@Djou (Comment #145)
Garsfontein, indeed has some quality players and they are currently flying under the radar and I say again, underestimate them at your own peril!
@Snelvuur (Comment #138)
Daar is darem n game voor Affies.
@Kaya 85 (Comment #142)
Riley is part of SA u.20 team!
About the “Prop”, he is from Pretoria, was recruited by Grey, and came back to Pretoria in grade 10.
Both the Garsies wing and no.15 played GK for the Bulls last year.
@Kaya 85 (Comment #143)
Yuvrah was at Garsies last year yes arrived at the start of last year already. And then yes proppies(luan) is the one who came from GC last year was under 17 last year when he came.
On another note…the Garsies leftwing Yuvraj George I think his name is…he was the Bulls GK wing last year…totally shredded defenses yikes…was he at Garsies last year? …and another Bere question
@Grizzly
@Djou and the rest of u guys…is ‘Proppie’ the same Luan (surname?) who arrived at Garsies last year from GC?…
I can’t keep track, but there are some very lekker Ironbone Props around, including Paarl’s Jooste ,die einste Proppie and my favourite-favourite frontrow Mr Meneer Sir Pratt of Oakdale wie trekkers kan skrum en/of ry en/of regmaak.
What happened to one of the best WP schools loosies…. Mr Riley Norton? Didn’t see his name pop up but haven’t really paid attention to the Varsity Cup players besides Alzeadon Felix at UJ and Chandler Green at Varsity College (at 15) …
@Snelvuur (Comment #128)
Yes I agree, which is why I didn’t mention Kent or Wynberg 7 (think his name is Karuhumbu?) as loosies. Think they’ll fall under locks for WP.
@Snelvuur (Comment #138)
Ek call bly met die tried en tested starting line-up, daai gooi jy die “returnees” van die bankie af. (Behalwe vir Truspe, sy engine sal gemors wees van die bankie af en slot is die posisie wat so ver meeste bekommer)
@Kantman (Comment #125)
Agree. Not sure whether kicking for 3 was the right call though in that wind. Also there could have been a number of penalties in the last minute (not rolling away, playing the scrum half, coming in from the side), but most refs struggle to make a game changing decision then, and even more so if you are local.
@OomPB (Comment #137)
Dit gaan interessant wees om die span teen Affies te sien. Soos ek verstaan, mag van die manne wat uit was reg wees vir daardie wedstryd. Maar gooi jy hulle net so in daardie wedstryd in? Of bly jy by die wat sover hulself goed van hul taak gekwyt het?
@JongMatie (Comment #129)
Ek hou van jou positiwiteit. Boishaai gaan nie weer so n afdag he nie. PRG moet eers verby Affies kom volgende.
@JongMatie (Comment #129)
Is JURENZO al reg?
@Snelvuur (Comment #134)
Sorry boss my bad..
@Smallies (Comment #131)
Ek weet dis glad nie die punt nie, en ek geniet hierdie comment elke keer, maar dis Jurenzo, nie Jorenzo nie. As you were.
Is daar nogsteeds bekerrugby in die Noordvaal
@Smallies (Comment #131)
Ai, ja, speel al amper bok.
@JongMatie (Comment #129)
Is Jorenzo al reg?
Ek kan ook nie sien wie vir WP vanjaar by die CW gaan stop nie.
Paul Roos behoort op n drafstap vir Boishaai in die Paarl te wen.
Beide spanne gaan tussen 3-5 spelers kort wees.
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #126)
Yep. At PRG there’s also still Kent at 7, who played Academy Week last year and GK the week before. Also Christian le Roux (who hasn’t played so far this year), but who was the outstanding loose forward at GK last year. I have a suspicion that they’ll try to move one or two of the bigger loose forwards to lock for CW to fit more loose forwards into the team.
MENLO/ KLOOF FINAL
@Snelvuur (Comment #105)
Wesi u19 this year so won’t be there. Milnerton 6, Neil, Kemp and Potgieter are the obvious picks for the 4 WP A team loose forwards. For the XV team there’s no shortage of competition either. Boishaai captain is a great fetcher, Gim 7 very athletic, entire SACS loose trio were excellent at Noord Suid. WP could field a 3rd side at Craven Week and still be competitive.
