@Rainier: Dankie, ek het nie die games gekyk nie, maar ek waardeer logika!
@tzavosky: Die span van Kroonstad se truie was blou met geel “trim”.
Dis duidelik die rooi skool…
@AbsolutMenlo: Ja, ek waardeer DigiTv deesdae – was verlede naweek in Pretoria en kon heerlik BV se tuiswedstryde teen PHS kyk.
Geluk aan Menlo, soos @Vyfster voorspel het, julle junior spanne was gans te sterk vir BV. Wat die 1stes betref het BV se gewoonlike MVP teen rustyd awol geraak – toe hy agter die wolke verdwyn, dit vinnig afkoel en begin reën, was die skrif aan die muur vir BV! Nogtans ‘n goeie terugvegpoging van Menlo om hom in die doodsnikke deur te trek.
@Beet: There seems to be confusion about which Kroonstad team St Albans played yersterday – you have AHS Kroonstad (Rooiskool), while two other sites I’ve checked have it as HS Kroonstad (Blouskool) with ScoolofRugby (normally very reliable) even have a match report about Blouskool. Can you please clarify.
And while some Eastern Cape surprise results having been mentioned, no one said a word about Daniel Pienaar losing to Graaff-Reinet Volkies.
Ons het Norries 13-8 gewen. Tweedes het ook ‘n lekker wen gehad. Die res moes maar die knie buig teen Noordheuwel.
Dankie vir DigiTv wat dit moontlik gemaak het dat al die aksie by Ben Vorster steeds gevolg kon word!
Geluk aan MenloRugby met ‘n “clean sweep” weg van die huis!
Ander wedstryde wat ek gevolg het: Outeniqua was puik en Monnas ongelukkig om nie te wen nie.
@AntonT: Julle manne het ‘n lekker warm span die jaar! Ek dink julle gaan baie goed doen!
@Gatskop: I watched the match on SSL when it was live. Neither tackle was malicious. My feeling on the Monnas tackle on Visser was he may have jumped just before the tackle which aggravated the circumstances and therefore possibly not a penalty. The Monnas one to me was definitely a penalty but probably no further sanction.
With regards to the binning of the Monnas player for backchat, it depends on what was said. I think it was last year when a ref at the Grey PE festival issued red for disrespecting him. A schoolboy should engage with the referee in a respectful manner or face the consequences.
@Beet: Ja watch the Bois vs Monnas games for 2 dangerous tackels. 1 from each team. The ref was realy bad, but he was totaly ok with the tackels. What he didnt like was a fantom punch and a few harmless words that he give a yellow card for.
@Gatskop: I was at the Westville vs DHS match today and there was an incident in the first half where the Westville wing lifted his DHS opponent through the 90 deg axis and from a height planted him on his back right in front of the ref and after the whistle. I thought the two things combined – dangerous illegal tackle and late would make it a consideration for a red card. The ref did not even award a penalty to DHS.
Credit to the DHS player who did not feign injury.
@Grizzly: Verlede week teen Brandwag die selfde. Daar word beslis van die spelers afgehaal. Veral in die agterlyn. As een van ons vleuls seerkry is daar nie sommer iemand wat hulle kan vervang nie. Maar ek dink ook ‘n paar goed word nog probeer en Waterkloof het beter begin speel.
Die manier wat die Kwaggas speel kan ook nie vir 70 minute volgehou word nie. Hulle sal moet werk aan hoe hulle die tempo van die wedstryd manipuleer. Meer speel vir gebiedsvoordeel en op sekere tye die tempo verhoog. Die is nie 7s nie.
@AntonT: Ja ek stem saam. Ek dink die afrigter moet nog n paar kombinasies uitsorteer.
Kwaggas was vuurwarm eerste helfte en tweede helfte het die voorspelers dit so bietjie verloor. Geen agterlyn kan sonder die bal speel nie
@AntonT: Ek sien die 2 de helfte was telling 8-7 vir Kwaggas.Wat gebeur,Kloof better begin speel of het julle bench op gebring?Geluk met die uitslag,julle was laasjaar bitter ongelukkig met n paar groot games wat julle met minder as 7 punte verloor het.Bly julle het n goeie span die jaar.
@Grizzly: I suspect the Gim team that showed up today was very different to last week’s team. On several occasions Gim have proven to be a mighty team to come up against so I’m very hesitant to speculate what Affies’ and Helpies’ worth is… especially Affies
Jo…jo. Bois kon net somaklik die wedstryd verloor het. Ek wonder of hulle nou hulle “get out of jail” kaart vir die jaar gebruik het.
@Gatskop: daai tackle was beslis n geel gewees, monnas kan bietjie teleurgesteld wees met die uitslag van die game
Die skydsregter in die Monnas Bois game is werklik waar ver uit sy diepte.
Hy gee geel kaarte vir terugpraat en niks vir n spear tackel… Werklik dis net nie goed genoeg nie.
WELL DONE HILTON….
