the front row
19, 20, 21 or 22 Five players who can play in
the front row
(Union Specific Variations Law 3.14)
22 or 23 Six players who can play in
the front row
(b) Each player in the front row and any potential replacement(s) must be suitably trained and experienced.
(c) When 19, 20, 21 or 22 players are nominated in a team there must be five players who can play in the front ro w to ensure that on the first occasion that a replacement hooker is required, and on the first occasion that a replacement prop forward is required, the team can continue to play safely with contested scrums.
(d) The replacement of a front row forward must come from suitably trained and experienced players who started the match or from the nominated replacements.
@GreenBlooded: The law makes no distinction between props and hookers or have you just used “front row players” to simplify the explanation of the law?
@GreenBlooded: Thanks for this Greenblooded…clears up a lot for me. I have always understood it to be like this but was never sure. It does no good for the game and creates a false impression. What was interesting was the game played the week before the College forwards dominated House and comments were passed before last weeks game about the fact that the College forwards had not shrunk in size and five minutes later uncontested scrums were called for. I will remember this for the next time…
@McCulleys Workshop my son is in Grade 11 and has just turned 17 so no he is not post matric or post post…due to staggered games against House and the fact he plays lower teams he played 2 games against them in Grd 8, 1 in Grd 9, 1 in Grd 10 and 3 games this year!!!
@Luvthegame:
Glad you brought this one up. Please note the following:
1. It is a matter of LAW that a match cannot commence unless each team has a front row comprising 3 trained players in each position. A team CANNOT request uncontested scrums before kickoff. There was a directive from Andre Watson himself regarding this last season – that no match is allowed to commence with uncontested scrums.
2. If a team of 18 is named, then there must be 4 front row players – i.e. a single front row injury does not result in uncontested scums. Conversely, if has 3 on the bench but only 3 players in the team who can play front row – then the 3 bench players can have a shower.
3. 22 players – 5 front row players as above.
4. 23 players (new law) – 6 front row players.
Note that all of this in LAWBOOK stuff (3.5(a))- not bylaws from the unions etc. It is amazing how quickly trained front row players appear when you tell a coach to send his bench for a shower. Andre Watson was adamant that he would rather a match not start at all than start with uncontested scrums.
@Luvthegame: Is he in post post matric?
@Far Meadows: Remembering that the 6th game House asked for uncontested scrums and loaded their team with loosies who ran the College pack off their feet. The week before they played at St Charles and College beat House comfortably by 48-28. The House 6th team on that day when compared with the 4ths and 5ths a week later looked decidedly different. So I know it is on the scoreboard but think it is unfair to claim the victory emphatically so in my own humble opinion House Only really won 2 games. Not sour grapes but I do question why at open level uncontested scrums are asked for. It seems to happen regularly with House. My boy has played them 7 times in his career at College and only one game had contested scrums. Any thoughts on this?
@Rugger fan: Correct , those were the only three matches that House won on the day. I think that they will be a bit disappointed with the ‘open’ results on the day , having lost very few so far in the open age-group so far this year.
@GreenBlooded:
Agreed – the 2nd XV game was far more entertaining than the 1sts. Great game by both teams – down to the wire – and really could have gone either way.
I stand corrected – but I know of only 3 College teams that lost to MHS (1; 2 & 6) – will confirm with official results later today
@Andre T: Andre. Ek mis verskriklik vir ROM,ROM,ROM. Ek voel sommer lus om te brom ,want Augustus kom.Asseblief man. Kom terug. Jy het lekker lewe in die blog geblaas, of moet ek se gegrom. So Andre. Gebruik nou jou charms om hom weer te laat blom.
12h00 op Radio Ruggas……..ons gesels met Gareth Shaw van Kingswood College en met Katte Strofes or die naweek se Kaapse bondedag
Watch QC pulling upsets at Cape Schools Week
Never underestimate the kudu
In the meantime, EG Jansen and Monument keeps on producing cricket scores. Silently paving the way to a Beeld trophy final.
Nice win to Dale, and and excellent win for Kingswood!
@Queenian: Oops forgot the task of Cape Schools week at least QC can honestly say they fielding a Under 17 team.
