@tzavosky (Comment #385)
Daai klub bestaan vandag nog….kan nou ner nie op die naam kom nie ,sal google vra ,hy het n hele paar groot songs op daai oliboor helipad geskryf oa Help me make it through the night
Die rugby club is die claremont colleges rugby club
@Smallies (Comment #384)
@Deon (Comment #383)
Die storie agter Me and Bobby McGee is dat Fred Foster van Monument Records vir Kristofferson vertel het van ‘n ateljee sekretaresse met die naam Bobby McKee (ja, met ‘n K) en hom uitgedaag het om ‘n song oor haar te skryf.
Op daai stadium het hy helikopters gevlieg na olie platforms in die Golf van Mexico, en terwyl hy daar oornag het, het hy die song geskryf (maar hy het die van verkeerd gehoor).
En ja, hy het al daai kwalifikasies gehad, veral ook dat hy rugby gespeel het en ‘n klub in San Diego (as ek reg onthou) saam met pêlle begin het.
@Deon (Comment #383)
Ja ou Kris flous baie met daai aksent van hom ,Saam met Bob Dylan sekerlik een van die grootste liedjie skrywers ooit ,hoogs slim ook 😂😂 Die storie van Sunday morning coming down is baie nice
@Smallies (Comment #380)
Kyk nou hoe baie leer ek alweer. Ek het dit NOOIT geweet nie. Moerse nuus vir my en ek het dit gaan double check. Nie omdat ek jou nie vertrou nie, bloot omdat dit so vergesog geklink het. Willie se song saam met Sinead O’Connor. Ook superdiep en supermooi.
@Deon (Comment #379)
Dis die lewe
@Deon (Comment #379)
Daai colab van Cash en U2 is baie cool en sy laaste song ook …Hurt
@Deon (Comment #379)
Kris het nou anderdag op Willy Nelson se 90ste verjaarsdag saam met Cash se dogter gesing,daai man het n Groot lewe gehad ,Decorated pilot,Tuinier vir Johnny Cash,Akteur ,Rhodes Scholer ,Oxford blues rugby …..ja ja ja die man kon jol…en sekelrlik een van die grootste liedjie skrywers ooit ,die liedjie wat hy vir Johnny Cash geskryf het toe die uit rehab gekom het is baie baie baie diep,Good morning John is sy naam
@Smallies (Comment #378)
Kyk, ek het ‘n hele playlist van Cash, wat sy Neil Young, Neil Diamond covers ens insluit, selfs ‘n U2 cover, en soms dink ek hy doen dit beter. Luister na Cash se weergawe van Heart of Gold. F…n asembenewend mooi. Kristofferson is ook net ‘n legend. As mens kyk hoe baie sterre soos Janis, Prince, Michael Jackson , Hendrix, Elvis en so baie dood is van oordosisse dan ek my Skepper dat ek net ‘n plain jane, eenvoudige middelklas ou is, want as ek al daardie druk, en druk van roem op my moes gehad het sou ek waarskynlik dieselfde pad gevolg het. Gee maar vir my die see, my duikpak, my boot, kayak, sosaties en snoekbraai, rooikrans, lekker musiek luister, en te moet budget, en o ja my Hilux en my tent en my border collie Jack Russel kruis. Een keer per jaar ‘n paar bokke skiet of laat skiet….. Beter as al daardie geld en druk. Die girlfriend is ook ok, maak heel lekker kos. Net lui met die skottelgoed.
@Deon (Comment #377)
Janis Joplin en Kris Kristoffersen is n wen kombinasie ,en Kris se beste chom in die wereld Johnny Cash….ooooo donner hier gaat ek down the rabit hole next up Waylon Jennings
@Smallies (Comment #376)
Jislike ou vriend, dis darem maar klas. Beautiful. Sy was net in ‘n ander klas. Uit daardie Big Brother and the Holding Company era kom nog vele juwele. Ek het gelees dat Leonard Cohen se Hallelujah die song is wat die meeste gecover is in geskiedenis, met meer as 800 amptelike covers, terwyl “Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose” die frase is uit ‘n liedjie wat die meeste aangehaal is ooit. Ek wonder baie presies wat sy daarmee bedoel het. Soms vang ek dit, soms glip dit weg. Dankie.
@Deon (Comment #375)
https://youtu.be/5Cg-j0X09Ag?si=TxMa8esvf8s_FWY9
Terug na musiek ,moet die een deel ,sy is tog maar een van my all time gunstelinge
@Kaya 85 (Comment #374)
I am a figures and numbers man, and they can never be jealous. I think I am anyway too old and tired to be capable of jealousy. How did Gim as a whole do against Affies, go check, and against Grey? PRG last year against Grey in Bloem, perhaps Boishaai? Similar to 7/31, or comparable. It is wonderful to lead the first team bord, but what about the rugbySCHOOL bord? Anyway, although technically correct, it was meant in jest to tease my friend Smallies originally. So, I will leave it at that, and take the dogs for a swim at the beach. Or the tidal pool, it is about 7 meters wide and 31 meters long at the current tide.
In short, no ways. Grey’s strength is all its teams, but they are known far and wide for their 1st XV.
Affies is a fantastic educational AND rugby institution with amazing depth across all age groups. Full stop.
I would bet that no school in SA gets a better win rate than 7/31.
I also bet u that Affies wouldn’t mind ‘trading’ a few of those lower team wins…(e.g. a win ratio of 16/31) to achieve a First Team win. But they can’t. Because almost no one beats Grey unless its after CW and Grey have their 4 or 5 SA schools and another 4 SA Academy players removed.
Facts.
Stick to the reality.
Everything else is masqueraded jealousy.
@Smallies (Comment #372)
Moontlik, ek weet nie. Ons moet maar werk op die hede, die nou,werklikheid, realisme “the times they are a changing”. Regte rugbyskole soos Affies moet die skole sonder diepte, veral plattelandse skole, soos Grey, help om ‘n teenwoordigheid te behou. Dit sal goed wees om 7/31 klas skole soos Grey weer terug te kry op ‘n vlak waar mens hulle ten minste kan beskryf as ‘n opkomende rugbyskool. Ek dink as die oop spanne van Grey oorwinnings behaal teen Affies, op staggering basis, sal dit hulle beeld ook poets en hulle beter laat voel.
@Deon (Comment #369)
Jy meen soos Grey nou al jare lank die oopspanne af stagger sodat PRG kompeterend kan voorkom🤣🤣🤣🤣
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #356)
Ek het dit nie eers geweet nie.
@Kaya 85 (Comment #368)
It is not a joking matter though. Grey being able to only win 7/31 against Affies is bad for platteland rugby and we must help them.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #367)
Nee nie 20 nie. Ons hou by die wetenskap, geen duimsuigery nie. Dis inelkgeval ‘n ander argument. Die feit bly staan dat behalwe vir die “boonste spanne” wat mens kan sterk hou met die beursie, en nie die aantrekkingskrag van die skool as instansie van puikheid nodig het nie, behoort Affies nicer te wees met Grey, en soos ons jaar na jaar sien, die wedstryde te laat stagger, om Grey meer kompeterend teenoor ‘n genuine rugbyskool te laat voorkom. Affies kan ongelukkig nie die akademie ook vir hulle laat stagger nie.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #367)
😃🤣 You should do Comedy.
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #366)
Okay, so Grey kry +20 vir die lugdruk voordeel, maar kry -20 vir die swaar veld, so in Agustus begin Grey en PRG dus op 0-0, MAAR Jorenzo is nogsteeds beseer, dus -20 vir PRG, dus Grey moet met +20 wen anders het PRG in effek die interskole gewen??
@OUD ANKER (Comment #364)
Lugdruk < Swaar nat veld. Dus Longe < Bene…as jou bene en kuite kak gaan jou longe nie help nie!
@OUD ANKER (Comment #360)
Ek sou dink Michael Jackson en Elvis Presley het ook meer verkoop as Eagles. Selfs Pink Floyd sou sekerlik meer as Eagles wees.
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #361)
