Sien die Bere speel Grey en Oakdale Bulle op Wildeklawer😳Garsfontein as julle nog budget het is dit nie te laat om te koop nie. NS perfekte venue. Hoekom ek gaan kyk het en wat my pla is wanneer laas het Garsfontein teen Gim gespeel. In die ou NS was dit elke 2 de jaar.Dodge Gim die Bere? 🤔🤣
I wanted to rearrange the fixture list with the favourites to win first, but there are some very tough matchups to call.
PV should win.
SACS vs Welkom Gim – I want to say SACS because the Gimmies have a young team, but they are battle-hardened.
The Kwaggas have been the surprise package of 2025 so far, and I expect their winning streak to continue against the Parkies.
BL has yet to produce a convincing performance, but this is a weaker 2025 Jansies team. This would have been an excellent matchup in 2024.
Durbies vs Monument could be interesting. The Witbulle will want to bounce back after the painful Grey defeat, but the margin might depend on which Durbies team pitches up. If it’s the one in the mood for a battle, this won’t be smooth sailing for Monnas.
Affies are the number one ranked school coming into the season and are a very powerful team. The Donkies had a good outing against Paul Roos, including a disallowed try for a slight forward pass at the end of the first half – a move that showcased how lethal they can be from deep. But PRG made plenty of handling errors in that match, which destroyed their own continuity.
HJS has been flying under the radar so far. I suspect a big win over a credible Klofies might make people stand up and notice their high aspirations, even though it’s still early days.
KES did some good things against Jeppe in that epic match last weekend, and at least they don’t come in cold like they did for the big game against Grey at NS in 2024. However, with a capital H, Gim is a tsunami of structured forward intensity, while their backs contain one of the biggest X-factors in SA SBR this year.
Ek kan nie glo hierdie toernooi het so groot geword nie. Ook nie dat die Kaap hom gekaap het nie😭Dis net n joke! Elke 2 de jaar maak dit net meer exclusive. Bly die Enelse skole van die Noord is daar. Kort net vir PBH maar glo dit sal binnekort gebeur. Sterkte vermaam aan al die spelers maar ook almal betrokke. Let the games begin!
Sterkte aan die Blou Trein vir Noord Suid.
Weet julle manne sal ons trots maak!

Ek het nie die Mali foundation games in ag geneem nie.
Is hierdie wedstrydbepalings nog reg vir die Suid-Noord toernooi?
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #24)
Sorry I don’t know what happened to my comment.
It was a good win for SACS for sure
@beet (Comment #23)
Beet?
@Buthelezi2
Apparently SACS u17s beat Grey Kollege in 7s this past weekend😳.
Signs of a promising team next year? Look forward to their games at Noord Suid 2025
GREY/JEPPY

Interestingly Jeppe vs Grey College was also an initial fixture on the Wildeklawer 2025 list. This now has to be changed.
@wanza_15 (Comment #18)
Did the Jeppe boys enjoy the beach after the DHS game?
I wonder if this re-match vs Grey was a mutual agreement, or was it more a demand from Grey. I’ve not known the exact same game to happen at a festival 2 years in a row, especially considering Paul Roos or Gim aren’t on our annual fixture list either, I predicted with my mates that after what I saw as far as our fixture selection in 2024 was in HJS and Grey, next year would be Gim and PRG (or something).
I suspect Grey REALLY want to settle the score.
Alas, we will be there, and they will get their rematch. We will fight.
On paper, Grey’s u16s very strong, pipped only by PRG I believe? Ours came something like 20th.
This 2024 1st XV also had a lot of matrics for us, I think only 3 survivors for next year. I’m not sure how many grade 11s are in the Grey 1st XV? If someone could assist.
We had a lukewarm 2nd team with a lot of grade 11s so it is going to be very tough from a Jeppe perspective.
I disagree with Kaya. I think if Grey have their sights set on the game and are in bed by 8pm then we are in trouble. I think to win these kinds of games, the game is won before getting on to the field (opponents had a late night, underestimated opposition, maybe a beer even or 2 etc etc)
If they take it personal, we lose, that is Grey after all, the mecca of rugby on the world.