@Queenian: Well at least QC won I think all that’s left for them this season is to see if they can beat either Dale or Selborne on the return leg, and not to lose any other games.
Well they started for the second week with 13 Grade 11 players and 4 of 6 replacements being grade 11 which must be a record that makes 17 of 21 who took the field Grade 11’s.
@Playa: Trust me Playa it was far from dull. We probably deserved to win it by more but we left a few points out there, SAC also never know when to give up and it caused a very tense finish.
Any win is good enough especially against the old foe and a great day for my son and his band of brothers.
The night was very good for all.
@Wyvern: Well done to KC must have been a good game.
@Wyvern: No such thing as a dull KDAY!!!
@Playa: Must have been in the early 90’s when over a five year period we won 3 lost one and drew one. Kcman?
On the match itself KC probably should have won by more, having missed numerous kicks and dominating SAC for most of the game and just not taking their chances. All in all a brilliant weekend all round
Well done to Kingswood on a rare KDay win…at Lower nogal
Wyvern; KCMan – When last did KC win 2 KDays in a row? They certainly have a chance of achieving that in 2016.
Queens 45 Stirling 12
@the professor:
Clearly you weren’t present yesterday or you would have caught the joke. There was an Ukhosi FM party on at the Oval which provided the background music. I think the best way to describe it would be as follows (and I will admit upfront to plagiarising this)
“Imagine an impassioned triceratops mating with a steam turbine, while off to the side Daft Punk and the Bee Gees beat each other to death with skillets and spatulas. Imagine the sound that would make. Just try. {The background music at College yesterday} is kind of like that, except it also makes you want to jab your thumbs into your eyeballs and gargle acid.”
Your comments on the 2nd XV match also indicate your absence from festivities – had you been there I doubt you would make such comments. Undoubtedly the clash of the day. Both team went into the fixture with unbeaten records which they were keen to maintain from the outset. The fierce clash which ensued trumped the 1st XV encounter by a country mile for entertainment value. The end result was neither here not there – one point in it. It was the roll of the dice or the flip of the coin that decided a match that could have gone either way. Well done to both teams on a match that epitomised everything that SBR is all about.
@Goldstones: Music on Goldstones…WTF..is that to ease the pain of another loss or is it becoming something other than a traditional boys state school? Andf Or the 2nd XV to lose…that is arguably unheard of. The College 2nd XV has always been the easiest team to coach, based on depth of player base, and probably the team with the most successful record at College over the past decade. Congratulations to Ruan Combrinck and his coaching staff on a mighty effort yesterday.
@GreenBlooded: Good age group results for College . Should be some good games next week at college.
@Grasshopper: They have generally been close games at 1st and 2nds, not sure about the rest. I don’t think 2016 is shaping up as a big year for MHS.
I see KES were given a real beating! Eish 50 plus!
I would like to see a House vs Glenwood double headed, every year it’s close….
@sparkie:
U14A 49-7 win
U15A 35-7 win
U16A 24-8 win
2nd 12-13 lost
How did the College age group sides go.
The music was as painful as toothache!
College showed glimpses of what they could do at times and would have run House a lot closer if they had held onto the ball more, attacked with the entire backline more and maybe played their game more rather than just opposed House’s. Having said that, they did some immense defensive work and with a backline that was not gelling they could have come off worse. Some silly decision making seems to have hurt College a few times this year and today was no different. The second team loss was very unlucky and also a close affair. Well done to House, they were the better XV on the field today.
@GreenBlooded: Great move thanks, good choice of bands and DJ.
@GreenBlooded: Eish the music – she is still pumping
@Stripes: @Tang:
Dudes – never mind the final score, or who beat who up front or what would have happened had House played Grey of Affies. These aspects are non-perenial. All I want to know is if you House peeps enjoyed the background music we laid on for you today? And if you would like us to provide the same every year from now on?
@Vleis – Jokes aside – the penalty count was 9-1 in favour of St Albans.
The problem with the breakdown is interpretation. On a number of occasions PBHS got penalised but St Albans didn’t roll away. One very clear case just in front of the St Albans posts.
I agree with all your other comments. Boys High don’t look after the ball well and St Albans certainly capitalised.