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #124)
Ek respekteer dit.
Aan die einde, bal afgeklap met geelkaart en dit lyk soos oop doellyn op video. Hou niks van die reël nie, maar dan is gesprek seker of dit strafdrie moet wees?
Telbord gaan nie verander nie, maar julle manne se stilte spreek boekdele.
@Kantman (Comment #122)
Ek kan jou nie antwoord sonder dat wat ek sê as suur druiwe of as slegte verloorder beskou gaan word nie. Ek laat dit maar vir die regte mense om dit te hanteer.
Ek is op rekord op hierdie blog al vir jare oor die skokkende swak skole skeidsregters wat gereeld blaas en bly wedstryde kry .In die Weskaap is daar een spesifieke persoon wat al jare so swak is en regtig nie daar hoort nie. Ek is nie duidelik hoe dit aangespreek kan word nie.
@Kantman (Comment #122)
Ek het ook die eerste helfte vanoggend weer gekyk. Halftyd was die strafskop telling 6-2 in Oakdale se guns. Dit is moontlik dat HJS se dissipline soveel swakker kon wees, maar dit doen nie baie vir die Plaas se reputasie nie.
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #91)
Ek het weer die wedstryd in detail gaan kyk – hoe is die drie wat 13 gedruk het aan die begin omgedraai na ‘n strafskop? Baie swak beslissing wat nog meer druk plaas op die plaas se tuisvoordeel bevoordeling.
Jeppe were fatally overconfident, arrogant…? Even after conceding 3 early tries, 19 – 0 down…their backline crafts a very good try but the wing’s ostentatious swan dive in front of the spectators tells you his tries are the only ones that matter?… their second try similar…then having taken 70 points, they get a consolation try – and well done for persevering lads – but the player holds the ball, goading the opposition for moments before dotting down….what? Rubbing their noses in it ..? I guess they feel they can score 4 tries against anybody. Let the negative 70 sink in.
Grey High defended aggressively and competently against Paul Roos, giving nothing away but the hosts were ruthlessly effective, hard-nosed and relentless…every try hard earned, the mud was an equalizer, that win was very well done.
@Roger (Comment #118)
Boys High made a lot of unforced errors too, their 9, 10 and 12 need to work a lot on their passing but if they do better there this team could be good…KES’ first 20 mins were impressive, the lads tried very hard to get that Noord Suid trauma behind them…but with more injuries piling up, it’s going to be a difficult Easter.
@Tang (Comment #116)
Rondebosch and Northwood at the festival – with Affies, Helpmekaar, Nordheuwel, Westville, DHS and return fixtures vs PBHS and Jeppe still to come – tougher and tougher – hopefully they start building some confidence and their injured players return! Again though, was a great result for Boys High. To come from behind and win it at KES is not easy. Got some big, powerful runners in their pack too! I think that is their first victory in Houghton since 2012.
@Tang (Comment #116)
Congrats PBHS, I was toggling between games and the celebrations at the end from the Candies was like they had won the World Cup! PBHS back? My Glenwood side jsut didn’t spark, I think undercooked. They surely should improve in the season and beat College in the return. We have a tough one vs Monnas, Milnerton (unknown force) and Dale.
@Roger (Comment #56)
That was a physical, bruising encounter! I’m pleased for Boys High. You are spot on. KES can’t keep blowing first half leads at home. It should be pointed out that this is the first year in many that KES have played such a tough set of fixtures before the Easter festival. To play Jeppe, Gim, Sacs and PBHS in a row is not easy. Two tough fixtures lie ahead in the next few days.
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #114)
Yea mate luckily opinions are like arseholes ne…every one’s got one ,in mine he was streets ahead of every single WP loosie lastyear …and we all know the value of a saru selection…its basically worthless….
