Wonder of enige van julle al n top 20 laerskole opgestel het? Dit sal baie insig geen oor waar die groot skole gaan soek vir seuns om te werf, bv Monument gaan deesdae baie Rustenburg toe en veral na Learskool Vastrap. Ander veg weer lekker in Pretoria oor die goeie learskole/talent daar. Wat dink julle?
@kcman: Slow to the ruck hahahaha!
Please see comment 71 for response from Pretoria Boys High
@Calamari: O16 span het met 12 teen Grey en 20 teen Affies verloor oor paas naweek wat nie te sleg is. Die afgelope 3 games maklik gewen. Paar lekker spelers wat volgende jaar die eerste span kan versterk.
O15 is die sterkste van die klomp dink ek, het goeie paasfees gehad en krieket scores opgesit teen laaste 3 opponente.
O14 het ek nog nie gesien speel maar sien hulle met 3 teen Affies verloor, so kan nie te bad wees. Die goeie ding vir my is die 4 o14 en 15 spanne en 3 o16. So daar is diepte.
Weet nie hoe/of ons werf, weet net ons het nie n koshuis so enige seun wat ons lok moet binne ry afstand van skool wees.
@Playa: Only one so far? We better sharpen up. Jokes mate.
@BOG: You will recall I said Government sees “colour” I don’t.
@QC2000: You read that corectly mate. Eish! Always tough holding on to those boys. I know one boy is already snapped up by Kingswood.
@Playa: Playa besides the great achievement of Dales firsts winning I see that Dale Junior did very well in their rugby against Selborne, their U13’as won 48-0 if i read correctly. Lets hope that side makes it to Dale College and not elsewhere.
@Cappie: As DP die sterkste OP span is het hulle ‘n moerse afdag by Oakdale gehad. Nie een van die spanne deur al die ouderdoms groepe het met minder as 30 punte verloor nie.
And if I remember correctly,you are very familiar with the setup in Bloem. While the rugby teams at GCB are 98% white, the soccer teams are probably 98% “black”.It’s simply their cultural preferences in that region. Nothing to do with discrimination. I believe they all get along like a house on fire
@kcman: You will be transforming when you don’t see colour at all. I have several children and the only ethnic group absent, is an Indian-and for no apparent reason.I see them as children and not children of different colours, They all make me angry at times,and all bring joy at other times. But I do not differentiate on colour
@BOG: Last year the Kingswood First XV had 6 players of what Government calls “colour”.
This year they are 10 players of what Government calls “colour”.
In my mind and every other’s mind it’s 15 x Kingswoodians on the field.
So sick and tired of this “colour” thing
Maybe we are transforming???
Next year there will probably be less “colour”
@kcman:
@kcman: When it comes to screwing up, they have very special talents. It might be closer than you think
@Cappie: We await DP on City Lords at the end of July.
@Playa: Gotta love SBR between schools, no Sports Minister to screw it up, either.
@kcman: And I love it!
At this rate, Beet will owe me some golden nectar come August. But long way to go, so I’m not counting my chickens yet.
On a more positive note, it might mean we will see more diverse representation in the EP/EPCD/Border teams for a change.
May schoolboy rugby forever be the winner!
@kcman: Looks like Daniel Pienaar may take the honours there.
@OG:Just as well you stayed in the beer tent at Saints as it would have been a worthless drive to KES. I watched a recording of the match and all I can say is that it was abysmal and I am not referring to the teams on the field but the officiating of that match.
I reckon our boys will realise that nothing can go worse than what they experienced on that afternoon and should be a better side for it.
EC Top 10 is going to be very tight this year with Kingswood having beaten Queen’s and Hudson so far, Queen’s having beaten Hudson, Marlow and Selborne, Dale having beaten Selborne and Pearson, Daniel Pienaar having beaten both Grey and Framesby, St Andrews having beaten Nico Malan and Pearson, Grey losing to DP and then thumping Brandwag.
It will be an interesting local season.
@CharlesZA: Hoe lyk julle ander ouderdomsgroepe wat moet deurkom oor die volgedne 5 jaar en werf julle ook?
@BOG: Ek het spesifiek gese ek praat nie van CW nie. Het ook nie gese hulle kan geskei word op enige ander vlak. Leef darem nie met blinkers aan. Was self geraak deur al hierdie kak in die 90s. As n PD speler van Bishops opstap om sy WP klere te ontvang met fokken pantoffels aan en hemp wat uithang dan weet jy die system is nie vir jou nie.
