Western Cape schoolboy rugby will be at peak activity this Saturday, 12 March. The televised game between Paul Roos and Grey High (PE) will be an option for everyone to watch. However the live game for neutrals to get to must surely be Bishops versus Boland Landbou, while those close enough to Riversdale cannot go wrong by headingto the ground just outside the town to see the huge match between Oakdale and Paarl Gymnasium, which could go a long way to defining the Western Cape Top 5 this year.

@Tandem: As Forest Gump said, Shit Happens. Gim played a great game. Powerful pack and more than capable backline. Havent seen Boishaai play this year yet, but I predict a thriller come August.
@BuiteBreek: What did I told you my friend ? I was just smiling when
some bloggers were predicting a 15 point loss for Boishaai . On what grounds ? And also suddenly no one rated Gym ?
@Ploegskaar: Miskien 1 keer teen mekaar en dan kan almal ingepas word
@Ploegskaar: As ons moet, glo ek kan beide nog 2 op die veld sit – o19E en o14C.
Wat die sogenaamde Premier A betref, dink ek nie daar is plek vir meer as 8 nie. Die seisoen is te kort. Die Engelse skole speel 2 keer teen mekaar en dan bly daar maar min Saterdae oor.
@Tierklou: Dankie Tier, het hom gekry.
Ploeg redelik seker ons het daardie 2 extra spanne.
@Tierklou: Waar is julle o14c span? Interessant, beide skole net 2 spanne kort van die minimum 14 om vir Premier A te kwalifiseer, as ek dit reg het?
@CharlesZA: Spesiaal vir jou.
A-veld
08:30 – o/15A
09:30 – o/16A
10:40 – o/19B
11:50 – o/19A
B-veld
08:00 – o/16B
09:00 – o/19C
10:00 – o/19D
11:00 – o/16C
C-veld
08:00 – o/14B
09:00 – o/14A
10:00 – o/15B
11:00 – o/15C
I think we might be the whipping boys in he Cape from the traditional schools in the Cape this year.
Janee, hierdie jaar is die spanne deurmekaar vir my. Oakdale sal nie verloor teen gim op die plaas nie aangesien hul n top 3 span het. Grey pe sal nie sommer vir pual roos in stellenbosch wen nie. Boishai en kwaggas het beserings so dit is vir my gelykop en my geld is op bischops. Sterkste van die klomp vir my, oakdale. Tyd sal leer……..
@Predator: Ag ou Preddie, jy weet wat ek bedoel.
Hierdie is een jaar wat ek nie dink mens te groot voorspellings moet maak nie. Dink daar is meer skokke en verrassings in skolerugby die jaar, as in Varsity Cup en Superugby. Kyk maar na van die uitslae soos hulle al gebeur het.
@BuiteBreek: Is 31 /12 nie vermorsel in jou boek nie. So ” lekker ” afrikaanse woord wat in my rugby woordeskat gemaklik inpas. Egg on the face,…. verloor met een punt, nee wat ons manne kan ‘n verloor goed hanteer en kom altyd terug en vuur op al die silinders. Boyshigh gaan ‘n grootte wees Saterdag,..Kwaggas met 10 in my boek. Ek sal Oakdale die voordeel gee bo Gim, hulle het ‘n kookwater span hierdie jaar. Die rugby gooi rooi hier in die SuidKaap vanjaar,.. dis hoe dit hoort. Voorspoed vir die seisoen!
@Tierklou: Weet jy hoe laat watter games gespeel word? Wil graag vir n tydjie gaan maar moet na my 2jarige kyk en dink nie hy sal n hele dag daar maak nie.
@CharlesZA: Ja, sal daar wees van vroegdag af.
@Toffee: Although local derbies are always tough, I think this Wynberg team is a special side and will be right up there this year – I think they will have way to much in the tank for Rondebosch
@Pinotage: Sover ek dit het is dit 14:05 op SS HD en SS 1..Komende Woensdag om 18:15 is die eerste Magazine Show op SS HD en SS1 oor Saterdag se wedstryd.
@BoishaaiPa: Hoe laat is die PRG vs Grey wedstryd op TV? Wil net my voetwerk regkry.
@Tierklou: You going to be at the game?
Het al 5 Grey PE wedstryde gekyk vanjaar….Baai se manne op volle sterkte sterkte sal PRG laat swaar lewe maar daar is op 2 posisies erg beserings. ….egter baie spoed agter en druk mooi en vinnig….Nog geen PRG gesien vanjaar maar my bronne beweer Prg speel maar met sy ou streke…..bv…..gaan nie met beste skopper op nie….ruil skakelpare om…ruil senters om en ruil voorrye om en speel spelers uit posisies ….die eerste 15 het nog nooit vol wedstryd gehad nie…hoop maar dis proefnemings……daar word ook gesê dat hierdie PRG span,as die sterkste span speel,hulle moeilik geklop sal word….minimum 4 posisies waar Prg beste spelers in die land het……sterkte jongmanne en laat die testos hierdie week die pragtige maroonskool laat lewe….gaan duim vashou vir ‘n maroon wen en geen beserings aan albei kante……
Tygerberg vs Stellenberg = Clash of the Northern Suburbs.
With my team playing out in George I will also be at the PRG vs Grey game for PI.
Nog n tawwe vir Gim. Dink hulle gaan hard terugslaan na die onverwagse verloor. Sien uit na die Paul Roos vs Grey PE interskole. 8)
I will be heading to watch the Rondebosch/Wynberg game (anything to take my mind of the dire Stormers). I think as usual it will be a close game. I will also try to get to the under 14 game to see what talent is coming through.
@Tandem: Like you said its unpredictable. And Gim beating Oakdale comfortably? Not to sure about that one. Someone else used words like “vermorsel” on another thread and ended up with egg on his face. (sorry)
But only time will tell. Looking forward to watch that game. And Boland and Bishops? That is a tough one to call.
I back our boys to get the win against Grey High this weekend,but have a sneaky feeling it might be a bit smaller than the 15 point prediction.paarl gym & paarl boys have very tough away games against tricky opponents . I’d back Bishops to get the win simply because of home advantage & the little bit I saw at Newlands Day recently.
I also think that the prediction of Paul Roos over Grey High by 15 points is too much. I think it will be a very close game. Oakdale will be a tough nut to crack this year. Very good u/16 group last year coupled with a strong grade 11 (2013) group.
Rugby is such an unpredictable sport and although we will obviously have to wait and see I really believe Boishaai may just do better than your prediction . The Boishaai team has been very hard hit by injuries to star players but the team will give everything and if the score does not go Boishaai ‘s way then it will not be for a lack of trying . I also think Gym will beat Oakdale comfortably . Bishops vs Landbou will be the one game which is very tough to call .
