Oakdale has once again extended invitations to a broad mix of spirited and proud rugby schools from across South Africa to participate in its renowned rugby festival in Riversdale, Western Cape. Adding an international dimension to the 2026 event, Cardiff and Vale College — a respected Welsh rugby academy — will join the three-match-day, strength-versus-strength programme, hosted in the festival’s characteristically welcoming holiday atmosphere.