@CharlesZA: Skolesport pure? Jy maak seker n grappie? Kyk maar na die voorskrifte rondom die kies van CW spanne om te sien hoe ” pure “dit is.Jy moet totaal blind wees, meneer En as jy dink dat sport en politiek geskei kan word, is daar vir jou n moerse surprise net om die draai
@Andre T: Briljant! Ek sal hom onthou! Jou yster!
Soos Oupa Ysterman altyd gesê het………’ Kykiekakkie”
@Calamari: Al speel die Bulle hier op die hoek van Atterbury en Lynnwood in die verkeer………..sal ek nie eers by die venster uitloer
@Andre T: Dit is darem beter as die Bulle…
@CharlesZA: Lol….al word n Stormers game hier op Menlo se velde geskeduleer sal ek nie gaan kyk nie
Ek wonder of transformasie/kwotas/teikens ooit op skolevlak toegepas/afgedwing sal kan word.
@Andre T: Net nie IPL nie, daai manne is besig om T20 krieket so af te water. Wat die EPL reg kry is om games te schedule wanneer mense kan kyk. Hoe schedule hulle n Stormers game 15:00 die middag.
@CharlesZA: Weet jy ou Charlie, ek kyk deesdae maklik eerder sokker of IPL voordat ek Super Rugby kyk……en ook eerder 6 Nasies of Europese rugby eerder as Super Stront………….daai dag gaan kom wat ek ook eerder CSI Miami of Binnelanders kyk voor ek Bok rugby kyk…………….maar ek mis niks vir n skole wedstryd nie………ek wonder of daai dag gaan kom wat ek eerder Wielie Walie gaan kyk i.p.v Monnas vs EG Jansen?
@BOG: Ek het nie ontken dat dit handicap is nie, ek lees en skryf hier om skole rugby te geniet. As ek wil moan oor ons politiek sal ek dit erens anders doen. Skole rugby is amper die enigste sport wat nog pure is, en nee ek praat nie van CW nie. Dit is en was al vir jare n grap hoe die spanne gekies word. Dit het egter nie n invloed op my wat elke Saterdag langs die veld staan en kyk hoe my skool se spanne jol.
@Calamari: As Leicester nou vir Man U klop is dit verby………….5000/1 odds gewees begin v d seisoen
@Andre T: Jip, kan dit nie glo nie…Tony Pulis is bekend daarvoor om n baie verdedigende spelpatroon te volg….nie gedink hulle gaan n doel kry nie en ja….ai…die res is geskiedenis
@Calamari: En daar gly Spurs gisteraand
@BOG: Dit is hoekom ek maar vir Spurs in die Engelse Premier Liga ondersteun.
@CharlesZA: Jy kan met my post maak wat jy wil, daaroor nadink of uitdruk en gebruik as toiletpapier. Ek ontken niemand se reg, al is dit ookal hoe misplaas.Maar jou benadering is natuurlik tipies die van n ontkenner. Julle in die Weskaap wil eenvoudig nie erken dat meeste provinsiale skolespanne , by CW speel met hulle veters aan mekaar vasgebind. Dan is dit mos n geval van “in die land van die blindes—“@Die Ken: Stem met jou 100% saam. Met die SARB van Hassan Howa, het die regime mos vir ons n bloudruk gelos- n plan van aksie. Maar ek twyfel egter of die huidige generasie die guts het daarvoor. Nou sit ons met n “garden knome”, small in stature, but big in corruption, wat vir sport voorskryf. Ek merk dat daar mense is in Oz en NZ, wat hieroor gaan betoog.Reg so. En wat is hulle definisie van “transformasie”? SA is nou amptelik die mees korrupte land op die mees korrupte vasteland, die derde mees gewelddadige land ter wereld en op die rand van rommelstatus. Dit is hulle nalatenskap. Wat dink jy gaan met rugby gebeur met hulle vuil vingers betrokke. En die gimproduk by SARU, buig agteroor om saam te speel- in eie belang natuurlik.
Mei maand is beslis ‘klippe kou maand’ vir Boishaai. Eerstens speel ons Waterkloof, dan Affies, dan Grey en dan PRG…in daardie volgorde en op agtereenvolgende naweke. Die manne se karakter sal getoets word. Koppe af en hard werk. Elke wedstryd sover speel Boishaai beter. Die manne glo in hulle self.
Ek sou se Boishaai se span het sopas na 4de rat oorgeskakel.
Viva!
@BOG: Kan jy competitive define? Speel hulle nie die naweek in Oudshoorn? Gaan jy in elke post moan oor LB wat 7-9 CW spelers gaan he? Wil net weet sodat ek jou post kan skip in die toekoms.