@Strepie: Sjoe dis n moeilike een. Ja Bois het n kans as hulle pak voorspelers kan domineer. As hulle Kwaggas agterlyn bal op dir voovoet gee gaan Kwaggas wen.
Bois is vir my voor sterker terwyl kwaggas agter sterker is.
@Strepie: Die ou is baie slim, Monnas se tweede span is die Kwaggas!
As die ou (kommentator) op SSL nog een keer vir Monnas die ‘Kwaggas’ gaan noem….siesa!!
@Gatskop: Het HJS n kans teen Kwaggas?
Kwaggas (Outeniqua) gaan bitter baie ver wen teen Waterkloof.
Kwaggas het enorme spoed agter.
@Grizzly: ons sal maar sien hoe die bal hop, die 70 is die amptelike telling, ek het egter n ander telling gesien maar sal hou by die een wat die skool gee
Menlo 27-23 Ben Vorster.
Vossies heel game voor, net om in doodsnikke te verloor…eish, pity.
Sorry Vossies, was amper….veels geluk Menlo
@Smallies: Dit sit die Affies/Helpies en Grey/Gim uitslae in pespektief.Grey weer unstoppable hierdie jaar….
Welkom Gim 35 Helpies 7
Grey kollege 70 Duineveld 7
Daar klop Brandwag (PE) vir Grey High school 17 – 10. Outeniqua het laas week vir Brandwag 38 – 5 gewen. So of Brandwag is sterker as wat ek gedink het of Grey High gaan die jaar sukkel. Wat Outeniqua betref sal ons later vanmiddag teen Waterkloof sien of ons werklik kan begin uitsien na ‘n goeie jaar. Wel dis nou as die Corona gemors nie alles bederf nie.
With Super Rugby being put on hold it won’t be long before the upcoming festivals start getting canned …
@CapeMan: The chances of you dying at an ATM withdrawing money is higher than you getting the corona virus in South-Africa
@CapeMan: WTF SA is one the most dangerous country in the world. Do we stay indoors. You got more chance of getting your underpants stolen in SA than getting Corona Virus. Maybe got to the pub and buy yourself a Corona. Sorry man I forgot, Cape Town isn’t part of SA??????????????????
@CapeMan: Jeepers dude, our length and girth depends on our Alma Maters performance, what are you talking about!
@CapeMan: I could not agree with you more. It borders to complete recklessness.
People of this blog, is it not perhaps irresponsible for schools to be allowing sport during this pandemic outbreak of the corona virus? I know I would definitely not allow a child of mine to play sports during this time.
Boishaai 0/14a vs Wit Bulle 0/14a 40-0
Boishaai 0/15a vs Wit Bulle 0/15a 8-7
@BrotherBear: Hoofstad is die N1 winkelsentrum ?
Boishaai’s first full length game.
The plan was to still use this game as trials together with the Ireland games to settle on a starting xv for the very tough season that lies ahead..
@Quagga: I will stick my neck out and make Welkom Gimmies and Boishaai the slight favourites to win.
@Rainier: Gee asb tellings van Garsies vs Grey,bietjie kommentaar oor die wedstryde sal ook lekker wees.
@Beet: For the first time I am not certain of the outcome of Welkom Gim vs Helpies in Welkom and Monnas vs. Boishaai. Those are going to be two telling clashes.
@Strepie: nope boerewors gordyn begin by Parow, my ou!
Ek hoop Boishaai kan die ding doen teen die Wit Bulle die naweek!
@David: Hoekom is jy warm onder die kraag? Ek dink Garsies het hart gewys, die Grey spannetjie is spesiaal met 3 of 4 spelbrekers. En die /11’s was baie close.
Ek is Saterdag by Loftus. Kry my nommer by Beet en dan drink ons ‘n bier by Trademarx. Die rugby word glo op die B-veld gespeel.
@Rainier: Sou jou graag gister by d game ontmoet het. Ek is nogals warm onder d kraag na gister. Jy saterdag dalk by loftus? Ons speel florida 7:30.
Seems like the the 2020 rugby season could be a huge disappointment. Michaelhouse have just pulled out of their weekend fixture against St Charles due to concerns about Coronavirus. The likelihood of more schools following suit must be high and the situation doesn’t seem like it will resolve itself soon.
@Rainier: Jy veralgemeen mos nou vreeslik. Ek voel skoon persoonlik aangeval.
@Strepie: Die manne in die Kaap eien hulle baie goed toe.
@Rainier: Die manne in die Kaap het daardie titel vir hulself toegeeien.
@Strepie: Ek het altyd gedink dis ‘n redelike vloeibare begrip.
@Rainier: Ek dog die boereworsgordyn is knap na die Kraai-Brack grens in die Kaap
For people behind the Boerewors curtain there is an exciting opportunity today to see the GCB /13 team in action this afternoon. They are playing at 16:30 at Garsfontein Primary, a huge challenge for the local team after GCB gave Kenmare a hiding yesterday.
Other surprising news is that Affies vs Diamandveld will be broadcast on SSL.
