@Klofie Pa: Its based on beet’s “dream schedule”not the real one.
@Ploegskaar: Oh well, its what I think would happen.I could be wrong.
@Playa: Actually thought you had theBL/GW one and the last 2 right, but have my doubts about the rest.
@Playa:
some of the games are totally wrong playa. or is this just n prediction on some of the games that should have been??
@Ploegskaar: Hahahaha!I know you’re referring to the Boland-Glenwood game.Did that on purpose just to get your attention.
@Playa: Don’t know if you were watching the 2012 season in a parallel universe, but based on 2012 form you may have gotten a few of your predictions horribly wrong. Please try again.
@beet: Mouthwatering!
My predictions (based solely on 2012 form) would be:
07h50 EG Jansen vs Noord-Kaap NK win
09h00 Glenwood vs Boland Landbou Glenwood win
10h10 HTS Drostdy vs Monnas Drotsdy win
10h10 (B-field) Sharks vs Wildeklawer No sure
11h20 Oakdale vs Grey High Grey win
11h20 (B-field) Diamantveld vs Framesby Framesby win
12h30 Affies vs Paarl BH PBHS win
13h40 Paarl Gim vs Grey College Grey win
14h50 Maritzburg College vs Paul Roos PR win
16h00 Outeniqua vs Waterkloof Outeniqua win
@NW_Knight: The whole idea of Wildeklawer Superschools is just that ..”SCHOOLS” rugby..not provincial teams or Invitational teams…There is much more in a game playing another school with traditions etc..what motivation is there in playing some anonymous group of players?..It’s not about being arrogant, it is about playing someone with an identidy!
Here is the ultimate Matchday 1 schedule :smile:
07h50 EG Jansen vs Noord-Kaap
09h00 Glenwood vs Boland Landbou
10h10 HTS Drostdy vs Monnas
10h10 (B-field) Sharks vs Wildeklawer
11h20 Oakdale vs Grey High
11h20 (B-field) Diamantveld vs Framesby
12h30 Affies vs Paarl BH
13h40 Paarl Gim vs Grey College
14h50 Maritzburg College vs Paul Roos
16h00 Outeniqua vs Waterkloof
@BoishaaiPa: Humble apologies, for some reason I thought Affies were the no.1 side in 2012….
@Beet: Don’t go starting rumors. Wouldn’t want BoishaaiPa to start getting worried.
@Klofie Pa: I believe have gotten even stronger as well. A new top notch hooker added to the mix.
tell you what beet, that george outfit has the potetial to klap every big wig in this country!!
this is the team that won both us and affies u/14 in george and we always hoped to play them again before end of school.
so its gonna happen and what a cracker its will be!!!!
@beet: Sorry also Klofies vs Gim is there.
@Klofie Pa: I must say I believed there was going to be a Grey Bloem vs either Klofies or Gimmies game for sure.
@All Black: Gimmies do not have a regular fixture against Grey Bloem. Likewise PBH/Gim do not play Affies/Monnas/Klofies in inter-schools fixtures. PRG also does not play Monnas/Klofies outside of festivals. There is hope for a PBH vs Klofies game at St Johns. Otherwise I don’t know why they changed the originally set Gimmies vs Grey Bloem game. Now we have Affies and Boishaai on the B-field. Boishaai and Gimmies playing Invitational teams that were meant to be made up of KZN players. Only problem is KZN schools not at WK have fixtures on the 4 May and will not release players.
The powerhouse games are PRG vs Affies and Monnas vs GCB. I think those responsible for putting the fixture list together could have done better. But I did say that it will still be a good tournament.
I believe that behind the scenes the organisers also had some differences about matchups. College don’t set the fixtures.
wonder who this clown is setting up the fixtures??
2 very hard game on the cards for us and the other big dogs getting much easier games on day 1!!!!
and forgive me if i step on any toes with this statement but come on!!!!!
maar ons sal hom vat soos hy kom. nog nooit teruggestaan vir n bietjie kompetisie nie!!
lekker man lekker!
@NW_Knight: Does this mean that Northwood have been pursued to postpone their George Campbell game on the 04 May and contribute towards the Sharks and Invitation XVs?
