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)
You called it.
Selborne 40-13 Pearson
Queens 51-12 Stirling
Dale 26-5 Ooskus
Graeme 33-0 Port Rex
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #40)
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
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #43)
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
11/12 APRIL PREDICTIONS

@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