En moenie van lugdruk vergeet nie, dis baie belangrik, dit gee onmiddellik vir Affies en/of Grey ‘n 20 punte head start as hulle afkom Kaap toe, m.a.w as Grey vir PRG in Augustus in Stellenbosch met 10 punte stamp het Grey inderwaarheid met 10-20 = -10 punte verloor agv die lugdruk.
@Kaya 85 (Comment #358)
Went down a Dire Straights rabit hole about a week ago🤣🤣🤣
ACDC is my bure se gunsteling band ….of hulle dit nou like of nie 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tuisvoordeel beteken nogal iets in die groot Interskoles waar seuns met busse oor lang afstande moet reis. Resultate tuis is gewoonlik in die gasheer span se guns. As Affies bv in middel Julie moet afkom Stellenbosch of Paarl toe en op papnat velde en reen speel gaan hulle uitslae dalk nie so great lyk nie. Wie het totale games van Affies en Grey teen Paarl Gim bv. Sal ook goeie aanduiding gee.
@Smallies (Comment #359)
Okay ek praat k*k ..die Eagles en Beatles het actually meer albums verkoop..maar eks biast ek hou actually nie baie van die Eagles of Beatles nie.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #357)
Led Zep 300 mil
ACDC 200mil
On guitar Mark Knopfler, also a remarkable songwriter.
@Smallies (Comment #354)
En Led Zeppelin oortref almal wat hier genoem is wat betref albums verkoop..!
@Deon (Comment #355)
En hy kon aanvanklik glad nie fluit speel nie..hy wou die klank inbring maar niemand kon fluit speel nie..toe leer maar homself!.
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #348)
Hy is ook net ‘n fenomeen en legende. Soos Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood , Neil Young .
Onvervangbaar. As hy daai fluit uithaal in Locomotive Breath……Klassiek
@Deon (Comment #351)
Albei is uniek in hulle eie reg Brian was Bon se uitverkose opvolger gewees ,asof hy geweet het wat voorle
Ek dink ook hulle sou uitgebrand het as Bon bly leef het
@Smallies (Comment #350)
ONGELOOFLIK
@OUD ANKER (Comment #349)
Dis ‘n ok skool, ek stry nie.
@Smallies (Comment #346)
Ek verkies steeds Bonn Scot bo Brian Johnson.
@Deon (Comment #344)
Queen se optrede by Live Aid word tot vandag as die beste live set ooit gesien ….dis briljant
@Smallies (Comment #341)
Maar onthou die gesprek het begin met @Deon wat reken Grey is nou ‘n boereorkes skool…ek weet bitter min van Grey af behalwe dat Steve Hofmeyer 7 soorte kak uit my irriteer het toe hy gereken het dat Affies lucky was om so naby was om Grey amper te gewen het…Steve, ongeag jy bly ‘n legend….en Grey dink ek ongeag wat @ Deon dink sal vir ‘n hele paar jaar ‘n boereoekes EN redelike goeie rugby skool wees….!😁
@Deon (Comment #344)
Ian Anderson se public school aksent!
@Kaya 85 (Comment #327)
The number one Chess Master in SA today goes by the name of Dr Jacob Zuma. Master tactician.
Stukkie useless information….Def Leppard se album Hysteria is halpad deur Jim Steinman opgeneem ,die band het egter niks gelaaik van hoe dit klink nie en fire to vir Steinman, hulle stel toe vir Mut Lange aan wat die hele proses van voor af begin het ,Hysteria is vandag een van die grootste rock albums ooit,Hy was ook die producer van ACDC Highway to hell,Back in Black en For those about to rock….drie van die heel grootste albums ooit
@Smallies (Comment #342)
Daai een was n fokkapie van note!
@Smallies (Comment #320)
Hy was baie spesiaal. Die rede hoekom sy ouers gevlug het uit Zanzibar, die Zanzibar genocide, het my baie laat dink. Ek is tans op die Ozzy/Black Sabbath/Deep Purple “trein”. Soms bietjie Jethro Tull.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #332)
Nee man, Affies het daardie dag ook by verre meeste wedstryde gewen. Bring staggering in want Grey het nie diepte nie, nie ‘n rugbyskool nie. Wannabes
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #339)
Pandoras box….
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #339)
I REMEMBER EVERYTHINNNNGGGGG…..
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #339)
🤣🤣🤣
@OUD ANKER (Comment #336)
Jim Steinman moet maar net nie sy eie goed probeer sing nie…Los dit vir Meatloaf en Bonnie Tyler.
@Kaya 85 (Comment #327)
Yes, but how on earth do you chess mate Ethan Adams on a rugby field…he will just f..up the queen, king, bishops and castles in all directions in one move!
@Smallies (Comment #334)
Alice Cooper….shut the f..up..ons gaan nou weer hoor hierdie is ‘n SBR blog!
Meatloaf/Steinman, potatoe/patatoe…I wont do anything for love…
@OUD ANKER (Comment #333)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@OUD ANKER (Comment #330)
ACDC het al gerock to James Hedfield nog net n glinster in sy pa se oog was ….mindyou Metalica is gladnie sleg nie ….Meatloaf is niks sonder Steinman nie
@Smallies (Comment #306)
Yes, but prof can like to talk English many better than us poepolle van Brakpan.
@Deon (Comment #307)
En na 2023 se skitter vertoning van Affies teen Grey in Bloem op die rugby veld is Affies sedertdien ‘n tafeltennis skool!
@Smallies (Comment #310)
Ja, maar kan hulle sing/speel soos daai Affies Rooi Dasse?
@Smallies (Comment #320)
Who is ACDC?? Metallica/Meatloaf light??🤣
@Kaya 85 (Comment #327)
You’d be surprised how many inmates are excellent chess players…I play for fun but nothing serious
@Kaya 85 (Comment #326)
Classified….
@Deon (Comment #319)
Chess is my other passion…it’s ‘rugby coaching – the boardgame’.
@Smallies (Comment #324)
Oh I see…just not on the kidneys. You must have broken some bones.
@Kaya 85 (Comment #323)
Not realy a fan ,that squeaky voice of Morten ….no thanks
@Kaya 85 (Comment #321)
a donkiepi@l is a black rubber batton…
@Smallies (Comment #320)
I hear A-HA is back on Jacaranda radio playlist
@Deon (Comment #319)
K@kpraat first and foremost. We are amongst the finest!
@Smallies (Comment #318)
Wtf…only after a few cups of green tea..
@Deon (Comment #319)
Farrokh is een van die beste sangers in die geskiedenis van sangers ,daaroor kan ons saam stem,ook dat slim mense metal like 🤣🤣🤣🤣
PS ACDC is wragtag weer besig met n wereld toer
@Kaya 85 (Comment #316)
Come visit. We can talk all night about Luca Pacioli of the RCC, inventor of the double entry system, 600 years ago, I have been to his office, or Freddy Mercury’s dad, accountant of the British government in Zanzibar, I have been to his offices. Maybe Einstein gravitation vs Newton gravitation, or Einstein vs Planck/Bohr, or Kant vs Kierkergaard vs Chesterton, or heavy metal, snoekvang, or folk/jazz/classical music, mosselgrawe, perlemoen, galjoen en kreef steel, bonsai, impressionists, kakpraat, van wyk Louw vs Opperman, SBR, what i do not know I will learn from you. Have a good night.
@Kaya 85 (Comment #316)
Can’t help you with those,although I’m very good at donkiepi@l slaan….I’m also fluent in lelik vloek…
@Kaya 85 (Comment #314)
Just take your own konsertina.
@Smallies (Comment #313)
Besides fishing lessons, I also desperately need philosophy, world history and logic lectures from @Prof D…+ creative accounting
@Kaya 85 (Comment #314)
You’ll be impressed 👍👍👍its like PRG but for men
@Smallies (Comment #299)
Maybe I’m coming to Bloem soon to visit the Jedi rugby shrine
@Kaya 85 (Comment #311)
Thats it fokkol fishing lessons for you….
@Snelvuur (Comment #309)
Die badge ook (baie belangrik dit verander die hele dinamiek van die span)