Otherwise it’s looking like these teams will have to be made up of College and Glenwood 2nd XV players.
It would not have hurt to invite HTS Middelburg back. I still can’t believe they got dropped in the first place.
@beet: “Hevent gone all out to deliver the ultimate package”. What would you have done differently?
@BoishaaiPa: Now that’s putting it out there. Now you just have to hope that PBH don’t get beaten by the Invitation side on the B field on opening day :grin:
@Boishaaipa, so will Glenwood. Fresh faced with only 2 back from 2012….
Thw problem next year is that Boishaai will have a brand new team…only 2 regular 2012 starters left over from 2012 and they might not even play in same positions…new year..new team…always exciting
@Ploegskaar: Ploeg?..what have you been smoking?
..where did I mention PRH an inv side?
I am talking abou the Sharks team we are playing
it seems Glenwood will be playing the big 3 Paarl/Stellenbosch schools in 2013 and far too many fixtures in total (22), especially against the top 20. They are making it harder every year;
1 Kearsney A 2013/03/16
2 TBC Pukke 2013/03/20
3 TBC Pukke 2013/03/23

@Ploegskaar, yep our Under15A’s lost 8-18 to BL down in Paarl, so quite close there. Our Under16’s were average this year so as you say two unknown quantities which makes it exciting…
@Grasshopper: And therein lies the problem, the BL game plan has not changed in 50 years and makes them predictable and very ineffective in years that their packs are not the biggest. Think they only played GW at u/15 level this year and did well, but otherwise 2 unknown quantities matching up, which is what makes these festivals so exciting.
@Ploegskaar, yep looking forward to the Landbou game. I think the last time the schools played Glenwood won 29-10, BUT that was with big forwards. I think our weakness will once again be our locks. Scrums should be fine with a short front-row scrumming low. Let’s just say I think our game plan will have to move away from trying to run over opposition and try to run around them or into gaps. Should be more exciting though even if they lose..
@Grasshopper: Well, heavy forwards vs fast backs should make the GW/BL game a interesting one then, although a simple kick and chase game may just easily do the trick for GW. Good opportunity for the Farmers to compete with the best in KZN none the less.
@Boishaaipa, Glenwood will do well to be 3rd or 4th in KZN next year with much expected from Kearsney and Westville. The Glenwood side is an uncertainty with many guys never having played 1st side previously. All I do know is the forwards will be smaller than usual and the backs quicker than usual. One of the kids running the 100 in 10.6! Our last encounter ended with a 1 or 2 point win for Boishaai so it should be another good one…
@beet: They should always be able to at least hold their own up front, but it’s what happens at the back which determines the success of a BL season. 100% behind them as always though, and with all their regular WC fixtures it certainly makes for a hell of a year.
@Ploegskaar: If you look at rankings for 4 years combined: BolandL 17th, Glenwood 10th, Noord-Kaap 8th.
Those are good matchups. Suggests that even if a below avg year, BL will bring it.
@BoishaaiPa: I would certainly not call Paul Roos an invitational side, your tjom PRP will moer you!
GCB and Kersney @ KERF and Glenwood and Noord-Kaap @ WK. Depth, or lack thereof, will definitely be tested against some of the top schools in the country, but also just reward for a solid 2012 season. Best of luck to the Landbou boys, they will need it.
@All Black: Which one?
@beet: At least we will be playing the No 1 rugby school in KZN on Saturday..or so I hear!…
@beet: Big statement that.
@BoishaaiPa: Monnas will do extremely well to beat Drostdy. There minds will be on Saturday’s biggie against Grey College.
@BoishaaiPa: Yes Affies as well.
I’m so happy it’s in KZN and that many of the best teams will be there but some of these matchups could have been way better. I for one have come to expect big things from WK and I think they haven’t gone all out to deliver the ultimate package for 2013.
Will still be an excellent tournament tho.
Thursday 10h10 you are going to see a very bruising encounter!..Monnas are going to get a small taste of what we have to suffer every season..Those Drosdtdy Donkies are HARD and TOUGH!..
I repeat..I see that the 2012 No 1 ranked school is getting a real snub at Wildeklawer playing an invitational side on the B-Field on the opening day!..