I am hugely concerned by the poor individual skills – Catching high balls, kicking out of hand, kicking at posts, etc. SACS did a huge analysis of this a few years back and found it was better to coach skills than team drills.
Vleis – I can see why St Albans have run all teams close this year. I thought they were well drilled. Looked after the ball well and ran with purpose. On another day, they could have easily won this game (even without the ref)
@Stripes: I’m being fasciitis, insinuating that this year MC were no test, on the back of the comments about us playing weak sides (like College)
@McCulleys Workshop: I agree it would have been great to see how this side would have done against Westville and a couple of the top 10! Anyway we can only speculate, well played to a great team and a wonderful bunch of boys!
@McCulleys Workshop: MHS forwards won the game as expected. Great defense from both sides – very few breaks and runs – all dominated by the forwards.
Good win to House. Well deserved KZN top team for the year.
@Vleis
I do feel for St Albans but was too far away from that line out incident, but very glad that we got the result, the boys have had a difficult season and are working really hard to get the results.
I’m sure the results will come St Albans way in the near future.
@Tang
You are so correct, the refereeing was very frustrating in that 2nd half and like you I was very impressed with the discipline shown at the time.
I will always support them through thick and thin.
My boy played the u16a game and said it was tough but most enjoyable.
@Tang: Haha…you make me laugh Tang. St Alban’s were penalised heavily in the 1st half and PBHS were penalised heavily in the 2nd half (but not 9 to 1).
To be fair, PBHS have a very large pack and some dangerous backs (when they hold on to the ball), but their rucking technique is terrible. They got away with murder in the 1st half, but were penalised correctly in the 2nd half. Despite getting back foot ball for most of the game, St Alban’s were more creative than PBHS, who bosh it up with the forwards.
Out of interest, how many grade 11s are in the PBH 1st team? As far as I could tell, it was only the 9 and the 7.
@Luvthegame: They played as well as they were allowed to play. The backs couldn’t get into the game because College were really good at ruck and scrum time and the MHS 9 battled to get good ball away.
House really haven’t been tested this year, should have played proper out of province sides.
@Pebble: The St Alban’s boys are absolutely gutted. Two weeks ago they lost to KES by 18 to 10 but missed four penalties. Last week they lost to Parktown by 16 to 15 but outscored them by three tries to one and missed every single kick at poles, including a conversion at the death to win it. This week, they got 66% of their kicks over but lost to a last minute try. They just can’t get the W.
Unfortunately the ref was unsighted when our line-out jumper was taken out while in the air with two minutes to go, which would’ve probably changed the result…but these things happen and I thought that he had a decent game overall, so no complaints here.
Well….House outplayed College today in all aspects. They are a good side but I will say that College for me were poor today. When they did get the ball they just didn’t make it work. Apart from a great pushover try, there was not much to write home about. House are the no 1 team in KZN this year and hats off. I believe had College bought their A-Game it would have been a lot closer. Didn’t really get to see the House back line and maybe a bit grateful for that. They really looked good when they did move. College missed some basics again today but not all is lost. We remain loyal to our boys in the Red Black and White and always believe the best. Bring on Reunion day and hopefully restore some pride against Westville…gonna be a cracker
Hoping Hilton put one over Kearsney and possibly House next week.
@Pebble – Two very close games indeed.
In terms of the first team game, I am very grateful Boys High scored a try to win the game.
If Boys High had not scored that try to win the match, I think the ref would have come under major scrutiny.
I don’t think he meant to be biased but a penalty count of 9-1 in the second half in favour of St Albans was very poor. The bulk of the penalties were at the break down and clearly the discussion the St Albans coach had at half time proved to be very valuable for St Albans.
In a 35 minute half, 10 penalties translates to a penalty every 3.5 minutes. That means for 31.5 minutes St Albans were given each penalty.
The ref could so easily have had the major influence on this game which truly would have been a travesty. Boys High were simply denied possession in the second half as the ref blew them off the park.
Boys High deserve major kudos for not succumbing to the one sided refereeing decisions and for using the limited possession they had to put points on the board. A gritty, hard fought victory under difficult circumstances.
PBHS 27 – 21 St Albans. Very close game to the end.