13:00 Affies 1st XV vs Diamantveld 1st XV, 14 March

The Coronavirus has claimed another fixture – Michaelhouse vs St Charles has been cancelled
Bishops impressed. Draw would have been a true reflection. Both backlines topclass.
@2021: Jo,groot woorde na net 1 dag se rugby.By gese Gim en Boishaai was teenwoordig.Hulle moet spesiale spelers wees.Wens regtig ons kon meer van die Suide Skole sien maar hulle kom nie Gauteng toe nie.Sal uit kyk vir die 2.
@Vyfster: I’m still in Cape Town after the CycleTour and will miss Saturday’s fixture. At least it will be on Digitv!
It’s going to be a good one! Menlo should be much better prepared than two weeks ago against Welkom Gim. Ben Vorster will have a lot of confidence after last weekends good start to the season.
My the best team (Menlo) win!
Hopefully this will now be an annual fixture going forward.
@Beet: Beet Ek dink Bishops se 10 en 11 het vroeg hulle hand opgesteek as 2021 SA Skole spelers.
@Beet: No chance, remember it’s the best of the Lions playing the best of province…..
How good was the Bishops – Paarl Gim game tonight. Bishops might have lost this warmup but I think they made a lot of friends amongst the neutrals by the way they play. And can you ever underestimate a Gim team. They just always seem to find a way to be effective when it matters most.
@Grizzly: Well Boishaai had a good workout tonight. That will serve them well going into Saturday’s game. I wonder if Monnas will be a little undercooked?
@Vyfster: Thanks. I must add that. Could be a good one.
@Beet: you forgot to list the best fixture this week
Ben Vorster vs Menlopark….lol
Current Virsekerbeker cup against plate champions!
Suppose the junior teams will take big losses….hopefully the 1st team will be competitive.
Last year the score was 44-30 for Menlo at home.
At least better than the 44-17 Menlo beat Helpies in Virseker cup final
This year home fixture for BV….go Vossies!
@Vleis: Nope, that is why they’ve agreed to play Glenwood again, they feel they can compete. They have had 4 years of very good grade 8 recruited sides, so it certainly won’t be one way traffic at all age-group levels. I think the one year, probably 2 years ago their U14A side might have challenged Grey Bloem if they had played
@De-flea the Dog: OK, so the first competitive game for six years. As you say, hopefully played in good spirit. Hilton have upped their game significantly in recent years (they’re consistently a top 20 team these days) so there won’t be a repeat of the last scoreline!
@Vleis: They played Hilton last year in the friendly Voortrekker night series and the year before in warm-up chukka’s. Hopefully it’s played in good spirit.It’s at Glenwood, so good to have home advantage. The Glenwood team is a good mix and I think well balanced, maybe lacking experience in the backs. Last time they played was in 2014 when Glenwood won 67-7. Stats are as follows;
First played – 1915
Played: 97
Glenwood won: 39
Hilton won: 53
Drawn: 5
Biggest loss (1915) – 0-46
Biggest win (2014) – 67-7
Will be a very good game…..
Sien uit om om die boys vanmiddag weer te sien…PRG teen Wynberg…en natuurlik vir Boishaai en Gimmies in aksie te sien…sterkte aan al die spanne
Graeme rugby day predictions:
Cambridge by 30
Dale by 15
Hudson by 40
Queens by 15
Grey by 10
Selborne by 10
Framesby by 10
Graeme by 5
Vanaand klap die eerste skote vir Boishaai, met seker die laaste Nuweland rugbydag.
Boishaai beskik oor n sterk pak voorspelers tog n jong en onervare agterlyn.
Ek sien uit na lekker hardlooprugby.
Gim tn Bishops behoorlik iets besonders te wees.
@Gatskop: Behoort n maklike wen vir Boishaai te wees.Monnas en Garsies kon nie eers die eindstryd vir Virseker maak laasjaar nie.Boishaai kort kop after Grey vir laaste 10 jaar rankings vertel sy eie storie.
I will be at the Porterville rugby day. Cant wait…
@Beet: Some cracking fixtures in KZN. College will be desperate for revenge after losing to Northwood for the first time last year, but that will be a difficult task given Northwood’s result v Kearsney away last weekend and the fact that they have home ground advantage. Glenwood and Hilton are arguably the strongest teams in Natal at present and the match might have extra needle after a six (is it?) year sabbatical. I’m also interested to see if Westville will continue the progress that they made last year.
My game of the weekend without doubt is Boishaai vs Monnas.
The Welkom Gim vs Helpmekaar match should also be very good.
At Loftus my pick of the matches is Boland Landbou vs HTS Middelburg, but seeing what firepower Gim and the Kwaggas have will also be interesting.
At Graeme a toss up between Brandwag vs Grey PE and Framesby vs St Andrew’s College.
And if I could go to all three of these matches in KZN I would
Glenwood vs Hilton
Northwood vs College
Westville vs DHS
I don’t think any neutral can go wrong by attending or viewing either of the three.
