@Roger: a few years ago Helpies would have been classified as “Kindergarden” relative to others. People must really be less sensitive.
@beet: Point taken on terminology – meant to be an artistic approach to indicate relativeness and NOT specific to any school. Pity that obvious tongue in cheek comments are being vilified. Point remains that some players look like stars when playing against poor opposition and/or when play is very loose. Specifically players that have a very loose and unstructured approach but continuously stand out to put themselves in a better playing position. Play of some teams are actually built around specific players who then get all the opportunities and the hard workers get NO mention, although they actually play better rugby. During the really tough games the unstructured players many times come unstuck and cannot contribute. BUT also very important that structured players can adapt to different forms of play. So, apologies to those teams that feel they should not be referred to as “Kindergarden”.
@Hooit: Nee daai 2o minute aan n kant geen skop rolling subs games tel nie..
Ek is amper lus en sluit Wildeklawer ook uit omdat die net 60 minuut wedstryde is……bitter baie kan in 10 minute gebeur…..vra maar die Monnas Garsies ondersteuners…….toe Garsfontein iets soos 21 punte in 7 minute aangeteken het….ek dink jy was daai dag selfs daar
@Hooit: big test coming for them at the Parktown under 14 festival – they are playing Helpmekaar and Parktown on Friday, St Davids and St Albans on Saturday and Hilton and CBC on Sunday
@Hooit: Hello Hooit – I see the KES u14a have played 2 won 2 and put 70 points past both opponents – how is young Kurt doing
@Roger: Howzit Roger, you holding onto your seat as we approach 70:1?
@Vleis: House gave Helpies some points two years ago at Saints! That being said we have Sacs and Saints looming large at the Saints festival. That will test the House metal, and then the annual derby later in the season against St John’s will be a great game to watch. House has dominated that derby for the last 5 or so years, but I noticed St John’s had the better of some of the age group games last year.
@Speartackle: So as ek die formule reg verstaan is Boland Landbou nou ook in die plaat?
@McCulleys Workshop: hello MW – I was referring to the Lions set up – obviously nationally there are many deserving candidates. However, with this particular player what stands out is his leadership abilities – might be a factor.
@Vleis: I wasn’t sure who BB was referring to so chose to ignore but as you alluded to, people have very short memories. Helpmekaar have a great team this year and are obviously doing a lot right in their set up but it wasn’t too long ago that they were playing in the same league as Linden, Randburg, Voorentoe etc. Good on them and good for the Lions but remember – swings and roundabouts
@beet: Well said. I’m sure that BB would not enjoy people calling Helpies a Kindergarten school because they conceded over 50 points to a smallish soutie private school less than two years ago.
Also, the player in question from Saints already played in the Lions Craven Week team last year as a 17 year-old, so he’s certainly no flash in the pan.
@beet: In the House Wville game two weeks ago the Wville 10 stood out. The House defense was superb, the packs evenly matched, and yet this guy was their only player who frequently found space.
Great virtual reality app. Part of my problem with KZN CW selection has been exactly the point you describe, too many GW players, and while they may have dominated as a school side, an average player has been made to look good because of a few good players around him or a big pack. Come CW they are shown up.
@Roger: He’ll have some tough competition, Franke Horn comes to mind. Greenblood banked his lunch box on Richardson a dead cert for SA Schools this year at 7/8. Im not sure we’ve seen enough of this season yet.
@BrotherBear: Look the message you’re trying to convey isn’t lost on me but I do think the kindergarden term is uncalled for. There are a few select schools at the top who enjoy a measure of consistency over a longer period of time and somewhere below that are a host of schools that go through various stages and sizes of peaks and troughs over the same length of time, Helpmekaar being one of them. If you want to brand another school’s rugby team a kindergarden, make sure your school has been beating them or schools in their league comfortably for the last 10 or so years.
From my experience barring the odd disgruntled 2nd XV parent, generally supporters/old boys/parents are proud of their schools, love celebrating the school’s achievements no matter how big or small and when kids from their schools perform well, a few like to let people know about it . The kids don’t pick their opponents and no good coach or mentor ever tells a kid not to reach for the stars or do his best.
Some of the pedigree kids are going to go all the way in rugby no matter how good or bad their team or the opponents they play against are. Occasionally these pedigree kids might come unstuck against a stronger team because their team is just not as strong or good as the opposition’s or because they had a bad game and this trait will recur throughout their very successful rugby careers and won’t be limited to just the time they spent playing SBR. Other pedigree kids are not going to go all the way – a small % of them may not even realise their SBR dreams while for others SBR will mark the ceiling of their achievements. And then there are going to be a few unknowns and/or relatively unknowns who surprise all and end up becoming the real deals.
It’s all part of a common sense reality that unfolds all the time for those who have been following SBR for a long time.
Sometimes it’s worth looking at a player in a match and asking yourself how would that player have performed in a stronger team and maybe other times we should be considering how a player would perform in a weaker team.
Over this last weekend I watched a school player who was receiving poor service and his opponents ruthlessly placed him under pressure all game long. He struggled and for many watching the verdict may have been that he’s not the right player for that possie yet I was sure that I saw things in his play that made me think he could succeed in his designated position if circumstances were different. His opponent produced what I think for me personally will be one of the best individual performances for a player in that position for the whole season. The opponent player is gifted, he was cool headed and had that rare ability to seemingly make time stand still around him so that he had extra seconds to decide what to do and do it really well but he also had some good platforms to work off and he didn’t ever have a defender in his face a nanosecond after receiving the ball. Maybe one day in the future we’ll have smartphone simulators that allow us to switch players around and see how they perform under different scenarios and then perhaps we will be able assess players competing for the same honours with true equality.