@Deon (Comment #305)
😆 🤣 LOL…priceless!
@Deon (Comment #307)
Grey het n damm goeie boere orkes,I’ll have you know
@Smallies (Comment #304)
Skuus, die truikleure verskil.
@Smallies (Comment #306)
7/31 is nog Engels, nog Afrikaans.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #302)
Lees #305. Grey is nou ‘n Boereorkes skool. Ek dink nie daar is Cravenweek vir die polka, Dagstêrwals , riel , konsertina solo, bekfluitjie blitz, waslap vastrap ensovoorts nie.
@Deon (Comment #305)
Dink jy nou omdat jy engels praat dat jy slimmer klink 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Smallies (Comment #299)
I never mentioned any sides but Affies and Grey. Grey managed to only win 7/31. Zero depth. Wallet empty. Incorporating Eastern Cape Schools into the Free State, believing them to be closer to Bloem now. Soon Kareedouw will be moved to die Vrystaat too. Not a true rugby school of the caliber of Affies. So, to make the interschools fair towards Grey rugby players, and give them all a fair chance, strength vs strength, in the spirit of Ubuntu, stagger the games from certain teams down. It will be uplifting for the weaker school and good for SBR.
@Snelvuur (Comment #303)
Nie die selde ding nie….
@OUD ANKER (Comment #300)
Jy bedoel Vrystaat se Craven Week span?
@Smallies (Comment #301)
Exactly…hoe kon jy nou dink dat Grey se 1e span enige Wynlandse 0/14 span kan klop!! Komaan @Smallies Grey is ‘n 2e rangse rugby skool!!😆
7@OUD ANKER (Comment #300)
Ooooo kak ja, ek het vergeet hulle stagger mos nou die spanne
@Smallies (Comment #299)
No you wrong Grey’s 1st team will lose against some 0/14C team of some Winelands team…according prof @ Deon..
@Kaya 85 (Comment #297)
You must come visit me,Ill teach you and afterwards we’ll go to Bloemies te see Grey fcukup some cape side 🤣🤣🤣
@Smallies (Comment #296)
That’s very funny although I don’t even understand the fishing analogy…lol
@OUD ANKER (Comment #290)
Die proffie hengel al weer met n Mieliepit in n Floatie dam…het so n bytjie gegee maar is nie lus vir mielies vanaand nie
@Smallies (Comment #294)
Die prof rook iets…al wat ek sal comment.
@Deon (Comment #289)
Hoekom dink ek Grey C het hulle game gewen teen Affies….
Y@Kaya 85 (Comment #292)
Paul Anthony is still jamming in the local pubs/establishments with his music, age is just a number…but his knowledge is rubbing off on a few good guys at PBHS…!
@OUD ANKER (Comment #286)
Mr Anthony must be getting along in years now…hope they can put a succession plan in there.
@Tang (Comment #280)
Good insight. Because that team has been doing a LOT of things very well, just a little off the pace cohesively, maybe mentally…a sleeping Giant is PBHS.
@Deon (Comment #289)
Prof, ek sal nooit met jou saam stem wat Grey betref nie. Grey sal ALYD (wat ‘n lang tyd is) krag teen krag speel.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #285)
Affies se diepte is ongelooflik. Soos dit nou daar gaan, waar Grey CB slegs 7/31 kon wen, gaan hulle binnekort die wedstryde moet begin “stagger” teen GCB. Eerstes teen eerstes, maar daarna byvoorbeeld Grey C teen Affies E ensovoorts.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #287)
Jip, 2018 teen Affies begin, 2019 van die bench af…..Nou dat ek daaraan dink, dalk was dit die verskil
@The O (Comment #284)
Inderdaad as dit 2019 was..
@The O (Comment #277)
And don’t underestimate the influence Paul Anthony had on that team…it was so interesting to watch the video afterwards of how meticulously he planned for the Affies game and it just fell into place on the day.
@The O (Comment #281)
And Affies for some reason has a somewhat mediocre 0/14A team this year, it is somewhat inexplicable especially since the depth is so unbelievable, I mean Affies can push a 0/14 I team onto a field this year!
@OUD ANKER (Comment #213)
Ons seuns moes dan saam gespeel het 💪
@Tang (Comment #278)
The latter. Our kids played for the SA indoor cricket team together many moons ago.
@Tang (Comment #280)
Agree with you 100%
@Asterix (Comment #279)
It will definitely be a good one to watch.. I’ve personally never seen a PBHS u/14 team beat Affies
@The O (Comment #277)
I think this is one of the key points. Winning is a habit and you have to believe you can beat teams. I’ve watched the current first fifteen a few times and they seem to lack belief in themselves. As soon as they are put under pressure, they make poor decisions and almost seem to believe they don’t deserve to win.
@The O (Comment #277)
I think this years o/14 of PBHS will be the favourites against Affies based on the current form, it is going to be a close game.
@Vleis (Comment #275)
@ Vleis – Busacker or Kuhn? Also had a very good flyhalf Andre Le Roux. I think Le Roux played for N Tvl schools.
@Vleis (Comment #262)
The main difference between the 2019 team and probably those of other years was that they believed from u/14 level that they could beat Affies when they play them in matric. The age group results were always a lot closer for this group through the years, than the norm.
@Vleis (Comment #275)
Don’t you start now….
@OUD ANKER (Comment #274)
“I’d rather be a pebble than a rock!”
@Tang (Comment #271)
I know (albeit, I haven’t seen him for over a decade) one of the props from that 82 team. I didn’t realise that they had such a good season.
@Smallies (Comment #270)
Ek dink/hoop die PBHS/Affies interskole is veilig, want alhoewel ‘n PBHS wen op die rugbyveld deesdae ‘n sg. black swan gebeurtenis is, bly die PBHS/Affies interskole ‘n hoogtepunt van veral die matrieks se skool sport/rugby loopbaan omdat dit die heel laaste keer is wat daai laaities daardie jersey oor die kop trek en feitlik na elke so interskole 1e span wedstryd tjank uitgevrete stutte en slotte van albe spanne wen of verloor dat die snot spat en dit is daardie gees wat so spesiaal is van PBHS teen Affies, souties teen die boertjies op die dag maar meer as broers na die game en hopenlik gaan dit vir nog 100 jaar aan.
@Tang (Comment #271)
Fascinating,thanks.The game i was looking for was the one against Gerrit Maritz.Thought it was GM against Affies in that semi.That mean my Alma Mater came from NTVL B Bond to win it overall.
@tzavosky (Comment #268)
Nee
Syne in 2011 tragies oorlede
@Grizzly (Comment #209)
Yes sure. In 1982, Boys High were the Administrators Cup/ League winners in the Ntvl A Area.
League Results were:
Brits – L 15-18
Menlopark – W 19-3
Overkruin – W 25-6
Erasmus – W 11-6
Affies – W 17-10
Verwoerdburg – W 18-4
John Voster – W 12-9
The win against Affies was vital because it allowed PBHS to clinch the A Area title and qualify for the play-offs.
In the quarter final, they played Wonderboom and won 10-9. The semi-finals were against Gerrit Maritz at Loftus. Boys High lost 3-4.
Boys High were not the overall Admin winners but were the A Area winners and qualified for the play-offs.
An interesting fact. Kitch Christie helped coach the 1982 Boys High first side
@OUD ANKER (Comment #269)
Ek onthou nou daar was sterk sprake dat Affies sou ontrek maar hulle het besluit om te speel uit eerbied vir die seun….ek dink dat daardie dag die bande tussen Affies en PBHS net versterk het…dit is n interskole wat nooit moet verdwyn nie