@Smallies (Comment #103)
Well the 4 WP A-Side loosies all played SA Schools. Along with 2 loosies from the XV side. You can’t pick everyone
@OudAffie (Comment #104)
Ek is eintlik n PRG ondersteuner. Maar het n sagte plek en Baie respek vir die Paarl se skole.
@Smallies (Comment #109)
Potgieter.
@AbsolutMenlo (Comment #74)
Baie geluk. Moet bieg ek het julle vir n wen gehad. Geluk ook aan Kloof. Alles sal afhang hoe die Bere uit kom ander kant na Grey, Oakdale en Affies. Hoe ook al NV beter plek as laas jaar met Menlo terug.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #101)
Ek het genoeg gesien om te weet dat die Bul pak van Affies nie die Bere voor gaan boelie nie.Dis agter wat pla. Die bal moet by die agterste 3 kom dan is daar n kans. Al genoem dat Affies verdedig soos trojane, in close games gewoonlik die verskil.
@Snelvuur (Comment #105)
In my grey blou geraamde brille is Kemp die beste nr 8 in die WP en moontlik in die land ….
@Snelvuur (Comment #105)
Wesi u19 I think. #6/8 from Milnerton played last year allready and should play again. Some youngsters putting their hands up. Tough to choose.
@OudAffie (Comment #104)
Kon dit nie beter stel nie. Voor die wedstryd en na die NS was Paarl Gim meeste van die manne se no.1 skool in die land gewees en na een wedstryd word hulle nie meer so hoog aangeslaan nie. Histories loop Paarl Gim ook voor in wedstryde gewen so Affies was die underdog maar ek dink hulle het verseker gewys hulle moenie afgeskryf word nie
@OudAffie (Comment #104)
Twee baie goeie afrigtingspanne wat goed voorberei was met hulle eie wedstrydplan. Beide speel positiewe rugby en na hullr sterkpunte.
😂 daai is Gim ondersteuners se coping mechanism – gaan ‘n vriend daar nou kontak. Elke skool het maar sy eie een – Affies sukkel om games te kry, ander Pretoria spanne kry eers spelers na Affies gekies het, PRG is ‘n akedemiese skool wat baie sporte aanbied, ens.
@Smallies (Comment #103)
The problem is that there is so much talent in WP. Neill and Wesi are probably nailed on for 6 and 7 in the WP A team. Then it’s probably a shootout between Potgieter and Kemp for 8, with the other one probably on the bench.
@OomPB (Comment #96)
Moet nou nie jou eie span so laag vat dat jy beweer Affies moes maklik gewen het nie. Niemand kom Paarl toe en wen naby maklik teen Gim nie, inteendeel, niemand wen Gim enige plek maklik nie.
Affies het hul voorspelers baie goed gebruik in die reënige eerste helfde en Gim het gesukkel om hul gevaarlike agterspelers bal te gee. Affies het dus die eerste helfde goed gedomineer. Toe hou dit op reën en Gim het in die tweede helfde Muller en kie bal gegee en Affies byna disnis gehardloop. Toe begin dit weer liggies reën en Affies kon die wedstryd weer inpalm en het aan die einde uiteindelik ‘n drie gedruk.
Beide spanne se losskakels het skoppe gemis in die wedstryd wat ‘n wen kon wees vir hul spanne. Beide spanne het verskeie drieë op die veld gelos.
Ek dink dit beide spanne kan redes gee waarom hulle die wen meer sou verdien. En ek dink Affies kon aan die einde meer tevrede wees van die 2 spanne.
Maar moet asb nie afmaak dat Gim ooit ‘n underdog is as hulle minder goed speel as gewoonlik nie. In die moderne super skole era is daar nie n ding soos n swak Gim span nie. Niemand moes maklik teen Gim gewen het nie. Dink dit was kliphard tussen 2 top spanne.
In die week het ‘n Gimmie vir my vertel dat as Gim verloor word die rede dikwels gegee dat Gim maar n klein skool is met dames ook. En as hulle wen dan is Gim die klein skool wat bo hul vuurmaakplek boks teen seunsskole. Ek dink dit is bog.
