@Rhino: I think there are a lot of sore bodies at Kearsney at the moment. Westville have put out their strongest team in both games so far. Tomorrow will be an opportunity for some rotation and game time for boys who have played little over the last few days. That could freshen it up but could also be a bit disruptive. Selbourne will be tough to beat. I am sure the boys will give it their all.
Looking forward to a great day.
Whats your thoughts on the matches tomoz at KERF ?
Westville v Selbourne.. any thoughts and predictions?
@Westers: I do think that the EGJ attack was a little one dimensional though. The first intercept try was always going to happen – the EGJ backline were playing the same pattern over and over and the opportunity for the intercept was probably identified very early on.
@GreenBlooded: On the Glenwood game, after 20 minutes I was saying Glenwood would not be able to hold on. The tackle count at that point was very high. How wrong I was. I don’t think I have seen a schoolboy side defend like this before. They were awesome. The match report might say several intercept tries. But they were not lucky tries. They were created by massive defence. Well done Glenwood. A great game to watch.
The only negative was the coaches allowing Jaco back on to the field. Hope he recovers properly and is not ruched back. Glenwood have a long season so they must give the boy a break and time to recover.
@GreenBlooded: I have to single out Braithwaite. I thought he was fantastic. Great playmaker. He is carrying a huge weight on his shoulders as captain, kicker and playmaker. Although I think the coaches should have brought the subs on earlier, it shouldn’t go unnoticed that the game also changed when he was moved to flyhalf near the end.
He did miss a couple of kicks and made the pass that led to the intercept but with all that is expected of him you have to accept that he will make the odd mistake.
I said right from the start of the season that he should be kept at 9 and I think I have been proven correct.
He is going to run the other KZN scrum halves close for the CW team.
@old timer: Couldn’t agree more.
KZN sides putting down a marker, maybe a better Craven Week ahead! I see Hilton gave us another Grogper point :-)
@old timer: Westville were absolutely awesome today. I would go so far as to call that a win for Westiville – given that everyone, myself included, predicted doom and gloom. They obviously had set themselves a task for today and rose to the occasion in spectacular fashion. Thomas and Meilhon were outstanding at the breakdown and carrying the ball up while the No 12 was outstanding on the run with ball in hand and on defence. Actually – it’s unfair to single anyone out. Every single guy put their bodies on the line today. Grey must have been very nervous toward the end. Well done Westville – you showed real character today.
@Bonthuis: just watched a great game of rugby 20 each with 5 mins to go and then two quick tries to seal the game for Grey – one intercept and the second one just ran out of defenders . Westville played themselves to exhaustion and unfortunately when Grey used their bench tactically the Westville coaches naivety came into play and they simply did not react to their players fatigue with the result that we conceded two late trys ! Well played boys you did us proud !.
@Jordaan: yes Jordaan, when I dis College I’m an idiot when I support them I’m a bum chum, grow up!
@Roger: Same old, same old on this blog, KES winding up the College guys and this guy Grasshopper who wants to be College’s bum chum chiming in!
@Westers: Glad they are back to winning ways, they will do well to keep the score against Grey to under 40 points. This Grey side would give any KZN school at least 30 points.
@Gungets Tuft: ad hominem – don’t swear at me bru
@Roger: Bru, it’s not advice, it’s a point of view. But if you directly ask me a question, in an ad hominem way, then you’ll get a response. I will restrain myself in future.
@Lindenpa: That is what everybody said about Bishops vs Glenwood. I heard the Glenwood pack just squeezed them out…maybe Wynberg are far better than Bishops, lets see…
@Lindenpa – sorry about that. I can see they are playing on Monday and not today. Good luck against Wynberg today.
@Gungets Tuft: cheese and rice – get over yourself Gungets! Aren’t you always telling everyone never to argue with pigs – something about getting dirty? As my elder and better (obviously) – I’ll take your advice
For the umteenth time, Wynberg and College ARE NOT PLAYING EACH OTHER TODAY! ONLY ON MONDAY!
in any event, I saw both teams on Thursday and based on the performances on that day Wynberg should beat College comfortably.