Ek vermoed die kalender volgende jaar speel ‘n groot rol.
28 Maart tot 7 April is vakansie en Noord-Suid.
Twee weke later is Paasnaweek en Easter Tournaments.
28 April tot 4 Mei is weer ‘n week vakansie en Wildeklawer.
Agt weke later is Junie vakansie, wat 2 weke later as in 2024 begin, en eers 21 Julie klaar is.
Very exciting to see Sacs and Rondebosch there as they both should have strong teams next year
@TJ (Comment #13)
The Cape teams have been doing that for 10 years ….
@SO (Comment #12)
It’s the cost of Noord/Suid that is scaring away the boys from the Last Outpost. Flights from the Land of the Zulu to SlaapStad aren’t cheap by any stretch and now try and pay for 50 return tickets plus transport from the airport plus accomodation for the weekend makes the eye water a tad.
@Bloktrui (Comment #8)
Maritzburg & DHS het vorige jare gespeel, nie seker hoekom hulle nie meer daar is nie
@Kaya 85 (Comment #9)
Grey will be training with a wet ball from now until March next year 😂
@Kaya 85 (Comment #9)
The tournament is only a reputation builder for them as anything good that happens will only enhance their reputation. I don’t believe that with those fixtures anyone can look down on any result that would occur for them.
Jeppe / Grey rematch will be so interesting…don’t write Jeppe off. Grey must not approach that game as a chance to set the record straight or a grudge or anything like that..that would play into Jeppe’s hands. Grey must just play rugby…
Both Jeppe and KES being involved in this tournament is just great…KES v Gim …mouth watering.
Noordheuwel?? What are you guys expecting from those 2 match ups…yikes, that might be biting off a bit more than they can chew…
Enige rede waarom daar geen skole van KZN deelneem nie……ek weet dit is NOORD/SUID , maar Diamantveld en Duineveld is seker ver genoeg WES dat daar dalk iets uit die OOSTE ook kan wees?
@BoschBoy (Comment #5)
). Tyrrel Myburgh, I think only played the next year. Anyway, congratulations on your school’s great 2024 season. Institution of excellence. By far my favourite CT school.
Have a look at the PRG vs Grey record score article here on SBR, Bosch gave Grey quite an Altius et Latius beating in 1964. During Mr. Murison’s (RIP) years as headmaster at Bosch, circa 1987 I think, Bosch lost to Grey College by 5 if I remember correctly. Andrew Gardner played hooker for Bosch (Paarl Gim’s old Bok Morne” Visser aka Pluksel kept him out of Craven Week). Gardner was one mean, superstrong ginger mongrel, Andrew Steer played flyhalf/center (I think SACS’s James Wiston and PRG’s Thomas Barlow kept him out of WP Cravenweek), Butch Buchanon, the surfer also played, Tony Steward the King of Canigou played, then there was that super center, jogged past their holiday house earlier today (it is shit when you get too old to remember your own holiday mates’ names
Grey PE pitty they not there leading school in EC for many years best ranked in 2024 season next year going to have a real nice team hope they make 2026 group.
Really excited at the prospect of Bosch playing at this!
Nice to play against Nelspruit and also Jeppe, who scored a last minute winner against us at an Easter festival in 2022 – time for some revenge hehe? ;)
Would’ve loved to see us take on Grey College though, what a unique and amazing fixture that would’ve been for the boys from the Cape! Don’t recall if we’ve ever played them before…at least not in recent memory.
Grey College have not stopped calling us since Noord Suid. Heard our MIC had to change his phone number😊🤭.. sigh..
Alright Grey, here’s your re-match.
Surely we can’t win again?👀
Is Duineveld/Diamantveld/Voortrekker nou Noord of Suid?
Affies vs Boishaai and GF vs PRG always great at N/S.
GCB vs Jeppe 2.0 (Hope Jeppe is ready, bet Grey cannot wait for this one).
Noordheuwel signed up for a massive couple of days!
Jeppe vs Rondebosch and KES vs SACS, awesome for SA SBR.
Excellent news to see Rondebosch and SACS will be participating!
