March 2026
Garsies vs Jeppe has become a March regular. The Bere have won all three previous meetings, but each was tight—by 4, 6 and 8 points. Jeppe’s 10 returning 1st XV players boost their hopes, but Garsies remain one of the country’s top sides.

I really need to get a life because this is 95% of what I predicted. There is just the 1 name I have never heard of (7 Ross)
I am pleasantly shocked at 4. Blake Esbend and 6. Kuhle Shitlangu
Kuhle, the charge down and run away try hero at KES last year I thought was in matric in 2025!
And then Blake Esbend is a big boy (at least by Joburg English school standards) and was in the u16 Grant Khomo team back in 2024, and then I heard or saw nothing about him since. I thought he had quit rugby or had been badly injured or even that he might have left the school. Then thats 11 returnees Mr Beet 🙂.
@PietPompies, @Wonder, I am falling on my sword! Smash and grab on Die Garsies Bere! JEPPE, BY, 11!
SS Schools, disappointingly look like they don’t have the game scheduled for streaming, might have to make the trip to Pretoria myself!