@BOG: Met Fikile se delusions of grandeur en konstante verloor van goeie spelers na Europa en Japan, glo ek daar is nie n beter tyd vir rugby om te privatiseer en weg te breek van SARU nie. Dan kan die “nuwe” provinsies besluit om hul eie “IPL” te stig of om Frankryk en Engeland te join in ‘n provinsiale reeks.
@Gungets Tuft: Its a local rule in Bloem that when any team is more than 50 up, the match is stopped. This does not apply to visiting teams, as you could testify.
@Grasshopper: Sentraal would be competitive in most regions. Its a large school with, Im sure, almost 2000 learners (??). The previous Saturday, it was Louis Botha, the school which MUST produce ALL the quota players (7-9)for CW. The score was 55-0 , stopped after 43 minutes. This underlines the farce of CW selections and how some of the regions are handicapped-having to play with their shoe straps tied together.
@Kattes-Strofes: Aan die een kant sal die span vars wees, aan die ander kant sal hulle nie “battle hardened” wees nie.
Sien baie uit na die GCB/Garsies games Saterdag. /14 gaan taai wees, die res sal ons maar moet sien. 8)
@Gungets Tuft: it’s ridiculous, why even have the fixture?
@Rugger fan: http://schools.sarugbymag.co.za/referee-stops-grey-college-carnage/
@BOG: GC 2016 se ware kleure sal getoets word by Wildeklawer. Dan ook Grey High toernooi en Klein Karoo in Oudshoorn (bo en behalwe Wynberg 175).
@BOG: Wynberg 175th is the big one down in the Cape.
Any significant or important festivals this coming weekend.
@Tang: Thanks.
I’m afraid that I can’t help you re the rucks, as I was’t watching the game particularly closely. Also, as an ex-back, I watch the backline more closely. What I will say is that rucks appear to me to be blown inconsistently and I find that the refs appear to allow the ball carrier a lot more time to place it, which means that the fetchers are less effective. Perhaps Greenblooded can help us out re how the rucks should be interpreted at SBR level these days.
@theblackandwhite: That is the slippery slope of recruiting and paying too many scholarships. Good rugby players and their parents have huge power to negotiate and push prices up.
@Tang: at least they have identified it – and are trying to put measures in place. What I really like about Boys High is that they didn’t enter into a bidding war with the other schools.
@theblackandwhite: That is interesting. No problems with scholarships to form 1 learners. Control the number of scholarships and don’t give scholarships to boys after form 1.
@Ploegskaar: Very good question. He did seem consistent so no complaints about bias. Boys High don’t approach the ruck the same way as KES. Boys High are more upright and don’t breech on the initial ball carrier.
It will be interesting to see how the Bulls Ref will interpret the laws when KES visit Boys High later in the year.
@BrotherBear: Boys High were not able to clear the breeching players and could thus not compete.
KES play a style of rugby that is based on quick ball. I think they have to breech to get the quick ball.
@akw: Ek wonder net of die vroee stop van wedstryde nie op die ou end vir Grey negatief kan beinvloed nie. Hulle kry tans min, indien enige geleentheid om n volle wedstryd te speel.
Ek weet die redes is om opponente verleentheid te spaar, maar meen tog dat dit ook nadelig is vir Grey.
Nietemin, Hulle het dit al oor en oor bewys dat hulle steeds suksesvol is, ondanks sulke uitdagings.Wat n wonderlike rugby fabriek!
@Rugger fan: Game stopped after 31 minutes.
@Tang: I agree that interpretation by referees at breakdown is a concern and very confusing at times. When playing against KES, the Helpie players needed to physically pick the breaching player up to get him out of the way – obviously not very effective, but did provide some turnovers.
@Tang: you will be glad to hear that Boys High may be changing their ways a little. I have 2 nephews that were offered scholarships at a couple of schools to start High School next year. Boys High was one of the schools.
in response: AN OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE OF PRETORIA BOYS HIGH HAS INDICATED THAT THE SCHOOL KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT OFFERING ANY SCHOLARSHIPS
@Tang: Did he blow it the same both ways, or only PBH got pinged? Some refs at school level consistently (that’s the key word) allow a bit more at ruck time for the attacking team, as it allows for more flow both ways. Personally I prefer that, as it usually accommodates good school rugga. Too pedantic, and you have a stuttering stop-start affair
@Vleis – I will ask around and see if it is just an oversight.