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #102)
He should’ve been in the WP A side ,was spykered big time last year…you can agree or disagree but that is a fact he was the premier loosie in WP last year and proparbly best in the country…
@Smallies (Comment #97)
6 WP loosies made SA Schools last year…
@Grizzly (Comment #73)
Ek stem saam jou, Garsies vlieg so effens onder die radar en is hulle beter as wat mense dink….
@Strepie (Comment #86)
Ek het gedink Oakdale is goed die jaar, maar eks eerlik dat ek nie gedink het hulle sal HJS stamp nie, maar krediet aan Oakdale! en eks seker HJS se volgende teenstander gaan knor!
@OomPB (Comment #96)
Presies dit, Pieter Rossouw en kie is (amper) uitoorlê met 10 man rugby in die spesifieke weers omstandighede, Gym sou dit OOK baie geniet het om van agter af te hardloop, MAAR is nie toegelaat om dit te doen nie, so Gym is in hulle eie agterplaas in hulle eie (weers) omstandighede (amper) uitoorlê…gee krediet waar krediet verdien word…Affies was nie bloot net gelukkig nie.
@Meesh N (Comment #84)
Well done to the Candies! Its been a while since PBHS could put one over KES, especially in Houton.
@Bungee (Comment #94)
Van verlede jaar af al my gunsteling loosie in SA skole rugby ,hopelik word hy nie die jaar weer gespyker deur wiepie rugby nie…
@OUD ANKER (Comment #92)
Pieter Rossouw uitoorle met 10 man rugby? Dit was Gim se eerste taai game. Met daai heveelheid best moes Affies maklik gewen het. Grey Kollege sal dit genie om van agter te begin hardloop.
@Bungee (Comment #93)
Ja, bietjie simpel gewees. Sy gewese skoolmaats het hom definitief geteiken: in sy 10min op die veld is hy in die lug uitgevat, op sy kop omgedop en op sy kop getrap. Hierdie tipe reaksie is presies wat Grey wou ontlok. Hy sal hopelik leer hieruit.
@OomPB (Comment #88)
Gert Kemp is regtig n ster van n speler. Die WP se keuses vir Craven Week mag dalk moeilikste nog ooit wees.
@OomPB (Comment #88)
Het n paar keer dit oorgekyk, dit lyk asof hy (na hy verby die 90 getackle was en op sy kop getrap is) uitgeskop het en kontak gemaak het met die nek/ken area van die Grey 9.
@OomPB (Comment #88)
Op grond waarvan sê jy dat Affies BAIE gelukkig was teen Gym…? miskien het Affies nooit vir Gym die kans gegee om die bal wyd te speel nie…gee krediet waar krediet verdien word. Affies se afrigters het Pieter Rossouw en kie vandag (amper) uitoorlê.
@Kantman (Comment #89)
Stem 100% saam.
@Strepie (Comment #86)
Rondebosch se eerste werklike toets uit drie wat oorbly.
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #87)
Issie, jy vra dan vir Snelvuur (post 82).
Maar geen probleem. Ek dink Oakdale pak kan nie domineer word, jy moet hulle wyd speel. Almal dink hulle gaan moeg word, maar selfs Grey kon nie punte teen hulle aanteken in laaste 20 minute nie. Vat jou punte as jy kan, of druk drieë wyd. As jy beserings by agterste drie het is dit egter nie so maklik nie.
Dan is dit hou die bal en vat jou punte.
Het nou PRG vs Grey ook gekyk. Wat het die speler gedoen om die rooi kaart te kry? Die voordeel van die kaart het Stoffels op losskakel gebring wat die agterlyn net meer in spasie gesit het. Ek weet nie of daar n beter 8 as Kemp in SA skole rugby is nie. Die seun is n bondel energies en n yster. Grey High beter om niks te se oor hulle nie. Affies was Baie gelukkig teen Gim. Hul pak is goed maar hulle gaan sukkel teen spanned wat die bal lug gee. Grey Kollege gaan hulle pak gee.