You are 100% correct, BUT Paul Anthony had a very specific game plan. The game plan was very, very unique and specific and it worked out to the “T” and his players believed and followed that game plan and the rest is history and Paul Anthony a living legend as a result.

Lees die werke van professor David Welsh (spesifiek oor Shepstone), ANC man, en Anton Lubowski (Swapo man, dood in sluipmoord). Albei PRG Old Boys, en David se seun ook ‘n PRG Old Boy, so 1986, dan sal jy meer verstaan oor “witmense se rol” in SA. Anyway, ek het vir beet op skrif belowe ek sal nie meer politiek opbring op die blog nie, so ek het reeds oortree, en jammer, ek kan nie verder praat nie, ongeag hoe problematies ek eenogige stellings vind.

@Snelvuur (Comment #250)
Dan was onderwys as geheel baie swakker as in SA. Dis die punt. In totaal dramaties beter opgevoed as Zimbabweër met swart ingenieurs wat teen 1990 agv manne soos Mcrae reeds Eskom suksesvol op baie vlakke beman het en elektristeit aan Zim verskaf het, asook mediese dienste ens. Zim was baie ver van goudstandaard en is boonop, anders as hier sonder die infrastruktuur gelaat om vol te hou. En ons het merkwaardig verbeter sedert 1953. Kyk die laaste PERL studies oor SA nou. Daardie 80% is triple wat dit nou is op Graad 4 vlak. 139ste uit ‘n moontlike 143. Boonop word gemiddeld 3000 skole per jaar in SA ge “burn and loot”. Lees meer publikasies soos die Sowetan, wat ek elke dag lees. Onder andere.
@Deon (Comment #249)
Ek verstaan nie lekker wat die punt is wat jy probeer maak nie? Daar was heelwat rassistiese wette voor én na 1948 bekragtig. Voor 48 het jy reeds paswette, job reservation, wette teen inter-ras seksuele omgang, beperkinge om grondeienaarskap, aparte ontwikkelling en beperkinge op politieke verteenwoordiging gehad. Na 48 is hierdie pogings in overdrive in gestuur. In elk geval, is al hierdie wette deur witmense ingestel (of dit nou Afrikaners of Britte was). Soos ek dit het, was Van der Bijl op ‘n plaasskool in Gordonsbaai en toe by die Boys’ High School in Franschhoek. Ek weet egter nie rerig watter relevansie dit het nie.

@Deon (Comment #247)
Tersiêr in Zim was definitief baie swak – daarmee stem ek saam. Maar SA se geletterdheidskoers was slegs rondom 80%? Dit help nie om ‘n goeie tersiêre onderwyssektor te hê as slegs 4 uit elke 5 mense eers die vaardighede het wat nodige is om uit die primêre onderwyssektor uit te kom nie. In elk geval, was jou stelling dat ons die mees opgevoede swart meerderheid in 94 gehad het. Die feit dat ‘n beduidende groter deel van ons bevolking (veral ons swart bevolking) minder geletterd was as Zim s’n, bewys daardie stelling verkeerd – of jy nou meen dis passergewys of nie. Mugabe het toe natuurlik heeltemal die land opgeneuk en alles is afdraand daarna – daar stem ons definitief saam.
@Snelvuur (Comment #243)
Watter wetgewing was in plek voor 1948? Was daar swart kinders in PRG? Wanneer is John Dube, stigtingspresident van die ANC, ook die “man” wat sy eie leerlinge swanger gemaak het, oorlede, en wanneer is Charlotte Maxeke oorlede? Voor of na 1948? Wat was die opvoedingspeil, onderwysbegroting (daar was nie ‘n enkele swart staatskool nie), die formule, en swart opvoedingspeil in 1953 en dan weer Desember 1960 met die Cottesloe verklaring statistiek, bygewoon deur Alan Paton, die ANC se ZK Matthews ens?Waar dink jy het Prof/Dr Hendrik van der Bijl, wêreldberoemde fisikus, wiskundige en engineer, vader van Eskom en Iscor, sy skoolopleiding ontvang ( agter in ‘n negosiewa by sy ma) Ideologie suig.

@Snelvuur (Comment #238)
Zimbabwe se onderwysstelsel was baie ver van goudstandaard aangesien tersiêr so swak geword het onmiddelik met Mugabe se oorname dat Zimbabwiërs van alle rasse in SA, insluitende Fort Hare, MOES kom studeer. Kyk na jou top prokureurs en professionele mense nou in Zim, wat 30 jaar gelede geswot het. Kyk hoeveel Maties in die regsbedryf. Dit is dan ook hoekom Mugabe dood is in Singapoer, hy moes ‘n paar prosedures ondergaan wat gemaklik kon gedoen wees in Rhodesië deur dokters van enige ras, maar nie in Zim nie, want die opvoeding waste swak onder hom. zimbabweërs en Zambiërs ensovoorts het lank voor 1994 na SA probeer stroom vir ‘n beter lewe as onder “liberation”, in een projek alleen 500 000 om op die myne te kom werk. Jy is welkom om die ander wang te draai/nie te draai nie, dis jou persoonlike besluit, al wat ek vra is dat jy dan as derde nie voorgee om neutraal en objektief te dink nie. Eeken openlik jy redeneer net soos ‘n passer, al om een gat. Kyk die UN HDI’s, vergelyk die komponente met Zim oor die laaste 40 jaar. vergelyk dan met Mauritius, die Seychelles en nog op die Mauritia mikrokontinent.

Wit mense het ‘n lang geskiedenis in Suid-Afrika: my eie familie is al langer as 300 jaar hier. Maar ‘n onlosmaakbare deel van ons geskiedenis in Suid-Afrika (en Afrika as geheel) is die onderdrukking van swart mense. Kyk na Rhodes se veldtogte in SA, Zimbabwe en Zambië, die Apartheidwetgewing, die feit dat swart mense vir honderde jare nie stemreg gehad het nie, ens. Ek verstaan nie hoekom dit jou kwaad maak nie? Mens moet tog die goeie en die slegte dele van die geskiedenis ewe erken?