@beet: let’s see how these so called “wonder-kids”, with pedigrees surpassing the Queen, perform against some decent opposition. Easy to shine against the kindergarden. But then, consistent performance must be rewarded. Early days.
Absolutely amazing how normal kids can be elevated to Gods through self-fulfilling comments.
@BrotherBear: @Roger: how old is the St Stithians loosie? He looked good against Jeppe
@BrotherBear: he was out most of the season last year with torn ligaments hence my comment “if he stays fit”. Those injuries have a nasty habit of reoccurring …..
I would love to see Snyman and Gordon in the same loose trio – dynamic!
@Roger: what a really strange comment. Why on earth would he not stay fit? Or do you mean able? Punters saying Mark Snyman to captain Lions, but Spilhouse has veto. No better loose trio combination in country at moment – Go Helpies. Let’s see if Jeppe can get any loose ball to run with tommorrow.
http://www.ruggas.co.za/?p=11624
match report – if Travis Gordon stays fit he will certainly be in the running to captain the Lions and possibly SA Schools
@Ringo: @Vleis: the Reds were in fine fettle on Saturday. Score at halftime was 11-0 but in the second half the passes started to stick and Boys High did well to keep the score to a reasonable level. This is a very good KES team – solid front row, great loose forwards, excellent fly half, pace to burn out wide and an inspirational captain. The line out does need work though …
The fly half unfortunately went off with concussion so he may miss the festival.
@coach: I guess I am clutching at any excuse I can find…. losing to a private school is not palatable….. I think maybe my comment was more along the lines of while the Jeppe boys are big they seem to have what for want of a better word what I would call water muscles no blame opined on anybody though maybe just me being clumsy with my words….. I am quietly optimistic about the team though must say, the pieces are there just need them to be more clinical in their execution which maybe the skills deficit that you are talking about….
I guess with time our young team should come together better….
@Vleis: Sure we can do that…. Maybe the Saturday game at KES fest if it suits you. But closer to the time we can arrange like you say. Cheers and goodluck to Saint Albans tomorrow early evenings in Hillbrow are extra chilly and that might make the game harder for them.
@Couchmavin: Ja maar nie volgens die Woesrand formule nie. Ek sal die hele formule nog uiteensit sodra Dag 1000 aanbreek
@Speartackle: Volgens jou en Boishaaipa se aanname is GC dan nou ook al 70 jaar onoorwonne teen Vrede al het hulle nog nooit vir Vrede gewen nie. ???
@Valkie: Jy moet Menlo se 0/14 span ervaar……Helpies en daai manne kan gaan kyk hoe lyk n regte Dream Team
@Couchmavin: Jy sal my nie glo maar Vrede hou die rekord teen Grey Bloem as die langste tydperk sedert hul laaste verloor ek dink dit is nou al 70 jaar
@Shakes Spear: Broer, die Monnas 0/14 span bestaan uit reuse uit. Ek het hulle die afgelope naweek in Nelspruit gesien speel. Vertel ons gou, jou seuntjie is no:___ ? Ek verstaan van ‘n betroubare bron dat hierdie span betrokke gaan wees by 100 jaar feesverpligtinge van Monnas oor 4 jaar (2021)?
Al wat die span nog kort is fiksheid, want nie al die manne is nie ewe fiks nie, daar is ‘n paar passasiers in die span.
@Speartackle: Ek hoor Vrede het laas in 2009 verloor toe jy as 35 jarige in matriek was. Ek verstaan jy het ñ drie in jou eie doelgebied gedruk. Van daai dag af het jou skoonma wat ook die skoolhoof was alle rugby wedstryde afgestel. Van toe af speel hulle nou net waterpolo in hulle droeë swembad. As ek my somme doen is hulle 3324 dae onoorwonne. Hoekom het jy ons nie gesê nie? Jy altyd tog so beskeie.
@Speartackle: Soek jy nou weer skoor vandag? Die manne van die Kaap wil rugby speel, hulle wil nie tel nie….
@Ringo: I think KES at KES will be very difficult this year – especially now that St Alban’s are missing their big lock (vice-captain) and giant prop (120kg).
No problem to buy you beers, but we’ll have to set up an exact time closer to the fest, as I’ll be spending a lot of time at Saints because St Alban’s are playing there and my son wants to go there. That said, KES is very close to my home now, so will definitely pop in at some point.
@Speartackle: Nes jy wil Spiesie…dis jou 1000 Dae Plesier…You call the Shots!
Die datum BLY 26 Mei
@Couchmavin: In daai geval is die 1000 dae eers op 14 Des 2017 … Of andersydsgesiene …. jy ook se dat Affies 3 dae laas verloor het!..So dit is nou 941 dae laas wat Boishaai verloor het….Many ways to skin n cat!..
@Couchmavin: Jy kan nie vir Affies gebruik as n maatstaf, hulle is nou in die Plaatafdeling saam Helpies, Monnas, Garsies, Menlo en n duisend ander skole
26 Mei is die offisiele datum……..use it or lose it
@Couchmavin: Niks belaglik hieraan……as jy vandag verloor is jy van more weer onoorwonne…..dit is hoe wenners dink en hoe wenners wenners bly…….wannamakers moet eers weer wen voor hulle verloor en andersom
@Speartackle: Nou verstaan jy waaroor ek vir 10 dae lank gaan worry..netnou kom net helfte van my span heel terug!