@Snelvuur (Comment #85)
Sorry man het bedoel om vir Kantman te vra ( post 80).
Baie geluk aan Oakdale.
Koppe op aan die Boishaai manne.
Kom ons leer uit ons foute.
4 eerste keuse spelers (vleuel, haker, vleuel en slot) darem terug vir Rondebosch (weg).
Gaan dit nodig hê vir die ‘trippie’ Kaap toe..
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #82)
Ek verstaan nie heeltemal jou vraag nie? Ek komplimenteer juis HJS se voorspelers se poging teen Affies?
@Kaya 85 (Comment #13)
had a feeling Oakdale would upset HJS & that Northwood wouldn’t walk over Ville
Aggenee, Oakdale het seker beesmis op die veld gegooi
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #82)
Wat moes HJS game plan dan gewees het Snelvuur ?
OLD SCHOOL
Wonderlike dag vir skole rugby. ‘n Jaar waar min voorspellings met selfvertroue gemaak kan word (stem @grizzly).
Gim vs Affies was goeie vertoonvenster vir klipharde en eerlike rugby. Affies het baie diepte, maar Gim het manier om spelers te ontwikkel uit baie kleiner poel – Gim U18 B-D spanne het gewen.
Monnas wys weer dat ‘n rugby kultuur nie oornag verdwyn nie.
Oakdale sal nie die jaar geboelie word nie. HJS het nie die regte wedstrydplan gehad vir Riversdal nie.
PRG word eersdaags getoets – Affies, Gim, HJS teen 24 Mei.
Durbanville is besig om mooi te ontwikkel.
Grey kry Gim, Helpmekaar, Garsfontein, HJS, Affies teen 17 Mei.
Rondebosch storm voort – Milnerton groei mooi.
Geluk Stellenberg – mooi wen teen Wynberg!
Menlo – geluk dat julle nie toegelaat het dat mense julle definieer as atletiekskool nie.
@OudAffie (Comment #77)
Ongelooflike stel uitslae in die Bolandse modder! Baie geluk! Dis nogsteeds my droom dat Affies en PRG weer ‘n interskole op die been kry – van die min skole wat toe to toe met diepte kan gaan.
@Grizzly (Comment #73)
Ek stem gedeeltelik saam met jou. Ek dink Garsies gaan vir Affies bietjie moeilikheid gee – veral as Proppies bietjie chaos in die skrum kan saai. Dit was HJS se suksesresep teen Affies. Grey gaan ‘n groot toets van Garsies se belief wees – om vir Grey te wen, moet jy glo dat jy hulle kan wen.

@4×4 (Comment #68)
My opinie – die 2 Affie senters het baie goed gelyk, dalk beter as die eerste keuse senters.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #67)
Agree, Affies was all over Gim. Gim was the better team for 20 minutes in the 2nd half, but Affies again took control in the latter part of the 2nd half.
Gold vir Menlo en Waterkloof in NWU final. Geluk beide spanne!!
Well done Oakdale!!
Monnas is back.
Gars the team to stop in NoordVaal.
Geluk PBH!!
Baie geluk Affies!Ek het vroeg voorspel Gim gaan nie die jaar verloor nie. Ek hou daar by. Oakdale dark horse vir top 5,hou daar by. Die enigste ding wat my pla is hoe sterk is Paul Roos? Garsfontein speel Affies, Grey en Oakdale volgende…. Die blog gee hulle o/3.Ek gaan waag en se dis 3/3.Nie een van daai games is tuis nie. Wat my confidence gee is die verloor teen PRG op hul velde. Daai close game weg was massive… Al was dit n verloor. Dink die Bere is n op die dag span…. Monnas in n verwoestende bui. Geluk ook aan PBH, weet daai was groot vir die skool. Net n brawe man voorspel uitslae die jaar….
Goeie naand mnre ,ek het gese dat niemand n maklike game teen Oakdale gaan he nie ,Affies het guts gewys soos min na daai belaglikke scrum penalty,Grey is Grey almal wen teen hulle tot hulle nie meer wen nie,Jeppe ,my new second team dink ek het Monnas koors gehad…en ek het twee dae lank vis gevang, it was epic….