Daai o/14’s van julle speel baie mooi, ons ken so paar van die outjies. Maar gee ons span kans dink hier by o/16 gaan dit bietjie anders wees. Die diepte en kwaliteit is eintlik belaglik by Affies, hulle moet nog net almal hulle plekke kry.
@Smallies (Comment #237)
In hierdie geval, is die aantyging dat die swart speler ‘n “monkey” genoem is. Dit is een van die mees algemeen erkende rassistiese terme vir swart mense.
@Deon (Comment #236)
Die feit dat my plasing waarin ek net ‘n voorbeeld van ‘n term wat glad nie eers rerig as beledigend beskou word nie reeds so lang reaksie ontketen het, bewys juis die punt vir waarom mens nie sulke opmerkings in SA (of enige plek) kan gebruik nie. Dit gesê, dink ek in elk geval nie alles wat Prof sê is feitlik heeltemal korrek nie. Na Mugabe oorgeneem het, het Zimbabwe se onderwysstelsel die goudstandaard in Afrika geword (Zimbabwe se geletterdheidskoers was 98% in die 1990s – ons s’n is nou nog nie eers so hoog nie en was in die 90s rondom 80% onder die algemene bevolking – tien teen een veel laer onder die swart meerderheid). Mugabe was natuurlik (veral in sy latere jare) ‘n afgryslike despoot, maar feitlik was ons definitief nie die mees opgevoede swart meerderheid in 1994 nie. Ook, net omdat jy kies om verkeerde opmerkings af te lag, beteken nie ander moet nie. As ek geslaan word, en ek kies om nie aanrandingsklagte te bring nie, kan ek nie ontsteld wees as ander wel daardie klagte bring nie. Dis soos iemand wat hul regte onder ‘n kontrak “waive” – dit beteken nie die ander party verloor ook hulle regte nie.
@Snelvuur (Comment #234)

Indien mens dan na sekere mense se rol in die geskiedenis van die land moet kyk, moet mens volledig, realisties, eerlik en weereens volledig daarna kyk. Almal se rol. Dan moet mens ook kyk na argeologie, DNA-sekwensie, rotstekeninge van die Eerste Mense wat 1680 geslagte, 40 000 jaar alleen in Suidelike-Afrika gewoon het op die mees vrugbare plekke soos Limpopo, Mpumalanga ens. Oppas vir “land thief”. Ek het wel deels op Stellenbosch groot geword maar ek het geweet van of gepraat/verstaan : Afrikaans, Duits/gebroke Yiddish, seTswana en gebroke Khomani-Afrikaans voor ek bewus was van die bestaan van Engels. Ek verstaan die Khomani mense se geskiedenis baie goed, ek is tussen hulle gebore en hulle was my eerste vriende, is vandag steeds. Mens moet ook in ag neem dat ons teen 1994 die bes opgevoede, gesondste en welvarendste swart meerderheid, die met die hoogste UN HDI op Aarde gehad het en ‘n ekonomie, wel onder erge kontantvloeidruk agv sanksies, maar met ‘n infrastruktuur groter, sterker, meer ontwikkeld as die res van Afrika en die “Caribbean” tesame oorhandig het. Ek gaan nie skole se name noem nie, maar daar is al dinge baie erger gesê en gedoen as “Land thief” en ons lag dit af.Dit verdwyn saam met die gesprek oor universiteitskwotas ens. Daarmee keur ek geensins rassisme en rassistiese beledigings goed nie, dis af en totaal onaanvaarbaar, moreel afskuwelik, maar jy oorsimplifiseer totaal in jou plasing. Boonop moet dit of albei kante toe aangespreek word of glad nie.

Aggenee,jy en Astrix.Om te dink dan het julle die keuse van Garsfontein gehad…..Julle net bang vir daai goeie /14 van ons🤣🤣Net n grappie,goeie keuse!
Ek dink dit is baie meer gekompliseerd as om te sê die seuns moet dikker velle groei: sekere woorde het rassistiese konnotasies en kan eenvoudig nie gebruik word nie. Die klag is nie dat daar iets lelik vir hom gesê is nie, maar dat ‘n rassistiese opmerking gemaak is. Dink as ‘n swart speler, byvoorbeeld, na ‘n speler van Landbou as ‘n “land thief” verwys – ek is doodseker daar sal een of ander reaksie wees. Gegewe die rol van wit mense in die geskiedenis van ons land, moet ons nóg meer sensitief wees vir wat ons sê. Daar is steeds duisende ander maniere om iemand te beledig sonder om woorde met rassistiese konnotasies te gebruik (as jy nou rerig voel jy moet).
@OomPB (Comment #223)
Is dit? Soos ek die storie het, het beide ‘n HJS en Rondebosch ou rooikaarte gekry in die tweedespan rugbywedstryd en toe die Rondebosch ou van die veld af loop, is daar iets van die kant af vir hom gegil. Dit het nie gelyk asof dit uit die skool op die pawiljoen gekom het nie, maar uit die een of ander oord. Weet nie of dit ‘n leerder of ‘n ouer was wat hom iets toegesnou het nie.

@OUD ANKER (Comment #204)
Boys High could offer u 12 and u 13 rugby holiday ‘bootcamps’ specifically aimed at those feeder primary schools who only offer soccer…maybe host a late gr 7 tournament…even 7s..just so that when the new grade 8s arrive they have had a bit more exposure to the oval ball game and experienced some physical contact too. By the way, there are rugby benefits too of having players who’ve played some junior soccer – e.g. more 360 degree spatial awareness, and use of space, the flow of movement, kicking skills etc. Even old Frik du Preez played soccer in his primary school days.
@Tang (Comment #201)
Adding to your comments, one of the initiatives driven by Paul Anthony is actually to market PBHS to the local Afrikaans primary schools. It is a well known fact that the traditional feeder primary schools of PBHS are not really focusing on rugby. PBHS will most probably never get the best of the best Afrikaans primary school laaities to join PBHS, they will always go to Affies, Garsfontein, Kloof etc. however those B and even C team primary school Afrikaans boys have a much better rugby base than the ones joining PBHS from a primary school where the closest they get to an oval ball is a flat soccer ball, therefore targeting those B-team Afrikaans primary school boys is a very clever strategy. Just looking back at the 2019 PBHS team that beat Affies, there were names like Reinhardt Nel, Stefan Krugel (Head Boy), JD Minny, JJ Jonker, M Coenraad, all Afrikaans boys and this is not about Afrikaans vs English, it is about the fact that the English primary schools in Pretoria don’t really play rugby and it is then very, very difficult to be competitive as a 0/14 player if you never touched a rugby ball before.
WHAT HAPPENED TO BENNIES RUGBY?
@Bush (Comment #129)
Do you really believe this is how schools are measured? If this is the criteria, then we are in a very sad state. I see Michaelhouse as a lot more than a set of rugby results.
A LONG TERM SUSTAINABLE APPROACH.
A big investment in the right structures and processes. You can see it in the u14 and u15 results. I would say the bulk of PBHS old boys are opposed to the notion of buying a team. However, I think most would agree, Boys High have been a laggard when it comes to making smart choices. In other words, a proper structure and process is a pre-requisite to compete. I think Jeppe and KES have done this exceptionally well and it you can see it in the results. Affies probably perfected this and continue to see the benefits. I am hugely opposed to the quick fix approach. Buy and recruit players regardless of the consequences. I don’t think enough research has been done into the mental health and well being of the recruits. Schools who use this approach treat boys as commodities who are only valuable when they are playing rugby and conrtibuting to the image of the school. Often these boys are recruited from out of province and they are expected to assimilate into a foreign environment and perform at the same time. The promise of a professional career must be very appealing. Has anyone bothered to track or monitor the boys who fail to progress after matric? We only see the success stories. I would love to interview some boys who were recruited and performed at school level but then failed to progress into a professional career.