@BoishaaiPa: Ek het nou bietjie na daai highlights gekyk teen Sacred Heart…..daar is darem maar n paar Polinyse wat nie vir my 0-18 lyk nie……….NZ het darem maar n moerse voordeel met daai Eilanders se natuurlike fisieke bou
@BoishaaiPa: Nee nie net wedstryd dae nie. Al wat ek probeer sê is dat jy tog onoorwonne is van ñ eerste wen af en nie van ñ laaste verloor nie al is dit oor 2 of 3 seisoene. Volgens jou aaname is Affies nou onoorwonne vir 3 dae. Volgens my aaname sal Affies eers weer onoorwonne wees die dag waarop hulle ñ wedstryd wen. Ek stem inelkgeval saam,hierdie is ñ onnodige belaglike debat.??
@Speartackle: Daai was nie n foon in jou sak nie…Ek het gehoor dit was skoonma se dubbeldoor wat se batteries begin flat raak het…
Hele boksemdaais uit Krugersdorp gaan seker Paasnaweek af Toti toe vir Kearsney..Arme T gaan oorval word met al die kuiergaste!
@BoishaaiPa: Sy foon het in my broeksak vibreer
@Speartackle: Ek hoor jy het toe verloor op die “Phone n Friend” vraag…Jy het glo vir T gebel maar toe wil hy nie jou oproep vat nie!
@Speartackle: Jy moet nou kalm raak met hierdie Dag 1000 ding. Dit gaan jou maller as wat jy reeds is maak. Jy gaan daai Paarl pappies se huwelike opfnok….hulle sê mos n man kan nie libido as hy vol stres en spanning is en jy weet reeds dat Kapies useless in daai deel van ball games
Dit is vir my baie lekker om ook nou deel van die blog te wees, altyd gehoor en gelees maar met my seun nou in graad 8 in Monnas het ek besluit om ook deel te wees. Hoop ek kan n positiewe bydra lewer soos my oom Spear. …Dankie vir wat oom vir ons beteken
@BoishaaiPa: Dit is wat 2017 so merkwaardige jaar gaan maak….dit is senutergend hoor……laat my baie dink aan toe ek destyds aan “Who wants to be a Millionare?” deelgeneem het……..gelukkig het ek senuwees van staal……die sagste deel van my is my tande
@Speartackle: En daar het ons nog ‘n Spies op die Blog. Nogal ‘n Wikkel Spies!!
@Speartackle: Jy gaan darem lelik afgeP.. wees as hulle more daar in NZ vasval!…lol…
..Al jou reelings desmoers..
@Speartackle: Gosh Spear this is so exciting
I am getting so charged up here
@BoishaaiPa: Ek is oop vir oortuigings……julle kan kies wie almal daar moet wees. Hierdie is beslis die onbetwiste hoogtepunt van die jaar…..ons moet groot gaan……dalk gebeur so iets nooit weer
En as Dag 1000 n sukses is gaan ons voluit vir Dag 2000
Guinness Books is die voorland..
HJS……..History Joins Superiority
@Speartackle: Jy moet eerder kyk of jy Bottomless Coffee Band kan kry…hulle manager is n Old Boy!..
@Shakes Spear: Wie is jy boet?
@BoishaaiPa: Reeds besig om met die betrokke onoorwonne spelers te onderhandel. Lions unie bereid om van die Boishaaiers af te gee vir die seremonie. Ook gebruik maak van tegnologie soos Skype, Video Calls, Whatsapp oproepe vir die wat dit nie kan maak……big screens…..marquee tente…..Kaapse Klopse…….Baardskeerdersbos Orkes……the works
Gaan groter wees as jul Augustus kaskenades vanjaar
@Speartackle: Aan wie gaan jy die medaljes oorhandig?..Jy moet maar daai Saterdag Brugstraat toe kom en kom goeie rugby kyk tussen ou tradisionele opponente wat nie bekers nodig het om gemotiveer te word vir n wen en goeie rugby nie!..
Kan ek ook deel van die party wees asb?
@BoishaaiPa: Daai dag het aangebreek na die Marlow verloor………niks se stories van in en af seisoen nie….Die 1000 dag ding het begin van laaste verloor
Ons gaan groot makietie hou in die Paarl na Dag 1000….het reeds in die Paarl Post spasie bespreek vir die uitnodigings…..ook teen die landpale. Het vir my n spesiale baadjie al gekoop vir die toespraak en oorhandiging van die Dag 1000 medaljes.
@Speartackle: Daar gaan pokkol gebeur daai dag want dit gaan elk geval nooit by 1000 dae uitkom nie!…en ons is ook nie geworried daaroor nie…maar as dit wel die geval is kan jy maar privaat seremonie daar in Woesrand hou en vir ons die fotos post!
@Couchmavin: Of wat dan van die dae tussen seisoene?…So jy reken mens tel dan net die wedstryd dae? ..Maar ek gaan nie my kop hieroor breek nie.,,.Dis Spiesie se Plesier die 1000 dae ding…Ek het hom maar net reggehelp dat hy die regte info het.
@BoishaaiPa: Nou okay dan…maak Dag 1000 dan 26 Mei
Mag ek asb deel van die verrigtinge wees?