I was encouraged by the PBHS first team in the second half. Probably the best rugby I have seen them play all year. Boys High have to learn how to finish. They had several chances in the second half but were unable to be patient and finish off. They get too frenetic and panicky when they get close to the opponents try line.
KES did use their scoring opportunities well and when they got into the red zone, they were able to score.
What do you think of the way KES breech at the breakdown? On many occassions it doesn’t look like players are supporting their own body weight but are lying on the initial ball carrier.
I thought players had to:
All players forming, joining or taking part in a ruck must have their heads and shoulders no lower than their hips
All players forming, joining or taking part in a ruck must be on their feet.
A player must not intentionally fall or kneel in a ruck.
A player must not intentionally collapse a ruck.
Towards the end of the first half, Boys High were penalised when KES collapsed a ruck right on the KES try line.
@Vleis: The breakdown is so vital to modern rugby and I just felt Boys High never had a chance to compete because KES closed the rucks off completely.
This is my view, you may have seen it totally differently.
Just an aside – I was following the Grey v Sentraal game on twitter – I see the half time score is also the full time score? Did Sentraal really hold Grey to a pointless 2nd half – or was the game somehow stopped early?
@Playa: Well done to Dale on the 100th win. The Grey game on 4 June is going to be awesome , could go either way i think. Selborne have lost to Queens and now Dale, must be honest I didnt expect that or for Grey to lose to DP, but thats what makes school boy rugby what it is.
@ Kcman , how are Kingswood doing ? Tried to get to KES to watch them play on the Saturday against KES but couldnt get away from the beer tent at Saints.
Anyone keen to take a shot and list so far the top 10 in the EC ?
@Tang: I hope that is just an oversight. Please let me know if you find out for sure. If you do indeed play St Alban’s, it will be part of a sequence of 8 home games in a row for Boys High!
@kcman: Hahaha!
@Ringo: Queens on 14 May (Dale Reunion) and Grey on 4 June in PE. Last time we beat Grey in PE was back in 1994…so it would be sweet to get that win.
Seems Dale have made Kearsney Festival a permanent tour. It’s been some years since we did Saints/St John’s.
@Vleis: I only see Hockey vs St Albans on 18 May. I could be wrong but I see no rugby.
Boys High play their first home fixture on 14 May VS Westville and then St Benedicts on 21 May (also at home).
@Ploegskaar: ek hoop maar jy is reg….ek glo ons sal wen, ons skuld hul een na laasjaar se loesing….maar dit gaan hard wees.
Ander faktor is Dinsdag se Limpopo proewe waar hul as span teen Merensky speel….nou die matriek ouens in Merensky het nog nooit die geleentheid gehad om teen Vossies te speel nie, al is dit nou nie-amptelik en deel van proewe. hulle sal ook nooit die kans kry om regte wedstryd te speel nie, die 1ste groep wat nooit van std 6 tot matriek die kans kon kry nie……so hul gaan met alles in hulle ‘n punt probeer bewys….sover ek weet, is hul pak heelwat groter as die vossies en het hulle ‘n 60 tal teen Louis Trichard behaal die naweek…..BV sal te sterk wees…maar daar kan dalk ‘n paar baie seer lywe uit die proefwedstryd kom….5 jaar is ‘n lang tyd om te wag, en droebek toe te kyk hoe jou buurskool trofee inpalm.
Elk geval, ek vertrou BV sal goed rekenskap gee teen die Brakke, en hopelik wen…..but you never know, dink nog steeds dit gaan close wees.
@tierkopkraal: janee, Grey was geskud deur julle laas week, en Brandwag moes dit ontgeld…geluk met jul wen oor Grey PE, maar ek het verwag dat julle veel verder teen Framesby sal wen, gegewe hul power resultate vanjaar….wys jou net, na so ‘n ’emotional high’ soos laas week is dit moeilik om selfde peil te hehaal vlge wedstryd…..darem kon jul dit deurtrek, en ‘n wen is ‘n wen
@Playa: Great win ,Playa! Glad for you. You have stood by your team for a number of unsuccessful years, and this victory is long overdue. Dale is playing very good rugby this season. Well done !!
@Playa: It’s actually quite amazing how well Dale are doing considering that they lost about 12 of their star players (incl. Kwezi Mafu) at the end of Grade 7 to Selborne, DHS, Southdowns, Kingswood, Grey, etc. I remember this age group really struggling in u14, u15 and u16, The coaching at Dale must be unbelievably good. I presume that Dale must have also added some players over the years?
Grey PE made sure that they do not lose two in a row to Uitenhage schools. Did not expect Brandwag to lose at that margin.