I’m going to stick to what I can confirm – there are quite a few rumours doing the rounds regarding what happened at the rugby (chiefly due to a tweet which has since been deleted). The first team hockey match was stopped around halftime after a HJS player allegedly called a RBHS player a “monkey”. It’s quite difficult to know what really happened (as with all of these things): the HJS players are denying that this is what was said, while the RBHS players are maintaining their stance on what they heard.

@KES Oldboy (Comment #145)
I completely agree and find it in bad taste to have to pay for a normal Saturday schools fixture. Glenwood are the only school in KZN that do it. Festivals are a different story and I completely understand an entrance fee, as long as its not over the top. Hosting weekend fixtures are part and parcel of a schools sporting programs, and goes with the territory.
All the car/bakkie references reminds me of when I was about 2nd year Varsity, still in the koshuis 5 or 6 guys were debating the relative merits of the various farmers-best-friends The good old bakkie. It was Isuzu this, Nissan that, Hilux what what, back and forth, over and over discussing every engine detail, every feature, every flaw. A totally absorbing debate, very civilized and always with a neat little anecdote to back the claim, no doubt some exaggerations…my mates barely noticed when I excused myself to go down to rugby practice…came back an hour and three quarters later, knock me down with a feather but the okes were STILL arguing about which was the best of the best bakkie.

Ek kan nie meer worry nie. GF ry Hyundai 2023 Venue, oulike kar. Lig op brandstof. Dis lekker om arm te wees, minder worries as jy eers gewoond is lol.

Ek dink motordiefstal is oor die algemeen nie so groot probleem in die Wes-Kaap soos in Gauteng nie. Sure, manne wat hulle laptops op die agtersitplekke van motors in Birdstraat oornag los kan maar solank verskeringsvorms begin invul, maar jou motor (minus ‘n venster) sal darem nog môreoggend daar wees. Party rampokkers is selfs nice en maak jou deur mooi oop sonder om die venster te breek.

@KES Oldboy (Comment #145)
I understand that sentiment. But parents are also more than willing to pay, for example, to watch a school play. Watching sport is not much different. There are big costs involved to host sporting events in general (for many schools, paying the mortgage or rent on the property containing the fields, for PRG the cost of maintaining the fields and of erecting the temporary stands). As with anything, it is possible to do it on the cheap (one could argue, for example, that it also is not right to pay high school fees for public schools), but doing so necessarily diminishes the quality of the spectacle. Public schools can actually ask the municipality to maintain the fields at no extra cost. However, I was a member of a cricket club where we relied on the municipality to do that – I know how that ends. I’ve attended matches at Grey, Paarl Boys’ and PRG (as well as N-S at Affies) this year. I paid at every one. I even paid to watch a match at Paarl Girls’ High. I’d much rather give my money directly to these schools than to the Department of Education (where it somehow gets “lost”).
@Bush (Comment #127)
The young Small is a loose forward. He’s strong and a very direct runner. He’s unfortunately been injured for most of this term so I’m not sure if he played in the match on Saturday vs Affies.

@Snelvuur (Comment #131)
Charging to watch school rugby is in my opinion just wrong. Schools use it as a fund-raiser. None of the Johannesburg schools do it & I’ve never seen it in Natal, Cape Town or E.Cape either. It’s always been a thing at festivals, but they do incur big expenses & need to recover them somehow. And talking about those car guards at Affies for Noord Suid…..2 sets of KES parents had their Fortuners stolen there on the Friday night!
@Smallies (Comment #139)
Grey moet net vir die ander pawiljoene ook dakkies opsit. Daar is bitter baie sitplek, maar beperkte skadukolletjies. Dis die dat mense so moet wedywer vir plekke, terwyl daar eintlik baie sitplek is. By die HJS-Grey wedstryd was daar selfs ouers wat DIY afdakkies met swartsakke en pype gemaak het om uit die son uit te kom.

@Bush (Comment #130)
At Grey entry to the schoolgrouds are free and you use to pay R20 Per Adult, kids in school uniform was free ,no matter what school uniform they had on
@Loubser (Comment #122)
Maybe not for normal games, but Noord-Suid was quite expensive, and I had to pay an unofficial security guard R150 for the privilege of parking on a public sidewalk. In Stellenbosch, parking is safe (and free!). That being said, I agree that the stands are expensive, especially since Old Boys also have to pay – but the total cost of attending a match at Markötter is not much (if at all) more than attending one at Affies. Also, you can pay much less (around R10 to R30) to just enter the grounds – you can then still sit on the main stand or stand alongside the field.
@Smallies (Comment #125)
Don’t come watch rugby in the Midlands, a game between House and Hilton going to cost you about R150.00. Plus the security doesn’t do its job.

@Vleis (Comment #113)
I understand there’s also been heavy heavy investment in the KES u14A team?
KES vs Affies. To me a nice game for Affies supporters in many respects. Lots of continuity and variation. Many players got touches on the ball. I think if there is just one thing that was noticeable its a lack of flair in the backline. Affies good so much good clean frontfoot ball compliments of their pack who seem to get rave reviews week in week out but if they could just introduce one flashy player with a bit of X they would be unstoppable. Eagon Roux has come closest to this part over the course of the season.
The match was 7-0 to KES for a long time that it looked like it was heading for a low scoring finish. Then it just erupted. KES got a try before the break to close the gap to 18-14 I think. Affies first two tries after halftime were off the charts good. Going through phases and lots of quality passing and running lines. Somehow KES stayed in touch through stike plays. Wing Haniel Monkoti carried on where he left off at Westville last week. He was exceptional. Vusi Moyo threw his long accurate trademark cut out pass to the left for one of the assists. The flyhalf still needs to iron out one or two haps like the two AHS intercepts he was part of. but to me he is a step up from Kapank who was last season’s Lions pivot.
The score was 33-26 to Affies well into the second half before they finished strongly. Ruben Pienaar the AHS flyhalf with the prestigious boot got an intercept try – really showed that in addition to being able to be dominant in contact using his frame, he has a bit of pace as well. Affies fullback Ruben Groenwald had a nice game. Last week he didn’t get credit for kicking a 50:22 and he did it again in this game. I think Affies scored as a result of it. Affies surely have more 50:22s than any other tier one school this season.
@Grasshopper (Comment #91)
What is the status of GW boarding establishment? Has it been upgraded/renovated recently? All these administrative issues factor in when the pool of players is being fished. The players’ folks will review this scope as it is compulsory to board if you in the A team right?
@Bush (Comment #87)
Howzit Bushie. I think that the PBHS u14A team is strong this year, as they beat the KES u14A team a month ago…and the KES u14A team is strong – e.g. they beat Affies u14A by 22 to 14 yesterday. James Small’s son is in the KES u14A team.

@yesnomaybe (Comment #104)
Thats a bit stiff…
The incident, high hit no arms, towards the end of the match happened right in front of him & he didn’t raise his flag, it was only the Berg boy who was lying injured on the ground that the ref called him over & they had a chat.
@Bush (Comment #87)
Someone told me that Pretoria Boys have succumb to the pressure and have started, with this u14 group, to offer rugby scholarships? Don’t know how true this is as that was far from a reliable source that told me lol. But their u14A team is very strong. On NextGenXV they’re as high as 10th.
@yesnomaybe (Comment #104)
To be fair, the same linesman also ruled out PRG’s final try. It’s a game of swings and roundabouts with poor officiating. I agree with you regarding the prices of the stands – even PRG Old Boys have to pay to sit on the stands. It is quite exorbitant.
There is no way that Paul Roos will lose to Grey as long as the same linesman is there as yesterday. He was definitely Roos MOM yesterday gifting them 10 points. I’ve never seen a linesman have so much influence in a match before. Im not saying that Roos would’ve lost but he intervened at a crucial time straight after halftime. The Ref who I thought was poor for both sides, was standing on the same side as him, indicated that the ball was held up over the line, yet Mr linesman sticks his flag up standing 20 meters further behind the ref to say that he saw the try being scored. The video of the match was also shot from that side & theres absolutely no way you could give that try. He then raises his flag about who knows what right in front of poles gifting them another 3 points. Absolute shocker. Yet again, I’m not saying the result would’ve been different but it would definitely been much closer. Lastly why is it necessary to charge adults R100 to sit in the stands behind the poles, surely their rugby program doesn’t need more money.