Ek wil iets spesiaal oorhandig
@BoishaaiPa: Net nog ñ onnodige klip in die statistiese bos: Onoorwonne dag moet tog begin wanneer jy weer jou eerste wedstryd wen tot nou en nie van laaste verloor nie. Die dae tussen jou laaste verloor en eerste wen kan mos nie as onoorwonne dae gesien word nie,dan is Affies ook mos nou vir 3 dae al onoorwonne??????.
@Speartackle: Dit gaan mos nie oor hoeveelheid games of teen wie jy speel nie, maar die aantal dae…en daai dag 1000 is 26 Mei 2017. Jy kan nie syfers aanpas soos dit jou pas om die dag 1000 op n gepaste dag te laat val nie…as die syfer 1000 aanbreek dan breek hy aan!…Dis mos jou teiken, jy kan nie nou die doelpale skuif nie!
@BoishaaiPa: Ja maar dit moet amptelik dan teen Paul Roos wees…..
@Vleis: Hi Bud I am counting down the days to my free beers at KES Fest from you. You may get lucky and offering free booze to a Jeppe old boy might not be a financially ruinous decision this year as I currently training for comrades so I am not in fine drinking shape as I have lessened my drinking.
SJC seemed well drilled on the weekend (the effects of excellent coaching) and I was also impressed by their conditioning. Size wise Jeppe matched them. The SJC boys seemed a bit harder. ( Although I fear badly for all our foes once the Spilhaus effect grips Jeppe rugby, mark my words the man is gunning for Affies next year)
I was not at the Saints Jeppe game as I was running Om die dam on that day… but caught about ten minutes of it on the live stream. Great initiative that is. But that tighthead from Saints looked like a man among boys. If it is indeed that they were missing starters when they pushed Jeppe to the brink of breaking. Then the battle of the cheeseboys on the 8th April may be a riveting affair.
St Albans are playing the school I will not name tomorrow. It will be interesting. I think that will be a nice indication of the strengths of both teams. That might be a good marker of were Gauteng English Boys’ rugby is laying.
I am just happy rugby season is back.
Ek dink van al die Dream Teams still Standing het Boland Landbou n baie taai week voor hulle.
Teen EG en Garsfontein….as hulle daai 2 hekkies oorkom is dit plein sailing vir hulle tot hul teen HJS speel
@Speartackle: Ai Spiesie..is dit so moeilik om te verstaan?..Dag 1000 is 26 Mei…Nie 28 Mei nie!
@BoishaaiPa: Groot onverskoning vir my statistieke fout. Dan is dit nou amptelik 28 Mei….die dag na Paul Roos.
Ek sal vir Beet vra om die alarm op die site te sit dat almal dan bewus kan wees van die presiese tyd. Paul Roos hou mos van T shirts druk so ek is seker dit sal geen probleem wees daai dag met kleredrag.
Dit is ontsettende groot oomblik in HJS geskiedenis en kultuur en ek is seker daar sal nog jare lank gespog en gesels oor Dag 1000. Dit kan ook n geweldige bemarkings indruk op alle voornemende hoërskoolkandidate wees om te kan sê ons gaan na Dag 1000 Hoër jong.
O ja en BOG het sy volle samewerking en ondersteuning gegee in die erkenning van Dag 1000
@Die Ken: Maar die syfers is in elk geval net vir ou Spies se Plesier…Ek weet hy sukkel maar met somme en as hy nou ‘n vakansiedag in die Woesrand wil reel moet hy darem die datum regkry…ek kry n gril vir foutiewe stats! Vir ons eenvoudige ondersteuners maak dit nou nie saak of dit 1 of 1000 dae is nie. Dis net die volgende een wat tel!..Ek vermoed Spies het sy oog op daai 1000 dae om sy Grey maters mee op te vryf..saam met die Vrede storie!..Ek vermoed egter hy gaan teleurgestel word voor 26 Mei aangesien daar nog berge voor HJS le soos NZ spanne, Affies, Wildeklawer, Grey en Rondebosch…heelwat piesangskille om op te gly!
@Die Ken: PR is nooit flou nie..veral nie teen Boishaai nie!
@BoishaaiPa: Dus ‘n maklike wedstryd om die 1000-dae te breek. PRG was bra flou Saterdag
Hier is die som vir jou as jy twyfel…

@Speartackle: Spiesie..ek haat die 1000 dae storie van jou, maar ek kan swak stats nog minder verdra!..Die Marlow verloor was op 30/08/2014. Dus sedert 31/08/2014 tot vandag 28/03/2017 is dit presies 941 dae gelede. Dus 59 dae tot jou magical 1000. Dit maak die datum Vry 26 Mei 2017…Die dag voor die wedstryd teen Paul Roos. Is jy nou meer happy met regte syfers?
@Smallies: Objection your Honour. Calls for speculation. And it’s a bit disrespectful as well, not like GCB at all.
Both teams played on the same field in the same rain, which stopped at 1/2 time anyway. No matter, it’s the scoreboard that matters. And the 2nd team score would seem to indicate that the depth is not lacking either.
I’ve said my piece to other members of this blog in private, I think GCB are a really good team, smaak the #15, great player. They’ll do well.
@Ringo: A bit harsh to lay the blame on the S and C person Ringo. The last S and C person, who in fact was more the defense coach of the team, departed from Jeppe in August 2016 with the replacement person only arriving at the start of term one 2017. The team have been training since October 2016 under the watchful eyes of the 1st XV coaches. The conditioning phase is surely from Sept – January every season? The S and C person has nothing to do with skills training and this is where Jeppe were overshadowed on Saturday.