@Ploegskaar: Ploeg! Ek stry nie oor Hoffman se vermoens nie. Soos reeds gese-Ek het die Brakkies seun net die 1 keer in aksie gesien , en na ek gehoor het van sy cv., hoop ek net dat hy n regverdige geleentheid kry in die proewe. Die Brakke, en natuurlik ook ander skole wat nie onder die groot honde tel nie,se spelers moet absoluut briljant wees om enigsins raak gesien te word. Voorbeeld is Brakkies se Cournal Skosan wat nooit enige WP span kon haal nie ,maar nou Super rugby vir die Leeus speel.
Cheslin Kolbie was hul laaste Cravenweek speler, en selfs sy keuse, het destyds vir n gemor onder die groot honde gesorg.
@Playa: I wonder how many other schools boast 100 wins iver their closest rivals really love how dale play pity we have no seen then in Jozi for while. Seems Dale are putting together a stellar season when do they play Queens and Grey those should crackers
@Vyfster: I think like I said before the game versus Vories the boys need to take it a week and a game at time and not care about who beats who by how much. SBR is definitely very unpredictable anything can happen on any day very entertaining rugby hey
@Playa: I am sure they will have a lot more on their minds than only the lunch, hahahaha.
@kcman: That really should be a great game. I hope the boys realise that they are not there for the KC lunch
@Playa: Looking forward to hosting you guys on 28 May, should be a cracker of a game.
@Ringo: It’s been a long wait indeed…since 2013 (99th win was back in 2012). I am really chuffed for the boys, and for Griffy and Barry – the brandy and cokes must have been flowing in King last night.
@Kattes-Strofes: Ek glo Duren Hoffman het die binnebaan om Duimpie se 2IC te wees, of minimum Akademie 10. Vir ‘n volpakket 10 hoef jy nie verder te soek, goeie voete en D, goeie verspreiding, onvoorspelbaar en goeie voet uit hand en van tee
@Vyfster: Nee man, hierdie mooi broodjies en claim vir underdog nonsens moet nou stop, Brackenfell is, letterlik, nie in dieselfde liga as BV die jaar nie. BV met 20+, nie wat Kattes of my tjom Stokkies wil hoor nie, maar sal wragtig ‘n baie dodgy ref vat om dit te swaai
@Kattes: jawat, ek dink dit gaan ‘n goeie game wees…die Brakke se uitslae lyk heel goed so dit behoort ‘close’ te wees…..seker dit sal darem beter as laasjaar gaan…..BTW, ek weet nie of daar al amptelike program is nie, ek hoor maar deur die grapevine dat die 2 speel Saterdag….miskien gebeur dit nie….ek hoop wel dat hul sal speel, want dink regtig dit sal goeie wedstryd wees.
Jy is reg, ek wil ook nie regtig oor individuele spelers praat nie….maar met aanvanklike lees het dit amper voorgekom of die arme kind soos ‘n kommoditeit verhandel word…werwing is 1 ding, maar ek hoop nie ons land 1 dag in situasie, waar daar ‘transfer windows’ ens soos in beroepsokker is nie, party dae lyk dit of ons op pad soontoe is……kom ons hoop die laaitie is gelukkig waar hy nou is, en kry ‘n billike kans om sy talente miskien op CW vlak ten toon te stel…en dat hy nou uitgelos word om sy laaste jare op skool in vrede te voltooi
@Ringo, vleis: even I am starting to get excited about the Jeppe/KES game at seasons end….i am certain it is going to draw one of the biggest crowds in the history of SA School rugby…..I might just be part of that crowd if other duties allow, it is going to be a huge occasion with tension, drama and spectacle….not to be missed!
@Playa: congrats….brilliant result for Dale!
@Ringo: Yep, St Alban’s lost to a last minute try v Boys High last year.
The privates from other provinces have different calendars.
@Vleis: okay that makes sense to me. Do they bid Privates from KZN not follow the IEB calendar cuase I see House; Hilton and Kearney seem to not be on Holiday like Saint Albans, Bennies, Saints and Saint Johns
@ Vleis and @ Tang I correct myself as Boys High did beat Saint Albans last year and it was on Saturday do not know why this year the fixture is not on the program for both schools….
@Ringo: St Alban’s normally play Boys High on a Saturday, but the people that draw up the fixture list are from Jhb, as Boys High and St Alban’s play in the Jhb “league”. So sometimes they make a mess of some of the Pretoria schools fixtures. That said, I agree that St Albans should combine with Sutherland/Southdowns/Cornwall Hill when they play Boys High/KES/Jeppe/etc.
