Interesting! We certainly have a very deep talent pool in SA.
Some useless information according to my stats.
101 schools providing 368 players for Craven Week. Average of 3,6 players per school.
11% of the schools providing 32% of the players.
48% of the schools providing 17% of the players (1 or 2 per school).
FS, Griekwas, SWD, Lions, Border all 5 or less schools.
WP, Bulls, Sharks, Leopards, Boland all 8 or more schools.
WP and Boland have 11 schools each.
After Grey with 19 players, Queen’s is at second with 12 players.

It is so true. Last year (2023) Hamiltons represented the southern portion of South Africa in the UXI u20 final. They hammered Maties and the other clubs down south. They lost the final against Tuks u/20 but those laaities could jol. As long as the guys keep on playing.

There is definitely a lot of talent at the smaller schools. When my lightie played for Wits four years ago, they used to hammer Randfontein by 50 to 100 points. So, I was very surprised to see that, after 7 or 8 rounds of the PGC this year, Randfontein have won all their games and are doing better than UJ, Wits, Pirates, Pukke, etc. The latter sides are dominated by players who once played in CW, or for SA u20, Lions, Lions u20, etc…so I was even more surprised to see that the Randfontein team is made up mostly from local guys. In fact, 9 were from Jan Viljoen and 4 from Riebeekrand. I have not even heard of those schools (my bad
) and they never feature in the top 50…and yet, they are producing a team that is beating all the fancied clubs.

@Pamos (Comment #5)
Yes I think you are right… a number of other schools could also be sniffing an opportunity
@OUD ANKER (Comment #6)
pls post a link, would like to read what Jimmy said
@OUD ANKER (Comment #6)
Het gelees nogal sinvol wat hy se ,veral Griquas en die Pumas wat nie universityte het nie ….dalk moet instellings soos CUT en TUT dit oorweeg om hulle te align met daardie twee unies….

Jimmy Stonehouse made a few very interesting (less complimenting) points on this recruiting/sponsoring/saving/helping/poaching/bursary of school boys by other schools.
@Kaya 85 (Comment #1)
I can put a lot of money on it that he won’t be at KBHS next year for this exact reason. He will be at Garsfontein or a Durban school.
@Beet-Will the Falcons Craven week team also be shown at a later stage?
@Kaya 85 (Comment #2)
Griquas tend to have good Craven weeks
The CW and AW teams have potential but i feel they might get blown away by the 5 or 6 bigger teams if their paths cross.
Kimberley Boys High has the GK tighthead prop…?!! Awesome news, hope he doesn’t get jacked by a Hilton, Bishops or DHS…so that we can imagine the re-emergence of another giant in KBHS…