@4×4 (Comment #68)
En moet nooit te vroeg van skool laaities Springbokke maak nie. Affies se 2e keuse 12 en 13 (weens beserings) het die toekomstige Paarl Gym Springbok senters ge-humble…
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #69)
Ek het nou die game gekyk. Daai surfer stut van Oakdale was uitstekend. HJS het net n afdag gehad.
@OomPB (Comment #63) Oakdale het goed gespeel , was baie fisies. Hul verdediging was ook uitstekend. Boishaai het swak besluite geneem . Het baie keer nie pale toe geskop en punte gevat nie. Het hul kanse gehad en nie benut nie.
@Djou (Comment #64)
Om te dink dat affies vandag sonder hulle 9, 12 en 13 gespeel het het die spelers wat ingekom het hulle baie goed van hulle taak gekwyt. Dit was werklik ‘n wedstryd van 2 helfdes en op die ou en dink ek dat ‘n gelykop uitslag ‘n weerspieling van die wedstryd was. Ek dink die Onder 16 het op die vlug vasgesit want die span wat vandag opgedaag het, het kontra hulle natuur glad nie vir mekaar gespeel nie. Baie selfsugtige individuele spelers wat hulle die game gekos het.
@JeppeZimD (Comment #58)
Can’t agree with you that Gym was the better team. This game was an epic match and the final score reflects who the best team was….
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #48)
🥶🥶😭😭
@Wonder (Comment #62)
Was op pad om Helpmekaar te vermorsel toe die telling 41-15 was met 20m oor, toe torring die spel uit.
Maar goeie wen!
@Kaya 85 (Comment #54)
No, did not see that pic. Seems as it is e(pic). 😃
Affies is on the up. On the other hand, the one thing Affies always had was depth. No school in perhaps the world has Affies’ depth.
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #48)
Hoe het Boishaai dit reg gekry?
Fantasties Garsies, great wen. Helpmekaar is nie jou maat op hul tuisveld, great wen. Lekker wedstryd om te kyk.
@Roger (Comment #56)
Epic win for Boys High.
I recall watching Boys High win at Houghton in 1996, 18-17. Manfred Kali, K.E.S pivot at the time, in tears after the loss, John Smit causing mayhem in the scrums…
Apparently Dale won 54-5
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #48)
Wow. I do not see any of the top 5 teams ending up unbeaten this year.
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #35)
Spot on, bruv! Also, weather conditions not the greatest for running rugby. Even though its a draw, Gym were the better team
@Kaya 85 (Comment #55)
Everything happened, that wasnt in the Jeppe script…. lol. 70-24 to Monnas
CONGRATS BOYS HIGH
@JeppeZimD (Comment #49)
What.? Just.? Happened.?
@Djou (Comment #46)
I must say, I’m pleasantly surprised, Affies brought menace, purpose, and control. Did you see the one pic on social media with all the Affies lads on the plane…they went down there and made a big statement.
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #40)
You also called it…Can’t help loving those Oakdale titans!!
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #35)

Wanneer kom jou eerste rankings uit?
JEPPE VS MONNAS
Oakdale 28-Boishaai 26
AFFIES TEEN PAARL GIM
15A: Affies wen 25-24
16A: Gim wen 28-17
1ste span: Gelykop 16-16
*ek plaas al die tellings sodra ek dit bevestig het.
Mooi Affies!
Nooit tou opgegooi nie.
16-16.
Sorry Kaya, few would have predicted a draw.
But for 20 minuyes in 2nd half, Affies dominated with their pack.
Heartbreak for the Glenwood u15A, scored with 2 mins to go to lead 21-18, kick-off Glenwood knock-on and College collect, swarm the line and score, win 25-21. Small errors….College very lucky

This is the beauty of rugby. Outcomes unpredictable.
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #42)
Disagree. Affies will win
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #35)
Gim will win comfortably.
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #40)
Oakdale for sure formidable, especially at home. Will be a big game. Lets see.