GF se 1stes het werklik pragtige rugby gespeel. Ja Menlo het hul baie spasie gegee, maar hul aggressiewe direkte baldraers het Menlo ‘n baie lank 70 minute gegee, met 10, 11 en 12 wat baljaar het. Beserings bly maar Menlo se achilles heel agv diepte. Alle skole tel beserings op gedurende die lang seisoen. Menlo se A-spanne lyk die te sleg nie, beide 15s en 16s het gister vir GF geklop. Die 14s het gesukkel maar bygese teen ‘n baie indrukwekkende GF o14-span, ek skat seker rondom nr3 in die land. B en C spanne was egter one-way traffic, weereens diepte.

Jy is reg wat dit aanbetref ,ek dink ook die tempo was te veel vir Monnas se heavies ,hulle kon eenvoudig nie bybly nie,gekoppel daaraan was Grey se verdediging topklas gewees
Ek het nou weer na die Monnas-Grey game geloer. Monnas het die kardinale fout gemaak wat jy nie teen Grey kan maak nie: hulle het oor en oor en oor hulle first time tackles gemis. In feitlik elke drie wat Grey gister gedruk het was daar meer as een vermiste duikslag deur Monnas. Grey is reeds goed genoeg, selfs al maak jy jou tackles. Mens kan eenvoudig nie bekostig om so van duikslae af te val teen Grey nie.
Een ding wat my nogals opgeval het is hoe min van Monnas se kinders op die paviljoen was…

Gents, Im making a big pot of lamb and lentil stew, give the Mrs the day off, in the old slow cooker, super tender. Have a good one manne.
SPEEL VIR JOU SKOOL
Hierdie is my opinie.
Al die 1ste span spelers van Grey en PRG is in elk geval op beurse by die skool. As jy die bedrag vat oor 5 jaar wat die skool aan n speler spandeer (skoolgeld, klere, toere, afrigting, gym ens) dan dink ek nie dit is onregverdig van hierdie 2 hoofde om die spelers by SA skole te onttrek sodat hulle eerder hulle skool kan verteenwoordig op interskole nie. N seun wat gekies word vir SA skole is reeds raakgesien tydens sy skoolwedstryde en Cravenweek. Hy sal reeds n kontrak kry en SA skole gaan geen verskil aan sy toekoms maak nie. As jy kyk na die swak strike rate wat ons SA skole en selfs Junior Bokke het, dan is n interskole wedstryd dalk meer waardevol.

My prediction was correct. A very tight game between 2 evenly matched teams. 3:3 at half time. Went to 10:10. Then Northwood went up 13:10 until the final 15 seconds and scored with the final move of the game. They did in fact convert to win 20;10 and make history again for NW. A brilliant way to celebrate Old Boys Day. I believe the u14A, u15A and 2nd team won as well so a great day all round on the rugby front.

Hulle altyd grootbek. Veral ou “bees” hy sal nou weer vir n jaar verdwyn tot hulle weer teen die meisieskool speel.
Laaste 2 weke net gehoor hoe swak al die buurskole is. Hulle vergeet egter n paar belangrike punte.
– hulle is 100+ jaar oud
– 100 jaar terug was daar slegs n handjie vol skole wat rugby gespeel het en hulle het koshuise gehad, ouers het hulle kinders van ver gestuur na die koshuis skole toe
– die meisieskool is nog nie eers 50 jaar oud nie
– dit het Monnas (as ek reg is) 75 jaar gevat om hulle eerste Beeldtrofee te wen
– hulle het n paar Springbokke 7 of iets. Hulle gaan in die volgende 100 jaar net nog 1 of 2 Bokke oplewer, die ander skole het opgevang.
– die buurskole waarvan hulle so praat het n paar foute gemaak, hulle het dubbel medium gegaan en net gefokus op rugby.
– Noordheuwel is n top Afrikaanse skool, een van die beste en grootste in die land. Hulle Netbal, Hokkie, Atletiek en Akademie is briljant, hulle rugby is eintlik hulle swakpunt. Imagine that.
– laaste maar nie die minste nie, jy kan jou skool nie optel en skuif nie, ongelukkig sien ons al hoe meer skole val wat in slegte areas gelee is. Daar het Noordheuwel weer geen probleem nie.
En vir die Monnas Old Boy. Ek kan hoor jy is n old boy, well done, jy het nog passie vir jou skool. Jy is reg, Botter is n Monnas old boy en hy doen goed, net soos die Garsie old boy by julle. Die vraag wat jy moet vra is

@Smallies (Comment #51)
Monnas praat mos Saterdae op die veld, of hoe ?
Some EC results:
Selborne 72-5 Cambridge
Queens 25-27 Hudson
St Andrews 28-29 Grey High
@Smallies (Comment #51)
Grey just tore the whole monument down, including foundations.
@Sisyphus1866 (Comment #39)
taking my hat off…on my feet, slow clap!! Well done Snella, JongMatie and your boys.
Dankie Monnas,dankie dat julle nie ophou speel het nie….Grey manne julle was in n verwoestende bui,ek dink nie enige span sou staande bly nie…Bloemwater lyk my is potent…
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #45)
Was goed maar konsentrasie het gelol by tye, want dit was maar warm op die Plaas. Manne was mooi in beheer, maar het ongelukkig 3-4 scores op die veld gelos, wat ‘n beter weergawe sou gee. Nietemin, die jong span sal aanhou bou en skaaf en binnekort reën dit ook
Most of the Cape schools will be relieved that there is now a break. The turn arounds between one tough game after another and then also Craven Week trials in the week are frankly very tough. Only 4 games left for Boishaai when the school start with games against Stellenberg , Sacs , Boland Landbou and then Interschools.
Lyk my Garsfontein was in ‘n verwoestende bui teen Menlo vandag. Voel jammer vir die spelers en ondersteuners van Menlo rugby. Dis terug tekenbord toe vir die manne aan die stuur…
@Snelvuur (Comment #46)
Ja, toestande in Riversdal is nooit “ideaal” vir besoekende skole nie. 13 Julie is boonop die eerste wedstryd na ‘n lang vakansie, en die Cravenweek.
Jy kan verseker wees Oakdale sal reg wees vir Paul Roos se koms.
Maar heelaas, if you want to be the best, you need to beat the best…
@Sisyphus1866 (Comment #44)
Stem. Gim het vandag ook weer ‘n moeilike wedstryd in Riversdale gehad. Kon maklik anderkant toe gegaan het as Oakdale nie swak foute op verdediging gemaak het nie. Ek is steeds baie nervous oor PRG se trippie Riversdale toe. Dis nooit maklik nie.
@Ploegskaar (Comment #43)
Well done ! That is a big performance! Impressive!
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #37)
Boishaai gaan moeilik wees in die interskole…Hul seisoen sover is waarskynlik nie soos hul gehoop het nie…maar 3 Augustus sal dinge anders lyk.
Landbou 40 SACS 27
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #41)
Ek het ook so gedink ja dankie. Wynberg is altyd moeilik teen Paul Roos.
@Sisyphus1866 (Comment #39)
Goeie wen !
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #37)
Excellent set of results. I think Rondebosch will actually be a little disappointed with their year to date. Their team has promised to much, but have just been unable to apply the finishing touches and get that real headline-grabbing win.
@Kaya 85 (Comment #30)
Ek het Paul Roos se telling as 50-25?
PAUL ROOS 50 - WYNBERG 25 AT MARKöTTER
Mooi manne!
Very happy with Boishaai 36-28 win against strong Rondebosch team. I don’t think Rondebosch won any games today :
0/19 B 36-7
0/16 A 41-17
0/15 A 30-14
0/14 A 16-13