St Alban’s is on holiday at present, they go back on 3 May, but play in the Grey PE fest next weekend.
Well done on Jeppe’s win and good luck in CT – I’m sure that you’ll win both games.
@Playa: congratulations Playa really thought Dale boys would have wait a long time for the 100th win it seemed they had a big monkey on their backs mentally that is. The race to be top dawg in EC this year is really heating up hey
@beet: it is really impressive what Northwood did in the second half as I have seen in the games I have watched that Jeppe has always been better in the second half seem to shift up a gear or two. The wind must have been gale force winds then
glad the kids have travelled safely back no incidences. Wynberg fest this coming weekend will be quite a treat for slaapstad residents 
lots of qualitty soutie teams and running rugby will be the order of the day
@Vleis: if I am boys high I would be dreading the idea of losing my Wednesday fixture two years in row…. and to be honest Saint Albans have played decent and very competitive rugby for a number of years and I would think have earned a spot on a Saturday with boys High. I would think a combination of Saint Albans and Sutherland could fit into a Saturday against boys high if it a question of depth. I am stoked about the win in Durban its hard down there…. the evils of Florida road were avoided. This week the mother of teenage temptation in SA awaits the boys Long Street in Slaapstad…… Hugenoot and Bishops will be taugh lets see what happens:wink: Did Saint Albans not play yesterday ?
@HE: Good assestment of the game. Also watched and agree that it looked like their minds were elsewhere. The moment the 9 went down I feared the worse. When their backline gets clean ball and space or turnover ball they very dangerous.
100th win for Dale against Selborne!!!!!!!
Quick quick quick with a very big stick to chase away the big baboon!
@Vyfster: Skollie!! Jy is reg wat getalle betref is Brackenfell die grootste skool. Daar is egter nie baie seuns wat ons geliefde spel be-oefen nie. Wat betref die loskakel, wil ek net noem, met alle respek, dat ek nie die seun in n verleentheid wil stel nie, Die seun het blykbaar onder moeilike omstandighede steeds sy talent laat praat , met die gevolg van die Sport skool en daarna Jansies. Volgens my inligting het hy maar gesukkel om in die noorde aan te pas en het hy met n ompad by Brakkies beland.
Nietemin, ek het hom net vandag in aksie gesien en hy het my ,en my oudste klong, wat ook nogal n goeie oog het vir talent, dadelik be-indruk. Ek het daarna bietjie meer oor hom navraag gedoen.
Ek hoop net die WP keurders sien ook wat ons gesien het. Glo nie ons is verkeerd nie, inagnemend, die seun se geskiedenis tot dusver nie.
Wat betref die wedstryd teen jou manne. Daai telling teen Jeppe het almal laat regop sit. Ek het hulle verlede jaar by St. Johns in aksie gesien en weet dat heelwat van daardie manne is nog in die span.Hulle was toe al warm. Nou met jul weghol sege,moet spanne mos maar n bietjie “worry”, of hoe?
@Ringo: Aah Hah. I thought that might be the case! To be fair, every time the 13 stepped a PBHS player, the KES pupils went ballistic, so I must presume that he (and his twin brother) have settled in well!
Congrats on your team’s win.
@Kattes-strofes: hehe….dis vir my snaaks dat niemand agterkom dat BV ‘n voorliefde vir soutie spanne het nie…ek meen, wen vir KES, Jeppe en St Davids, maar staan en verloor teen die boertjies van Marlow, wat ‘n uiters powere seisoen beleef.
so die outjies sal hulle koppe moet regkry, jy kan nie net goed speel as jy anglo-boere oorlog oorveg nie, anders gaan hulle sukkel teen Brackenfell…..dan moet hulle nog vlge week dinsdag Limpopo proewe speel…en seker direk daarna vir 3 dae op bus sit na Oudshoorn….so nie veel sprake van oefening vlge week nie…so sal maar sien hoe dit gaan.
ek dink hierdie tipe faktore speel veel groter rol in uitslae as wat mense dink….dis hoekom skole se uitslae soms alle logika verontagsaam, ‘n skool soos Daniel Pienaar se uitslae op en af soos ‘n yo-yo.
erens gelees Brackenfell is die heel grootste skool in Wes-Kaap?
wat my aandag trek is jou opmerking oor hul 017 loskakel….hoe op aarde is jy in Wes-Kaap se sportskool, dan in EG Jansen (waar hy valke verteenwoordig het) en nou in Brackenfell…hoe het hy daar beland? hoe is jy teen std 9 al in 3 verskillende skole oor land, weens jou rugbytalent….dit is voorwaar vreemd, lyk of hy elke jaar van skool verander? Sulke goed kan sekerlik nie goedgepraat word nie?