@Speartackle: Is jy bang vir Ricky Louw of vir die Spur op ń Maandagaand? Daar in Toti is mos vele ander plekke en goedkoper as die Spur nou dat hulle burger special ook sy gat gesien het. Anders die bottelstoor en die strand werk net so goed…..
@Speartackle: Ekt reken jy is klaar snotters genoeg, met al jou praatjies van Dream Teams en 1000 dae.
@BuiteBreek: Jy sal my nie glo maar ek steeds vrot van die snot……..wonder of Ricky Louw nie beter gaan werk…..maar ai dit is Maandagaand en nou mag mens mos nie eers meer Spur toe gaan…….weet nie waar anders gaan ek nou moet begin snotters raak op n Maandag
@Speartackle: Miskien moet jy weer n Allergix vat. Dis meer n geval van The Snot Thickens.
@Gimoldboy: Okay dan skuif Dag 1000 na 16 Mei…..mmmmm dink dit is dalk net na die Grey Bloem game….
The Plot thickens
@Andre T: HJS het teen Marlow verloor `n week of twee daarna as ek dit nie verkeerd het nie? in die burger finaal?
@Ringo: Hello Ringo. SJC have a very good coach and are looking very promising, as I predicted, but I wouldn’t rule out a loss at Saints in two weeks. The latter pushed Jeppe very close away from home and were missing a few players who were in their cricket team that won the national T20 championships on Sunday. Also, St Alban’s may fancy their chances.
@AntonT: Gaan maak pelle met Stef de Beer, beroemde skilder en visserman van daar….ok n inkommer gewees maar sy seun het so 2 of 3 jaar terug senter vir julle gespeel. Stoute oud Affie daai hoor…..die Affiemanne sal hom as Wasbeer of Master Beer onthou
@Speartackle: Nee , ek is ‘n Treurnich en inkommer soos hulle in die deel van die wereld se. Bly nou eers twee jaar hier.
@AntonT: Is jy en Andre T familie? Ek weet sy voorvaders ook oorspronklik daar van Georg se wereld……of dalk meer Knysna bosse…..Die Terblaanse mos bekendes daar
@Carl de Kock aka Calamari:
Die Bloubulle was tragies….tragies verby
Die Stadsbulle dink ek was baie ongelukkig om te verloor….eintlik dink ek hulle was beroof. Baie lof vir Paarl Gim…..nie gedink hul gaan n wafferse span vanjaar hê as ek na hul junior dae gekyk het
Ek dink Affies het n bulspan maar het bietjie daai binnetoe aangee na die groot stormende voorspelers oordoen….dis maklik om te lees….en spanne soos Grey en HJS sal bewus wees daarvan vorentoe.
Ek kyk nie regtig meer na die Bulls nie….inteendeel kyk ek bitter min Super Rugby
Hoe goed is die Aviva Premiership ???
Sarazens sal enige SA span met 30 wen
@Ploegskaar: Ek moet bieg ek was nie self by die games nie en het my tellings van saschoolsport gekry. Nou weet ek om nie weer daar te loer nie. Sorry. Ek sal by die skool hoor of die ouens nie die uitslae wil twitter nie. Dit sal ons almal rooi wange spaar.
Ek is hierdie naweek wel by outeniqua se velde en sal kort kort tellings deurgee. Ek sal graag wil sien hoe lyk die menlo se 0/14 en dis jammer oakdale sin is nie hier nie. Klink of dit die twee skole se jong spanne is waar daar ‘n oog oor gehou moet word.
@Andre T: Julle opinie van die bloubulle en bulle se spel saterdag?
@Carl de Kock aka Calamari: Nou praat jy mos sense
Just confirmed from a Boishaaier that the last loss was on 2 August 2014 to Paar Gim, 16-15
So to avoid any confusion the Official Day 1000 is then 2 May 2017…the day after Wildeklawer
@Andre T: Kyk as n gesoute skolerugby ondersteuner teen die tyd nog nie weet dat Monnas die Witbulle is en Affies net die Bulle is nie…dan weet ek nie…..
@Carl de Kock aka Calamari: moet jou nie te veel stuur aan die ooskus smous nie (@spiesie). Hy is so hoog op die “mos” dat hy enigiets of iemand sal aanvat. Sy “scars” is teken dat hy nie die verskil tussen ‘n leeu se bal en ‘n afgeskilde eier ken nie. Kom by spiesie, ondersteun bietjie jou span man.
@Carl de Kock aka Calamari: Vra jou oom Sakkie De Cock dan
Het geirriteerd geraak met daai Derek Alberts wat aanhoudend Saterdag na Affies as die Witbulle verwys het, wens hul wil kommentators aanwys wat iets van skolerugby weet
Ek kan net tot by 34 tel, want dit is hoe oud ek is
@Carl de Kock aka Calamari: Oom Kallie, help nou bietjie ons domkoppe
@Andre T: Andre, gedog die bulle van Krugersdorp is wafferse syferkoppe?
@CharlesZA: Help n bietjie asb om daai datum te bepaal….dit raak nou n senutergende storie
Die Woesrand en Die Natal Suidkus is bereid om Dag 1000 n openbare vakansiedag in die Paarl te verklaar…..ek wag nog net om by BOG te hoor of Bloem dit ook sal erken
@Speartackle: Dog beet gaan vir ons n counter laai op die site.
Dink BH het teen Marlow of iemand van Oos kaap laaste game verloor.