U16a PBHS 7 – 3 St Albans another tense game to the end.
KES 22 – 52 Monnas. Baie foute maar paar asemrowende drieë.
@BoishaaiPa: Dit is baie moontlik om ‘n rankingstelsel te ontwerp wat werklike sterkte aantoon.
Ek het net baie vining een gedoen en daarvolgens sal konserwatief gesproke minstens 17 spanne tussen posisies 11 tot 40 dan onder skole soos Garsies, Kearsney, St Andrews, Kempton, Menlopark en Queens wees.
En dit is tog mos waarheen ons moet streef want dit sal ‘n beter weergawe van werklike sterkte toon en nie verkeerde indrukke skep nie.
@GarsieOuer: Nee, ongelukkig nie gekyk nie. Was by Eldoraigne vs Wonderboom.
@BoishaaiPa: Ek verstaan presies waaroor die stelsel gaan en jou manier van bereken! Ek het ‘n ingenieursgraad agter my naam so ek dink ek het my “stripes” verdien wat wiskunde aanbetref… Iets soos logika moet ook in ag geneem word… relatiewe sterkte moet ‘n rol speel… maar soos jy sê ons elkeen mag dink wat ons wil! Terloops, skyn die son heerlik in pretoria!
@BoishaaiPa: Gaan jy die insig met ons deel of was dit ‘n 1uur in die rooiwyn opmerkingtjie…? Ek verwys nou na jou pretoria skole probleem opmerking…
@Rugbyman: Dit sal net sin maak as jy uiteindelik kan verstaan waaroor n ranking stelsel gaan…as jy nie die konsep verstaan nie en jy bly relatiewe “sterkte” vergelyk gaan geen ranking stelsel sin maak nie. Ek het nie nodig om enige iemand aan te val nie want ek het nie nodig om enige iets te beskerm nie
…..Elke ou kan maar sy opinie he en dink net wat hy wil…dit sy gegewe reg…Die son skyn elke oggend hier by by as dit nie reen nie! 
@Cappie: Menlo het met hulle bench begin en was halftyd 0 – 14 agter… halftyd het hulle die grofgeskut opgesit en toe gemaklik 38 – 14 gewen… weereens ‘n bewys dat die top 50 totaal onakkuraat is! Menlo feature nie eers in die top 50 nie terwyl oos-moot nr.35 is… ek vermoed as menlo met hulle sterkste span gestart het sou die tellong 60 of 70 toe gegaan het… ek meen dink weereens bietjie logies (en nou gaan ou bhpa my sekerlik weer aanval) garsies is die makro-skole blou bulle beker wenner, maar waterkloof, wonderboom, oos-moot en eldoraigne is hoër gerate op sy lys as ons… maak sin…? I think not!!!!
@GarsieOuer: Hoe is die finaliste bepaal? CP het teen Wierda Park verloor wat teen Garsies verloor het. Het CP in die liga teen Garsies gewen?
Ek verstaan nou hoekom Pretoria rugby is waar dit is….
CHS 15-38 Dale FT.
Ek verneem Menlo Park het teen Oos Moot gespeel gister. Weet iemand dalk wat die telling was?
@scrummie: No 4 kon bo-oor gespring het, hy is lank genoeg en Eldo’s se vleuels is maar kort.
Ek dink ons kan die wedstryd opsom dat Wonderboom nie verdien het om te wen nie (gegewe al die balbesit wat afgestaan is) en dat Eldoraigne verder kon gewen het (gegewe al die hanteerfoute).
Weet nie of jy Garsies vs Waterkloof gesien het nie. Dit was amper dieselfde gister – Garsies het bykans alle lynstane verloor en ook heeltyd swak bal gekry in die skrums. Tog het Garsies gewen – en dit is die verskil teenoor gister – as jy nie balbesit het nie en swak speel, maar steeds kan wen.
Nee, weet ongelukkig nie van die stut nie!
@ Kosie – Nie van wat ek weet nie, glo nie. Hy wou blykbaar weer gejol het
tipies die speler wat hy is staan nie terug nie. Dankie vir die omgee nooit lekker om so iets te sien nie maak nie saak watse trui n seun dra nie.