@Ringo: Yeah no Hacjivah but first half was the Jeppe backline roadshow with Wandile Similane mc’ing it. Jeppe’s backs played really really well in that first half, oozing with confidence.
Full credit to Northwood. Never gave up and with that relatively strong wind behind them ended up winning the second half as well as the territorial battle for the second 35 min.
@Kattes-Strofes: Nee, wat, Kattes, Brackenfell het BV verlede jaar so ver op ‘n drafstap gewen, dit behoort ‘n wandelinkie in die park te wees vir hulle.
Brackenfell 18 Durbanville 15. Nie goeie wedstryd nie, met beide spanne wat gans te veel basiese foute begaan het.(Miskien oor die derby faktor, tussen die buur dorpe).
Brakkies verdien egter die sege. Hul voorries meestal in beheer.
Brakkies se no. 3 Ronan Witten baie goed in gebroke spel maar sal moet werk aan sy skrum tegniek.Hul o/17 loskakel Quan Eyman, vol bol en beslis n kandidaat vir hoer louere. Uitstekende hande en blitsig van die merk af. Hy was glo voorheen by die Wes – Kaap se Sportskool, voordat hy na EG Jansen gelok is. Was in Valke se Grant Khomo span, sowel as hul Craven Sewes span.
Durbies se Jaco du Plessis (haker) en Gideon Ludick(flank) baie goed gespeel.
Brakkies sal beslis moet verbeter. Hulle het n paar rowwe wedstryde voor teen van die WP se groot kanonne. Eers het hulle Vyfster se omgekrapte Ben Vorster( by Klein Karoo in Oudshoorn) om mee rekening te hou. Ek vermoed dat hulle gaan knor in daardie kragmeting indien hulle nie drasties verbeter nie.
Watched the Stellenberg game. Probably their worst game so far this season. The loss of their star scrum half to what looks to be a serious ankle injury made things even worse. Although plenty of speed at the back, their fawards look disinterested in the game…maybe their minds were Kimberly. Notwithstanding, still a good win.
@AffieOuer: Thanks for that. Selbornes season seems to be unravelling a bit. Playa is going to be a happy chappy. It’s thoroughly enjoyable beating the baboona. Going to be a good game on Dale’s reunion, but first we must try get past grey. Seems unlikely after the way they played today.
Any idea of the other scores between Dale and Selborne?
@Vleis: Did you see the similarities in frame and stature of 13 and 14 I would also be throughing my toys around if I was Parktown
Boishaai vs. Wynberg 48-7. Boishaai started slowly and struggled to beat the Wynberg rush defence in the 1st. half. Only 15-0 up at the break.
However , in the 2nd. half the forwards and backs combined brilliantly to set up some great tries.
Francke Horn ,flank (what a talent), Daniel Jooste , hooker and Reece Bezuidenhout , loosehead prop the stars in a hard working pack. Michael Visser , scrum half, crisp and secure service from the base of the scrum. Manny Rass, centre still rested , hopefully ready for Wildeklawer.
@Vyfster: started to count my chickens early again Northwood won the second half 7 – 3 final score 46 – 14 still a nice win …… I was coming back from work and decided to stop by at Red school in Houghton where they were playing against boys high the Red school won 20 – 8 … My assessment is that the boys from Pretoria could have won but the problem was that they seemed afraid of the prospects even in the first half is simple conversion to square the scores 10 – 10 was missed alas aluta continues for our brothers from PTA #boyshighmoralhighground holders…. I should say the skinny 10 from the Red school was impressive elusive runner distribution was good….. kicking for goals was poor
I watched KES beat Boys High by 20 to 8. KES missed all five attempts at poles: four conversions and one penalty. To be fair, Boys High also missed some easy kicks.
The game was quite scrappy, but KES did put together some good passages of play. They’ll need to sort out their line-out though. Their 13 has a great step and looks quite dangerous, but holds onto the ball for too long. Boys High’s fullback was very good and their forwards are OK, but the team battles to put many phases together – especially when the backs get involved.
KES were missing quite a few game-breakers, including the SAC’s chap and the grade 11 8th man. Perhaps Roger can confirm how many they were missing and when they’ll be back? Boys High seemed to be missing the large lock/flank that would’ve helped their cause. Where is he Tang? Another question for Tang, although the Boys High v St Alban’s game is down on the calendar for Wednesday, 18 May, I heard a rumour (via Boys High) that the rugby will not take place? Can you confirm?