@Speartackle: Spies, jou opinie oor die BlouBulle en die Witbulle van laas Saterdag….?
Ek verneem Boishaai het selfs n paar toutrek medaljes ook ingepalm..altyd gewonder oor die aanbied van die sport…ek vermoed dit is n slinkste plan om nie te virengels nie….
@Carl de Kock aka Calamari: Wanneer was die laaste verloor…..dis van kardinale belang om Dag 1000 te bepaal……dit kan dalk n Nasionale Vakansiedag in die Paarl word
@Andre T: Maak net seker oor daai laaste verloordatum …dit kan dalk n dag vroeer of later gewees het…dis baie belangrik om Dag 1000 te bepaal asb
Geen tel van dae of thempies druk ens nie….
Ons manne speel vir die genot van die spel, vat een wedstryd op n slag met hoefdoel…eerste naweek in Augustus….enige skoolkind se droom..
Die dag net na Wildeklawer
@Carl de Kock aka Calamari: Moenie bols praat
Daai rekord word diep bespreek in die Pride and Passion gange
As ek dit reg het was die laaste verloor 4 Aug 2014 teen Paarl Gim
Tot op hede is dit dan 965 dae onoorwonne….Nog 35 om te gaan
So met ander woorde 2 Mei is die groot Dag 1 000
@Speartackle: ‘Spies’, ons steur ons nie veel aan rekords nie, daar is net daardie een belangrike wedstrydjie elke jaar, as ek reg kan onthou, hier erens vroeg in die 3de kwartaal…..
@Carl de Kock aka Calamari: Goeiste ou Callie….is jy op Tequila? Sê jy sommer vir ons wanneer Dag 1000 aanbreek……wanneer laas het HJS 0/19A verloor dan doen ek sommer die sommetjies
Baie geluk HJS met jul oorwinning teen Sacred Hearts
Daai 1 000 dae poging nog mooi op track
Kan Beet dalk vir ons net die presiese Dag 1000 deurgee asb?
‘Spies’, ek dink nie daar bestaan meer sulke spanne in vandag se tye nie…..die dae dat spanne totaal en al oorheers, is beslis iets van die verlede.
@Carl de Kock aka Calamari: Ek praat van Dream Teams…..d.w.s spanne wat deur die jare en seisoene deur hul ondersteuners en ouers opgehemel was as onstuitbaar, onoorwinbaar en ongelooflik…..enige iets wat “on” iets is bv jy kan dalk nog …..”on’dergang ook byvoeg
@Carl de Kock aka Calamari:
Ek kan onthou dat hierdie Paarl Gim span in die ouderdomsgroepe groot tellings teen hulle gekry het op Wildeklawer en Interskole
Kom ons kyk hoe vaar hulle en dan sal dit n baie besliste teken wees dat onder ouderdomme geen aanduiding vir 0/17 – 0/18 doeleindes…….
For the record
Menlo u/14 has scored 241 points in 4 games……38 tries
Beat EG Jansen u/14A 85 – 0 in QF of Tuks
Thats impressive
Paarl Gim kan ook nog onoorwonne die seisoen deurgaan..
For the record
Menlopark u/14 A ….the new Dream Team for the next 5 years….taking over from the Helpmekaar u/14 team of 2013
Out goes Affies to the Plate division
Only 3 more Dream Teams standing
Grey Bloem, Paarl Boishaai and Boland Landbou
@Couchmavin: Volgens Boland se o16a coach was die telling 13-10 vir Boland
@Ploegskaar: Verstaan ek korrek,het BL O/16 vir Outeniqua 13-10 gewen? Is AntonT se telling van BL 15-27 Outeniqua by die O/16 spanne verkeerd??
@Riempies: Can’t agree with you more.
Ons sal maar ‘n koelboks moet goed laai…….Ek glo nie ek gaan van dag een af daar wees nie, maar ek dink ek sal moontlik Saterdag tot Maandag daar wees. Verblyf is duur en ‘tyd’ moet mooi gebruik word.
Wat die game betref, julle behoort maklik te wen ……
@Oakdale supporter: Ek reken ‘n kombinasie van albei. Oakdale se 1stes kan trots voel by the way, Franse was groot en speel duidelik al ‘n tyd saam, maar die Bulle het hul man gestaan
@Ploegskaar: Dis wat ek probeer uitvind. Is dit ‘n swak inname by hulle of ‘n goeie by Oakdale. Ek skat teen volgende Woensdag sal ons beter weet.
@Riempies: Is the game on Wednesday… I saw on their fixture list the game was scheduled for Tuesday. Maybe Wednesday then it will be an interesting matchup. It should be an interesting game. But I fear that Helpmekaar will be heavy favourites as moral and confidence will be low after losing to a private school. But may be we bounce back with a big scalp.
@Oakdale supporter: Dit is nou wat mens noem ‘n swak gr8 inname!
@Valkie: Ek hoor wat jy se maar op hierdie stadium is dit pynlik om te aanskou.
Ek sien amper meer uit na daardie koue bier van ons
@Riempies: Dink so daaraan: By die tyd wat julle teen ons speel te St Johns is julle reeds drie addisionele games verder…..
Ek sien uit na daardie wedstryd.
@Ploegskaar: Ploeg, jy sal my seker die beste kan sê oor Belville se sterkte, Oakdale se ouderdoms spanne het Saterdag by Brakkies se dag teen hulle gespeel. Die o/15 en o/16 spanne se tellings is min of meer soos ek sou verwag, maar ek weet glad nie wat om van die onder 14 telling te maak. As die ander kompeterent was so mens mos dieselfde van die o/14 span verwag.