KES 19 – 29 AHS (KES close, but not there)
Potch Gim 18 – 17 Piet Retief (very long drive, stay for a braai)
@House Rugga (Comment #27)
College by 17 is quite a margin. They are a bit of an enigma this year. Lost to Kearsney somehow and the likes of DHS x Boland Landbou (who Hilton beat), but wom against a good Mhouse team and put 40 on Westville (who went toe to toe with both Jeppe and KES – who are top 10 teams). NW I think have mayhe shown more in their results against Hilton, DHS and Mhouse that they can handle MBC on the day. They hit 30 points fairly easily against Kearsney and Glenwood, so I feel this one will be close and with the OBD passion NW will edge it for a famous victory! One can hope 😉
PREDICTIONS FOR THIS WEEKEND
St Charles College by 24 Pts
DHS by 49 Pts
Michaelhouse by 15 Pts
Kearsney by 3 Pts
Hilton by 7 Pts
Maritzburg College by 17 Pts
@Roger (Comment #25)
I predict a very close and tough game. KES has a very good team and at home the spectators are effectively a 16th “player” to KES and Affies must still be reeling physically and mentally after the Grey game.
@OudAffie (Comment #21)
Yup, tongue in cheek. Lightning is a no-no on the highveld, especially after what happened at KES previously with the cricketers. 2017 was not to be but 2012 was also a missed opportunity. Current KES coach was flyhalf that day and that was the team with Malcolm
Marx, Dillon Smith, Cyle Brink etc. KES really should have won that day. I think Pierre Schoeman and RG Snijman were in that Affies team and I remember they had a super quick backline. Beyond that it’s been one way traffic!
@Grasshopper (Comment #22)
Its going to be a tough one. Both teams will know this is a chance to restore some pride against a recognised team. Tough to call.
@PRondersteuner (Comment #19)
Stem! Geen maklike wedstryde in dié liga nie. Wynberg se losskakel is ‘n baie belowende speler en behoort een van die opsies vir SA Skole te wees. Rondebosch het hulle trollie bietjie omgekantel, maar Wynberg bly ‘n baie goeie span.
@Skywalker (Comment #3)
Gosh searching for a win! It’s more like searching for a needle in a haystack. Might go the whole season with just 3 wins from 18, that would officially be the worst season since 1996 (my year)…
@Roger (Comment #20)
It was before half time, the thunder and lightning saved Affies that day, because I do not think anything would have stopped KES. Unfortunately for KES and fortunatly for Affies both Headmasters agreed to cancel the match. But saying that, the two wins over Affies in 2019 and 2021 was special.
@OudAffie (Comment #10)
heh – we count the 2017 game as a win! There are so few against Affies you can give it to us! A bit of thunder and lightning and Affies skedaddled from the field with KES leading 17-7 at half time (I think)
@Snelvuur (Comment #18)
Paul Roos moet net versigtig wees. Wynberg is nie maklik nie. Hulle het so bietjie spoed verloor na die HJS wen, maar dit bly ‘n goeie span.
@PRondersteuner (Comment #17)
Dis seker dié dat die kommentators by Wildeklawer die span Paarl Roos genoem het…
@Zion (Comment #13)
PRG hou nogal daarvan om by julle te wen, maar andersom is ook waar. Ek dink PRG het 2015 laas vir Gim op Markotter gewen
@Zion (Comment #13)
Met Gim se rekord op Markötter, sal ons elke jaar in die Paarl speel!
@Zion (Comment #13)
Gim – altyd nederig, wen of verloor.
Dieselfde kan ongelukkig nie van alle skole gese word nie.
Sterkte aan HJS met die naweek se kragmeting teen Rondebosch.
Dit raak nie makliker nie, en Interskole is om die draai!
Mag daar geen ernstige beserings wees nie.
@PRondersteuner (Comment #9)
Ons speel die naweek by Oakdale, so julle tuisveld (JA Kriel) is beskikbaar
Baie geluk met julle wen PRG manne
@PRondersteuner (Comment #9)
Ek het dit ook dat die wedstryd op Markötter plaasvind. Dit sal baie welkom vir PRG wees – die meerderheid van hulle wedstryde is weg hierdie jaar.
@OudAffie (Comment #10)
Ek voorspel beide Affies en Grey omte sukkel die komende naweek. Daai laaities het mekaar behoorlik raakgery Saterdag in Pretoria, ek hoor nou nog die bene klap met die mediese helikopters op bystand. Hulle GAAN seer wees en die vraag is hoe vinnig gaan hulle herstel vir onderskeidelik KES en Monument en nie KES of Monnas is gimmies nie!
Affies playing KES this weekend, another trans-jukskei derby for us in JHB.
2023 A team scores:
14A: AHS 28-0
15A: AHS 36-0
16A: AHS 41-12
1ST: AHS 43-20
KES as always has a very good side and in JHB will be very good. It’s going to be very hard as always, I think it will be a tight game this year.
Rugby History:
2023: AHS 43-20
2022: AHS 19-13
2021: King Edward School 18-10
2021: AHS 15-11

@Snelvuur (Comment #4)
Is die PRG vs Wynberg nie op Markotter nie? Op PRG se website word dit so aangedui? Hulle sou verlede jaar by Wynberg speel, maar toe is veld mos onder water
One change.
Clifton is playing Durban HS on Friday and not Suid-Natal
EGJansen’s heavy schedule just does not stop. This weekend Noordheuwel and then Waterkloof the next weekend. After that should be a well deserved break, but not really, as most of their players will be involved in Cravenweek.
@Snelvuur (Comment #4)
Oakdale vs Gim het ook potensiaal om n riller te wees
Boland Landbou vs SACS could be very interesting as well. One team fighting for a top20 spot, the other to remain inside the top20. But can Boland ever not be the favourites on the farm?
Really depends which Monnas pitches up in Bloem. I’ve seen them play well (against PRG) and dismally this season. If the right Monnas pitches up, it could be a cracker. If the wrong Monnas pitches up, it could be a mauling. Noordheuwel vs EG probably looks like the fixture of the day.
All 3 KZN games will be great match ups on paper and all should be tight…
Glenwood vs Kearsney. Both searching for a win.
Westville vs Hilton. Westville certainly impressed against KES it seems. Will they have gas in the tank to take on Hilton?
NW vs MBC. Old BOys Day for NW – what a game for this occasion. MBC had a break last week, NW with some momentum. Could NW beat them on their biggest day?
@Kantman (Comment #1)
The three local interschools in KZN should be good as well.
Also Milnerton vs Brackenfell
A number of tough encounters among the higher ranked teams to close out the second quarter …
Grey vs Monnas
Oakdale vs Paarl Gim
HJS vs Rondebosch
Wynberg vs PRG
Boland Landbou vs SACS
KES vs Affies
Noordheuwel vs EG Jansen