Oakdale will always be favorites in Riversdale.If Boishaai can come away with a win it will be an upset on my books. Oakdale is a tough cookie at home!
@Roger (Comment #27)
That is proper good derby stats…Runaway one sided results is not good for any of the 2 schools.
@Snelvuur (Comment #34)
🤣💪🏻
I would love NW to continue their unbeaten run to date, but WV I think may hold just too much firepower. They will also be out for revenge after NW beat them on their Old Boys Day last year I’m dramatic fashion. Will be interesting to watch…
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #35)
I wonder what more it takes to win games lol. The game also does happen to be in Paarl
Think Affies are being underestimated here. I have no doubt they’ll win if they play their best game. BMT along with fitness are the only areas where Gim are superior, although sometimes that’s more than enough to win it? Time will tell
@Bungee (Comment #33)
Still the same team that played N/S.
@Snelvuur (Comment #31)
Any updates regarding injuries?
@boerboel (Comment #30)
Oakdale’s massive pack needs to show that they can play two halves of rugby. I’ve seen them drop off in the second half a few times – notably against Grey and Rondebosch. Especially visible in the scrums; and HJS has a powerful scrum this year (ask Affies).
@House Rugga (Comment #29)
Paul Roos by 33? Are you JongMatie in disguise?
@House Rugga (Comment #29)
hjs misssing 4 players due to injury- i think Oakdale

@Kaya 85 (Comment #12)
I agree with most of your predictions Sir@Kaya 85, but I think Affies and Helpmekaar will get closer…and I’m not so sure KES is that poor…50/50 for me on that one but I’ll go for the Candies as well but just…
KES VS BOYS HIGH
@wanza_15 (Comment #24)
Wanza brother we really need this one over the boys from Houghton, 2023 was probably our best chance in a while some said we’d do the double & we squandered it, hopefully this year we can get it done.
We seem to play much better against them at KES due to the narrower REDS field that allow our forwards to get over them in comparison to a big, wide Brooks field where they can run the ball a lot. Wish I had a free one but I’m playing club rugby, I’m the only BH old boy at Wanderers so I hope I’ll get to rub it in a few guys’ faces!
Backing you guys to do the job against Monnas, though I feel we shouldn’t write them off as they aren’t a bad side either.
Affies will square up at the front with Paarl Gim but that Gim backline is next level – that may very well be the difference.
Agree with most the predictions
I think Affies are good for 7 more points maybe, and my bias hopes we can put a bit more daylight on Monnas..
Pretoria Boys though, you feel this is it, after 11+ years to get it right vs KES, if Jeppe weren’t playing I probably would have gone to that one, but I have a free Saturday I will be in Kensington definitely!!
@Kantman (Comment #22)
All part of the fun having different perspectives. But Kaya’s predictions are always great to get the conversation going
@Gold (Comment #18)
Kaya the Brave calling it like he sees it!
Agree Affies vs Gim will be nailbiter.
Think SACS will take it though
@buitestaander (Comment #20)
Not from what I heard – Bishops maybe
Any news on the Paul Roos team againt Grey High? Injured players back?
@Henkies (Comment #11)
I think Ville will beat Northwood, just my feeling. Glenwood are a dark horse this year, if only they were playing Hilton and DHS to really see the right pecking order. They are coming in under the radar and a little under-cooked for KERF, hopefully not too undercooked in Maritzburra….
@Kaya 85 (Comment #13)
Mostly in alignment, but:
– Affies will be closer to Gim
– Landbou will beat sacs
(I think)
@Kaya 85 (Comment #16)
there’s a particular prediction you made that i sure do hope comes to life! but i will say i see Pearson beating the Selbornians, Northwood won’t win so comfortably against Ville & Oakdale won’t be a walkover at home!