Soos ek die tellings het:
o/16 17-0
o/15 33-15
o/14 102-0
@AntonT: o16a was 13-10 vir Landbou. o15a 14-31 vir Outeniqua, o14a 7-21 vir Outeniqua. Kwaggas o15a is ‘n bulspan
@Skywalker: NW won 2 rugby games ( the U16A 26-12 and the U15A 12-3). The 1st team hockey result was a bit one sided with Westville winning 5-1. NW did pick up the 2nds 1-0 and the U14A with a similar score.
@Ringo: It would be interesting to see how they go against Helpies on Wednesday. The Helpie motor have not fired on all cylinders yet. This is mostly due to not enough training together as a team.
I hope that we are in for some good rugby on Wednesday.
I watched SJC v Jeppe on the weekend not as fan by an impartial observer and very close to the action. Must say from the onset and again I stress that from a physical specimen perspective the SJC team looked menacing. I again lament the conditioning of our boys (Jeppe that is)…… I really think that we are solely missing the services of the strength and conditioning chap who moved to the UK. I think his replacement has not gotten into his stride and hence the boys are still a little soft. I love the expensive game and noticed that the whole school is playing one brand which bodes well for the future. There were moments were the tide seemed to swing Jeppe’s way and in fact we were 15 – 14 up with about 15 minutes left and had one more pass been made a simple jog in try would have been scored.
So I personally do not understand how one can deduce that the scoreline flatters one specific side.
SJC are full value for their win and it will be interesting to see how they go in the rest of their season.
They have already beaten Jeppe and Parktown ( other than their close neighbours the school I will not name who from the murmurs of their legions of followers are frighteningly good this year) I do not see any of the other English Joburg Boys’ schools getting close to SJC this year.
That UCT coach is a genius I must say.
But I like the direction that Jeppe rugby is going in and still quietly optimistic about the surprising a few people this season.
Although I fear tomorrows game against Helpmekaar might be a blood bath.
The season is going to be interesting none the less.
@jakes:
Hugenote springs en Kempton park ook baie verswak, toe ek in die middel 80,s in Brakpan skool gegaan het was die groot kanonne daar in die oosrand Hugenote EG Kempton En Hans Moore Brandwag
@Playa The scoreline flattered Jeppe I am afraid. I don’t think that they have the skills to play the type of game Spillhaus would like. KES (13% a Parktown side) seem strong to do that to PBHS. Parktown are strong too this year, so it should make for an interesting season.
@BoishaaiPa: Baie geluk aan die manne van Boishaai.
Paarl Boys 24 – 8 Sacred Heart (Auckland NZ)
@Umtata: Rat out the hat pulled by SJC over Jeppe.Will make the Jhb English medium round robins very interesting.KES vs SJC is a mouthwatering prospect.
Wonder wat fout gegaan het met Jeugland van Kempton Park? Een van die sterkste atletiek skole in land en baie sterk rugby skool in die 90’s en tot vroee 2000’s en getalle van 1700+ leerlinge gehad in gedurende die tyd. Hulle was Kempton Park en EG Jansen se grootste teenstander gedurende die tye.. Nou verloor hulle 50-0 teen Hugenote(Springs) en groot slae gekry teen EG Jansen laaste paar jaar. Sport het baie vinnig agteruit gegaan by Jeugland. Wonder wat het met die skool gebeur?
Op hierdie vroee staduim van die seisien lyk dit of die top vyf GCB, Boishaai, Gim, Affies en ………. Boland Landbou, yip Boland het nog altyd goeie en sterk voorspelers gehad, maar hierdie jaar het hulle ook die agterlyn baie giftig is, met n sterk bench! Die res van ons dink ek speel vir res van top tien plekke, my geliefde PRG, Monnas, Garsies, Helpies, Jansies, etc na die vlg maand of 2 sal ons wel n goeie idee he.
Op o16 vlak reken ek PRG sal moeilik geklop word, die spannetjie was ook onoorwonne laas jaar, ons hou maar duime vas en ondersteun die seuns!
@AntonT: Anton ! Ek was ongelukkig nie self by die wedstryd nie weens n troue. Ek het egter gehoor by n paar manne dat die telling vir die Kwaggas n klein bietjie vly en dat Brakkies baie kompeterend was.Kwaggas het egter die sege verdien volgens my bronne. Hoe het jy die wedstryd gesien ?
Outeniqua (kwaggas)se uitslae: Eerstes 27 – 15 Brackenfell 0/14. 21 – 07 Boland landbou. 0/15. 40 – 14 Boland landbou 0/16. 27 – 15 Boland landbou. Ek dink nogsteeds on eerste span gaan sukkel in die groot games, maar sover het hulle my verras. Ons onder ouderdom spanne gaan moeilik geklop word veral in George. Die 0/15 was verlede jaar onoorwonne en ek dink hulle het hierdie jaar ook n goeie kans.
@Smallies: Thanks Smallies and the results from the debating teams????
Good results there for GCB, what a lovely few days of activities between the two schools. College hockey I see is strong. BOG and Spear will be happy with those tennis results.

@Smallies: Thanks Smallies. It’s really about how the 1st team performs. The rest doesn’t really matter??????.Would be interesting if you could see the total tries for and against.
How were the rest of the activities? Tennis and Hockey?
