Tony Stoops goes to great lengths every year to give something back to the Western Cape school rugby community. He does it in the form of a meaningful school rugby festival. The 6th annual Tony Stoops Rugby Festival will again be the largest 1st XV rugby festival in South Africa. 33 schools, many of which would otherwise not have had the opportunity to take part in a festival, will compete at Tygerberg High in the Cape. Together with the hard work and time that goes into putting a huge festival of this nature together, comes the financial requirement. Here Tony is blessed to have African Bank and a few other generous sponsors on board to assist him with covering the costs of this worthwhile initiative.

Well done to Tony Stoops. A legend in school boy rugby and a true student of this wonderful sport ! Not many people in the Western Cape who know the schools and players so well. The schools presented at the tournament get the exposure they normally will not get . I really hope that some WP Craven Week selectors will do the effort to attend . How many great talent at these schools disappear without anyone knowing about them !