Selborne 29 – 12 Pearson
Hugenote 20 – 29 Heidelberg Volkies (fast & furious)
Jansen 18 – 30 Kempies (EG still rebuilding)
Helpmekaar 22 – 44 Garsfontein (tough but fair)
Northwood 30 – 16 Westville (NW maturing)
Welkom Gim 35 – 13 Voortrekker (slow start but fast finish)
Hentie Cilliers 16 – 20 Witteberg (Oom Hentie onder die blesberg)
Charlie Hofmeyr 19 – 18 Strand (Nice outing for Charlies)
Cape and Grey predictions
Outeniqua 14 – 40 Grey (visitors win Loerie derby)
Oakdale 19 – 45 HJS Paarl (Pratt v Jooste equal but Boishaai win)
Wynberg 16 – 19 Stellenberg (Jade Brigade not in Berg’s shade)
Paul Roos 39 – 15 Grey High (too classy)
SACS 29 – 18 Boland Landbou (shouldn’t be surprised)
Paarl Gim 33 – Affies 9 (Meneer Muller en kie)
Milnerton 10 – 42 Rondebosch (outlast, outclass)
Predictions
Menlopark 18 – 30 Waterkloof (broedertwis)
KES 20 – 28 Pretoria BH (Reds recovery relapse)
Jeppe 32 – 30 Monument (sparks on the parks)
Anker 24 – Pietersburg 21 (home ground advantage…)
Oos-Moot 30 – 26 Eldoraigne (tough Moot ouens over townhouse toms)
HTS Middelburg 19 – 26 Transvalia (Valia is rowwer)
@Grasshopper (Comment #10)
Great summary Grassy. If this weekend’s game gets anywhere close to that 2013 battle it will be a great afternoon.
Westville v Northwood is also going to be huge- perhaps it will come down to home ground advantage giving Northwood the edge. Both packs look very capable so it could be which set of backs has more flair or which kicker has a good day. Great situation when it’s too close too call.
GLENWOOD VS COLLEGE
Played: 180
Won: 49 (27.22%)
Lost: 112 (62.22%)
Draws: 15 (8.33%)
Points Against: 2,976 (Avg 17)
Points For: 1,765 (Avg 10)
Biggest Win: 57-12 (2015)
Biggest Loss: 13-61 (1995) – I was there and it was horrific
Longest Winning streak: 15 games (2011 to 2019)
Longest Losing streak: 30 games (1947 to 1963) – my uncle was in that 1963 Glenwood side.
One of the best games of schoolboy rugby was played on College’s 150th Reunion Day in 2013 at College, Glenwood ruining the party, winning 44-40, with the score changing every few mins. College are the ‘north-star’ or pinnacle of KZN rugby, always respected and admired. Their massive BE does help with the extreme depth they have…
@Pine (Comment #8)
As I understand this Saturday’s games are postponed to the 26th, due to wet pitch conditions. The semi’s will however replace the finals, with the two semi-winners sharing the spoils.
NWU PRESTIGE PLAY OFFS
Glenwood vs College must be one of the derbies with the most games played before, must be 160+ by now, will dig the archives! Been green since 2000, but red, black & white past couple of years. Let’s just say it’s a derby that doesn’t get enough recognition or exposure…
@Rainman (Comment #3)
It’s going to be close …
@HSBR (Comment #4)
Menlo by 1
Zwartkop vs Marais Viljoen is going to be very interesting, Zwartkop still undefeated and seems to have a very good side.
First NoordVaal game Gars vs Helpies … Gars the big favorites and for the competition.
Oakdale vs HJS … my support is for the home team!
Is ons NOGSTEEDS besig met BEKERrugby..
Excited to see WK vs Menlo. Feel Menlo haven’t truly been tested thus far with the quality of opponents vs what WK have had to deal with and seems like Menlo has a good team after a few years of struggles
Big fixtures possibly ending within 10-7 points of each other:
Selborne vs Pearson
KES vs PBHS
WK vs Menlo
NW vs Westville (huge)
Helpies vs Garsies
WBHS vs Stellies
A few other big ones, but I don’t think they’ll be decided within 10 points.
I finally have a free Saturday…. so instead of tackling a long list of stuff i have to do around the house, im going to take a drive to PMB to watch College v Glenwood!
Wynberg vs Stellenberg
