Western Province Craven Week teams 2010-2018

3 January, 2019 beet Squads, W/Cape 1

I took a chance and picked my WP Craven Week team of the decade so far. With so many good players at their disposal every season, there are probably tens of different selection combinations that would translate to a  quality 23-player squad.

    For those who wonders why Boishaai are often called the country,s prop factory, just the following stats. Since 2009, and up up till 2018, (i.e. the last 10 years), at least one Boishaai prop have been included in the WP Cravenweek side. Two of these (Frans Malherbe and Thomas Du Toit), are current Springboks. Others are playing senior Currie Cup rugby.

    2009 – Frans Malherbe
    2010 – Maks van Dyk
    2011 – Jacobus van der Merwe
    2012 – Liam Hendricks and Wesley Adonis
    2013 – Thomas Du Toit and Francois van der Merwe
    2014 – Wikus Groenewald
    2015 – Wikus Groenewald and Leo-Roubert Kruger
    2016 – Adam Neethling and Reece Bezuidenhout
    2017 – Joshua Du Preez
    2018 – Roubert Bester

    Do you agree that this is not bad stats for one school?