@Bush:
If one looks at over all results it did not go well for MC 23 games played Grey won 21 drew 1 and lost 1, first team game were played in pouring rain so that is why the score was relatively low
@Bush: Sorry Eish wrong Clifton. Too many Cappies?????
@Speartackle: Lekker Spear. I see GCB didn’t massacre College as you predicted. Hope you tennis elbow is getting some RICE(Richelieu and Ice)
@Vleis: Thanks Vleis. Had been following the games on FB. House weren’t great. Well done HC and Clifton. Great that KZN finished 1 and 2
The St Andrews’s result is incorrect. SAC beat HP by 31 to 7.
Hilton have just won the Rugby School 450th anniversary international 7s tournament by beating Clifton School by 22 to 7 in the final. House came 7th. The 12 schools that participated were from: England x 3; Wales x 1; NZ x 1; SA x 2; Canada x 1, Japan x 1, N Ireland x 1; Scotland x 1 and Australia x 1.
I believe that Bennies lost at home to Parktown by 36 to 17 and St Andrew’s College beat Hudson Park by 7 to 0 at the Graeme Fest.
St Alban’s beat Sutherland at Sutherland by 58 to 0.
I’m sure the westville northwood game was another hiding for NW…but any scores for the age group teams and the hockey for that matter?
Kingswood 12 Pearson 7
PRG 32 Drostdy 19
SJC 23 Jeppe 15
KES 31 PTA boys 0
Dale 21 Brandwag(EC) 21
Queen’s 3 Framesby 6
Marlow 11 Grey High 11
EG Jansen 47 Kempton park 13
Anyone with the St Johns/Jeppe kick-off time tomorrow?
@beet: Thumbs up!
@sewes: I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere.
I will check and post if I come across it again.
@Greenman: Follow SSL (schoolsportlive) on youtube and you’re receive automatic reminders and sign on for Fanstream who also send alerts. I’m not sure who else covers stream. I’ve heard David vd Sandt will be doing the KES Fest this year but I’m not sure if he does anything else SBR wise
Thanks Beet! So who knows what, when and where there is coverage live streaming or TV?
@beet: Beet please add Hoeskool General Hertzog vs Vereeniging Gim in Vereeniging on Saturday.
@beet:Is daar inligting oor AHS se o\15 week beskikbaar.
With everything else going on this weekend Pretoria BH vs KES sort of been under the radar
It is not often that you find so many big games across the country on one day.
From Brackenfell vs Outiniqua to Tuks series and a couple of good strenght vs strenght match-ups in StJohns vs Jeppe.
Will be interesting to see how the first of Affies and Paarl Gim derby go down. After it was decided for a smaller group to go down and silence the Rom-rom-rom.
Good to Oos Moot vs Wonderboom again. Hope the sport will be the winner in the day and not the tempers
Good luck to all officials for the weekend, it can be expected when its these close yet tougher games, that the ref get thrown under bus or linesman the bumper of the bus
@beet: Thanks for adding some of the fixtures Beet, appreciate seeing the hard work.
@Greenman: There are some like the Affies-Helpies game that I don’t even know about
@ThatKid: To be honest I didn’t even know it was on.
Beet, waarom is daar geen teken van die AHS Kroonstad rugby dag op hierdie lysie nie?
@scrummie: Dit klink baie soos Ben Vorster en Merensky, wat in 2010 laas ‘n sportdag teen mekaar gehad het, maar dit ook hierdie jaar hervat. Sterkte vir albei skole.
Beet, Is dit moontlik om al die stream games en TV games hier te publish?
@ oppimoot : Dankie
. Sien uit na n lekker daf van sport. Self houe gevat teen die Vossies. Sien saterdag 
@Speartackle: Daar is nog baie ‘dream teams’……hulle droom om soos die 4 spanne te wees….
Skies….moes dit eerder hier post
Slegs 4 Dream Teams nog staande na Week 2 van 2017 SBR
HJS Paarl
Grey Bloem
Affies
Boland Landbou
Ons hou die wedloop na louere fyn dop
@Scrummie: Julle is welkom daar by ons. Sien uit na ‘n baie lekker dag se sport.Ons het houe gevat by Ben Vorster verlede week en sal hard moet werk om gereed te wees Saterdag.
What is Maritzburg College looking like this year will the give Grey a tough test or not?
RnR : by Oos-Moot
. Seuns is reg vir mekaar soos ek hoor veral nog omdat 2 skole so lank trg teen mekaar gejol het, jy weet seker self hoe gaan dit met sulke tipe derbys.
Dit kan ja. Iets om na te kyk vanaf volgende jr. Sterkte met jul game, sien later die seisoen
@scrummie: Dit gaan n groot dag wees in die Moot, waar word dit aangebied? Hierdie kan maklik geklassifiseer word as n Classic Clash volgens my.
Groot wedstryd in die Moot :
Wonderboom vs Oos-Moot
As ek reg is is dit eerste keer sedert 2009 wat die 2 skole voldag bepaling het
Some brilliant games in Tuks quarter finals for top 8. EG Jansen/ Kempton park neighbours and biggest competition in Falcons region. Menlopark/Garsfontein two Pretoria schools going to be exciting. HTS Middelburg/Monument going to be hard. Eldoraigne/ Nelspruit another tough one. No one can afford an ‘off’ day otherwise the underdogs will surprise. EG Jansen/Monument/ Garsfontein/Eldoraigne seems to be favourites
Brackenfell Outeniqua and Milnerton Bellville the 2 headline games at Brackenfell day on Saturday.