@ Djou – Van rolmale bly ek weg
los dit vir die kenners, of hul sou of sou nie gaan score het nie who knows …, ek het meer spesifiek verwys na die “clear cut” geleenthede soos jy al verwys het al albei kante, ai daar sal maar altyd seker geleenthede gemors word, plaas ons 4 net bo-oor die verdidigers gehekkie het die seun is lank genoeg :mrgreen:. Skoppe was traag van albei, Wonnies 10 het 1 gemis, so telling 9-0 gemaak het in begin maar anyway thanks vir jou ontleding 
. Dankie ook aan jou vir omgee oor 14, hoe gaan dit met die stut wat in die liga game by Wonnies af is ?
@scrummie: Ek dink die telling vlei Wonderboom. Eldoraigne moes baie makliker gewen het! Te veel ongedwonge foute. Speel ook te veel rugby in hulle eie half gebied.
@Djou, groot siekte van Eldo’s die jaar om nie overlaps te benut nie!
@scrummie: Volgens my notas het Eldo’s 4 keer meer as 2 manne oor bewerkstellig met geen dekverdediging in sig nie, maar swak hantering het die geleenthede verbeur. By 2 geleenthede is Eldoraigne se rolmale by Wonnies se doellyn gestop – met strafskoppe wat daarna toegeken is teen Wonnies. Eldo’s het 3 skoppe pale toe gemis en Wonnies niks.
Weeg dit op teen die volgende:
Wnderboom se lynstane was nie goed nie en het so baie balbesit afgestaan in goeie aanvalsposisies. Die no.4 slot het 2 keer deurgebreek wat die beste geleenthede vir Wonderboom was om te druk – die eerste keer het hy die bal goed versprei maar die beweging is op die doellyn gestop en die tweede keer was hy sonder ondersteuning – en dit kon albei driee gewees het. No 6-flank en no.10 was goed, asook 14 voor sy besering (hoop werklik hy is OK want hy is ‘n gevaarlike aanvaller).
@scrummie: Ja ek dink ook Wonnies het goed gespeel en nie Eldo’s toegelaat om hul wedstryd te speel nie. Eldo het swak gespeel maar Wonnies het met die druk dit veroorsaak.
Hoop regtig jul no 14 is okay. Is dit ‘n gebeurtenis wat al voorheen met hom op die rugbyveld gebeur het? Dit het reg voor my gebeur en het hy sy kop baie hard teen die grond gestamp met die duikslag.
@ Kosie – Geluk aan Eldo met die wen, sterkte aan hul met pad vorentoe.
@ Djou – Moet met jou verskil, Eldo het nie gemaklik gewen nie, as Wonderboom hul 2-3 kanse beter benut het kon telling anders gelyk het maar vat niks weg v Eldo af nie, hul het hul kanse baie beter benut well done
. Die verloor v ons nom 14 was n terugslag klink tog of hy okay is 
@GarsieOuer: nee, ongelukkig nie gekyk nie, maar ek weet van wie jy praat. Ek het die wedstryd tussen Eldoraigne en Wonderboom vir ruggas.co.za uitgesaai.
Dit is nie grappies nie en ek weet nou waarom Andre T hoofpyn het na hy ‘n wedstryd uitgesaai het. Vrek moeilik as jy nie die spelers ken nie en nog moeiliker as die luisteraars nie die spelers ken nie – want selfs al ken jy iemand se naam, weet die luisteraar steeds nie of dit ‘n senter of haker is van wie gepraat word nie.
Jammer ons het nie geweet van die wedstryd nie anders kon ons dit ook uitgesaai het.
Speel hulle nog wedstryde vanjaar?

@Djou: Ja Djou ja. Ek het duidelik te veel gepraat!
Moet sê jou insig en kennis op vele tereine kan nie gekoop word nie! Geniet die uitsaai wese. Ek verstaan hoekom jy dit doen. Daarvoor het ek groot waardering!
@Djou: Die u/11 A’s (waar my seun speel), het laas jaar 40-0 of so iets teen CP verloor (Kan nie telling 100% onthou nie) Die span was laas jaar baie gedemoraliseerd. Hierdie jaar het Anton en Werner hulle gefokus gehou. Gisteraand die telling omgedraai na ‘n 25 – 7 wen! Speel so n NZ tipe game, recycle daai bal so vinnig, mens sukkel om die spel te volg.
