@Skywalker: Hi. I think it could turn out to be an interesting local season and it might be premature to predict where the teams will finish up in the end. If the teams are closely matched, it may spell trouble for their national ranking ambitions.
It is hard to say where Northwood will fit in but them aside I think there will be two groups :
1/ College, Glenwood, Hilton, Westville playing for top spot
2/ DHS, Kearsney, Michaelhouse, St Charles maybe aiming for 5th but lets see.
@beet what are your thoughts about the KZN 1st teams in general this year?
@Chalkdust: Those should be two really good match-ups. Its a great pity that the matches could not form part of a proper interschools Saturday but circumstances are understandable. In the old days 3rd term rugby ensured that opportunities like this were not missed.
@star: Probably rolling subs. Only the u16A’s and 1st team will be playing.
@Chalkdust: Thanks. I suppose it will be a similar format with rolling subs ect. Will there be any other matches U16s ?
@star: The Westville vs Hilton warm up match is scheduled for Saturday, 7 March at Hilton
What is stopping either school driving up or down the highway on the said Friday afternoon to have a couple of chukkas?
Pity that Westville and Hilton are not there as they are not playing a regular fixture and it would have been nice to see them square off in this format at least.
