The last time Affies were in Bloemfontein in 2017, they won an astounding 61% of their rugby matches against Grey College. It’s an incredible feat considering that fellow national rugby powerhouse Paul Roos left the Free State with 0% at the end of the 2018 rugby season and this past weekend HJS Paarl Boys’ High achieved a little over 31%.
After a promising start to the 2019 season, things have gone pear-shaped for the Affies 1st XV. In terms of records, the Pretoria Witbulle have conceded a school record number of points to both Paarl Gim (46) and Paarl Boishaai (39) en route to two heavy defeats. They also lost to KES and Westville for the first time ever in their school’s history, leaking over 30 points in each of those two losses. It effectively means that what looks like a decent Affies team when they play to their true potential, have now uncharacteristically only won two of their last seven matches.
Life promises to get even harder at Jock Meiring Straat against a Grey team that has proven to be ruthless against even the defences of their top ranked national opponents. From 11 starts in 2019 Grey has scored 580 points at an average of over 50 per game (conceding ±17 points per match in the process).

Grey took their foot off the pedal. Big difference between Grey’s 1-15 and 16-23.
But a great win. Affies never gave up.
Geluk GCB 50-28
@OudAffie: Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I genuinely hope that Affies do well against them this weekend & silence all the critics.

AHS wen die dag 8 keer.
Grey wen die dag 16 keer.
Gelykop op die dag 2 keer.
Totale Wedstryde gespeel: 674
Totale Wedstryde AHS: 277
Totale Wedstryde Grey: 370
Totale Wedstryde Gelykop: 27
Gem Wedstryde per Interskole: 11(AHS) – 14(Grey) – 1(Gelykop)
My voorspelling dus vir die naweek is dat AHS 11 wedstryde gaan wen en Grey 14 met 1 gelykop uitslag.
Die Witbulle gaan Saterdag karakter soos min moet wys as hulle ‘n loesing wil afweer!
@Wodnerbaar, Grey het eenvoudig VERANDER vanaf ‘n skool na ‘n proffesionele rugby akademie toe. Huidiglik is daar net eenvoudig geen “Skool” in die republiek wat kan kers vashou met hulle nie. Hulle is eenvoudig net te goed vir almal en moet dalk die “Cheethas” se plek in die Pro14 oorneem.
Maar alle grappies op ‘n stokkie, net respek en bewondering vir Grey Kollege. Sal my speeldae teen hulle NOOIT vergeet of verruil nie. Kan darem noem dat ek in ‘n span betrokke was wat Grey geklop het.
@OudAffie: Wanneer jy na die 2019 Grey 1ste span kyk, lyk dit sommer veral voorspelers soos n profesionele span miskien agter 1 of 2 spelers wat nie na skool ( in hierdie posisie sal kan voortgaan nie) Grey was nog altyd 1 2 3 in SA en het nou nigbn step up gemaak met hul nuwe euro betrokkenheid . Ggim en hjs 2 en 3 die jaar ???? Kyk die verskil van grey na hulle, weldone Grey julle rugbyakademie werk.

Ek is bevrees die wonderlike trant van groot tellings sedert 2012 heel moontlik verby mag wees, dit gaan geweldig baie moeilik wees hierdie naweek vir die Witbulle in Bloem. Dit bly egter ‘n baie spesiale interskole hierdie! Mag dit net van krag tot krag gaan!
@Ricardo12Volkies2012: Dit klink reg
@Wondermaar:
Soos op die ander posts genoem, dalk Virseker Beker weer te speel! Met die nuwe formaat sal dit dalk meer van ‘n uitdaging wees…
Ek weet so 20% van affies en dink en hoop dat daar n paar oopkop breine is, wat nie van die instansie n rugbyakademie gaan maak nie wat slim genoeg gaan wees om die nadele daarin te sien en rugby te speel vir wat skolerugby is, al beteken dit NET n rugbyspelende skool.
@Wondermaar:
In ‘n ideale wêreld, neh? Maar soos ek sê, hulle jonger spanne doen ook nie goed nie.
Ek dink nie hulle is lus vir ‘n “building phase” nie, die tyd wat dit gaan neem sal nie gemaklik sit met die skool se tradisie van resultate nie (my opinie as bytestander, ek was nie in die skool en weet nie veel van hulle strukture nie).
@Ricardo12Volkies2012: Ek dink affies moet net wegbly van die nuwe profesionele ( meer geld bestee) benadering en bou op sy eie TROTS en TRADISIE , daar is soveel meer as om kinders vroeg vrot te druk om profesionele rugbyspelers te wees. Die profesionele benadering van skole sal net soos saru se junior strukture ook homself in die kiem smoor oor paar jaar van nou af, want daar is geen rede dat dit volhoubaar gaan wees nie.
@4×4:
Unfortunately…
Looking at some of the lower age group levels, it doesn’t seem that things will be getting any better in future…
Somebody will have to spend some money in the off season…
I think Affies GCB reminds me of the Boks playing NZ at the moment. NZ enters most matches as favorites but every now and then the Boks rise to the occasion and steal a win – that is why GCB supporters always have an uneasy feeling when playing Affies.
@Smallies: Affies met 3 in doodsnikke van wedstryd.(positiewe denke)???
moenie die fout maak om n gewonde affies te onderskat nie..,
@Ricardo12Volkies2012: When losing becomes a habit..?
Don’t think that Affies has it in them to turn their season around, however a win against Grey would almost make all other results overlooked. Grey to win by 35+