Daar is BAIE talent. Weet nie of jy gekyk het nie Djou. My seun is die nommer 6. Die outjie wat voor spring in die lynstaan.
@GarsieOuer: Ja, geluk aan die jong Garsies en “hard luck” vir Constantia. Wys net wat goeie afrigting kan doen.
@Kosie: Ja, was heerlik om jou te kon ontmoet in lewende lywe – en uit te vind hoe slim en nederig jy eintlik is.
Uitsaai is nou nie my sterkpunt nie, maar ons doen dit “for the love of the game” en om ander ingelig te hou.
Eldoraigne het gemaklik gewen en die telling moes eintlik baie groter gewees het. Sal nice wees as iemand kan vertel hoe die Beeldtrofee vorentoe loop, m.a.w wie speel teen wie.
@Babbelas: @Kosie Die Rooihuiskraal Hoof het dieselfde aan my vertel. Weet nie of die besluit druk van die kinders wegneem, want ons almal kompiteer om te wen, hetsy liga aldan nie.
Hierdie besluit ontneem die kinders egter van ‘n geleentheid om op gereelde basis teen die top spanne te kompiteer. Indirek benadeel dit hulle dus wanneer hulle CW proewwe speel aangesien hul nie gewoond is aan die spoed en intensiteit waarmee die “liga” kinders deelneem.
Hoop dat die Hoof sy besluit eersdaags sal verander. Volgende jaar se o13 span van Rooihuiskraal gaan ‘n bul spannetjie wees.
@Babbelas: Ek het ‘n lang gesprek met die hoof gehad so paar jaar gelede oor hulle besluit. Dit het primêr gegaan oor die druk wat daar op die jong manne geplaas word en dit blykbaar ongesond is. Tog neem hulle krieket spanne in die liga deel!
Ja Rooihuiskraal het in die omgewing van so 1600 leerders. Baie naby aan wat Eldoraigne het. Seker by die 60% van Rooihuiskraal se leerders gaan Zwartkop toe met so 10% wat Eldoraigne toe gaan en dan die res Uitsig of elders toe.
Kollega vertel my vanmore hulle skool het ook net friendlies gespeel, toe begin rugby doodloop, want glo dit of nie, kinders het nie aptyt vir konstante verloor nie.
Ouers gryp toe in en begin self afrig, seuns begin hier en daar ‘n game wen, seuns glimlag weer en spelers kom terug.
Vandat my seuns speel, was hierdie die eerste jaar wat ons u/11’s Rooihuiskraal friendly kon wen. Was n epic game.
@kosie: Kan nie verstaan hoekom Rooihuiskraal nie in die liga speel nie! Hulle het so 9 jaar terug onttrek!
Hulle moet seker die grootste Laer skool in PTA wees en behoort baie goed te doen in die liga!
@GarsieOuer: Congratulations Garsies Primary. Just a pity not all primary schools in Pretoria play in the league but prefer to rather play friendlies!
Garsfontein Primary 1st team won the league last night for the first time in their 20 year’s existence. Tight game, final score 10-0.
Garsfontein u/9A, 2’nds, 4ths also league winners, and 3rd team came second. u/11A through to league semi final.
Big up for Garsfontein Secondary first team and their Principal to come and support their two feeder schools: Garsfontein Primary and Constantia Park battle it out for the honours. They must be smiling at the prospect of getting these boys!
Bennies are playing Saints, while St David’s have a bye.
Eldoraigne played Wonderboom on Thursday to determine the Bulls makro schools B division champs. The winner goes through to the Beeld play offs as the Bulls no 4 team. Eldo’s won a scrappy game 23 – 13.
Thanks to Radio Ruggas and Djou for the broadcast.
Djou, gaaf om te kon ontmoed het en dankie vir die lekker chat!
I hope the coaching staff at MHS are reminding the class of 2015 of what happened to their 2007 predecessors in similar circumstances at College. That side had put big scores past most local opposition and recorded convincing victories over Grey High and KES in JHB but suffered their only defeat of the season at College in a game that they were expected to win.