GCB 55 vs Sentraal 3 – wedstryd vroeg gestop.
@QC2000: 24-19 for Dale
Any update College vs House?
Queens beat Graeme 50-6. Not Queens’s best game, but I suppose it was always going to be tough after the high of last week. Anyone knows the Selborne Dale scores
Monnas 29 – 11 Garsies Baie geluk Monnas !!
Error-ridden match in Paarl. Gim deserved to win 17-13, but SACS was more than capable. Could have pulled off the win of the year. Gim struggled to gain lineout ball and had at least 4/5 scoring chances but squandered them. Defence on both sides was excellent. SACS control of the loose ball was excellent.
geluk Nelspruit…moes ‘n riller gewees het!
Wow…
Nellies 31 – 29 EG
HTS Daniel Pienaar 31-29 Framesby. Full time.
SACS almost did an ‘Affies’ against Paarl Gim 13-17 i think…yo, thats close!
@Beet: Kathu 10-5 Vryburg…bit of a surprise, if correct, didn’t even know kathu had a rugby team and Vryburg is nr 30 on rankings.
Pietersburg 41-20 Menlopark…another large school easily disposing a macro school…I expected PHS to win, but maybe not so far.
The fact that Affies 2nds managed to beat Oos-Moot 1st XV illustrated perfectly how things have changed….Oos-Moot 1sts have a 50% win record against Affies 1sts…..played 10 W 5 L 5…now they can’t beat the seconds!
Wynberg 7-48 Boishaai
@Ringo: good on yer,mate. Seems you’re back on track! Must be an spectacle of running rugby…
@beet: I am certain Hacjivah has not gone to Durban. Apparently its a massacre down at Nortwood and at Halftime Jeppe were 43 -7 up
wish I was there that backline is a marvel when they are in full flight

@Ringo: sorry Beet no team list but apparently the team is relatively unchanged except 8th man has stayed behind at home. But this is from an unconfirmed source
@Speartackle: Spisie!! Dit was die grootste pot bollie rugby wat ek in n lang tyd gesien het. Die Sharks het gewen ja, maar ook net omdat die Highlanders nog vrotter as hulle was. En die Cheetahs lyk of hulle 7 man rugby speel. En op verdediging lyk dit na “touch” rugby.
Jo! Jo! Sies man!! Waar gaan ons manne se vaardighede dan heen na skool? Daar is oorgenoeg talentvolle spelers, maar dit lyk kompleet of hulle vergeet het van die basiese beginsels van die spel.
@beet: I do not Beet I will try organise for you and will mail if I get it.
@Ringo:Hey Ringo. Do you have the Jeppe team for tomorrow’s game please?
Hope the Jeppe boys have a safe trip to Durban; Bus trips are always quite nervy especially with the culture of bad driving in our country…. Just hope those entrusted with care and duty deliver it faithfully…. special shout to squash and tennis boys as well you bus driver is man of valour and you all should arrive safely in Durban… In total nearly 600 young men are going down to Durban to hope fully make their school proud and make nice memories with their friends
Sterkte aan al die spanne wat die naweek speel. Dit blyk of Boishaai nou al in 3de rat is. Ons manne bou stelselmatig op vir die afspraak met Affies by Wildeklawer. Ek weet daar word nog manne gerus die naweek wat klein ‘niggles’ het. Viva!
@Skoorsteen: Sarazens vs Wasps
Is daar n tv game die naweek?
After the 1st round of Lions u18 trials they have chosen 10 teams to play on 9 May after which they will select 4 teams. Also the players who missed the 1st trials wiil play on 03 May to make it to the 10 teams for 9 May. Here is a list by school with the players that plays on 03 May in brackets.
Monnas 21 (2)
Jeppe 17 (2)
Helpmekaar 16 (1)
Kes 15 (3)
Florida 13 (1)
St Stithians 10 (5)
St Benedicts 10 (1)
Parktown (12) Seems like they all missed the 1st trials.
Only included sholls with 10 or more players.
Sharks managed to beat a 13 man Jaguars team…..now can they beat a 14 man Highlanders team with 65 minutes to play???????
Another dull day on the KZN front and Grey might only play 28 minutes
Beet, Glenwood vs Kearsney is Old Boys day at Glenwood. I celebrate my 20 year Reunion
Grote van die naweek blyk Garsfontein Monument the wees.