@Grasshopper: In KZN this year, we know that the 2 sides to beat are College and Glenwood. In the recent past, College have been very ordinary but this year’s lot are going to be right there at the top. My call will be home wins for both when they meet.
Today, College to beat Wynberg by 10. Glenwood up against it. Their sternest test of 2014. Westville have a mountain to climb and KC /Dale game, a recipe for good running rugby. Both teams searching for their 1st win.
@BoishaaiPa: Nee jys reg daarmee,is net lekker vir ‘n slag dat ons skole almal goed doen. Ek hoop ook hulle kan dit volhou in die toekoms en dat dit nie ‘n eenkeer in 10 jaar gebeurtenis is nie. Moet darem se Garsies volhou dit al vir die 2de jaar en so gekyk na hulle junior spanne lyk dit asof hulle nog lank daar gaan wees. Affies sal altyd daar wees.
@Roger: Absolutely fine, thanks. I take it that you think it’s fine to act like that then, circumstances dictate how the game should be played and watched?
@Gungets Tuft: how’s the air up there atop your soapbox?
@Gungets Tuft: College don’t do ‘dream’ teams they just do College teams…I wonder why some bloggers refer to this years side side as ‘dream’ team. Wynberg are pretty good, watched them a week or so ago, lots of ‘dream’ players. College just need to stay down to earth and positive, anything can happen!
@BoishaaiPa: Jy stel dit te sagkens, van hierdie swaeltjies het ‘n droomspan eenkeer elke 5 jaar, die groot kanonne het ‘n afjaar dalk eenkeer elke 5 jaar, Grey Bloem miskien eenkeer ‘n dekade.
@boxkick: So what is your qualification now, the rugby strength or the demeanor and manners of the boys? Anyway, no Monnas on that list, and some of those mentioned have fallen seriously by the wayside or are lucky to have a decent team maybe once every 5 years. Maybe you are not that familiar with the Boland culture, on and off the field, so visit the Farm for a game to enlighten yourself, and you need not look further than the respect they are accorded by all opposition before games and the satisfaction after someone had beaten them to know that they are a proper rugby school. Well that and the the fact that they only offer rugby as a winter sport and stick up to 19 teams on the field every Saturday, and that from a school with only 340 learners.
Ek sou darem nie heeltemal se dat Helpmekaar maklik gewen is soos die telling aandui nie. Wynberg het n onderskep drie gedruk, en Helpmekaar was 2 keer oor die lyn , waarop hulle nie die bal kon druk nie. Wedstryd was gekenmerk deur taai fisiese konfrontasie. Wynberg sy kanse goed benut.
@Roger: Dream Team??
@Roger: The story is not a out cricket, but if its importan to you, I don’t like it. The best don’t need to sledge. Suggest you watch “Fire in Babylon” …
Acting decently and sportsmanlike might be boring, but I generally don’t let the behaviour of others affect the way I behave, I believe it’s called “principle”. Perhaps it’s my advanced age, I like to think its still valid. Me, prefer to be boring then.
Perhaps the taunting helped win a match, or got the players and spectators some sort of satisfaction, but at what cost. Clearly it won you over, so job well done?
@Parkie: Miskien moet jy bietjie google maps probeer…Selborne is in Oos-Londen. Dis n streek genaamd Grens…Marlow en Grey PE val in die OP…Outeniqua is in SWD…Boland en Gim is in WP…4 verskillende CW streke….Dis nie Kaapse spanne nie…net 2 is. Maar ek is bly julle doen goed, dit is goed vir SA rugby..hoe meer skole presteer hoe beter vir die toekoms. Hoop net die trend kan volhou word en dat die manne wat nou so baie te se het oor n paar jaar nog steeds kan saampraat. Dis maklik om jou beuel te blaas as die orkes lekker liedjies speel…gaan die asem hou as hulle van noot af raak?
@Tang: @Roger: Wynberg and College are not playing each other tomorrow, only on Monday. The first game tomorrow is between Wynberg and Linden. College are playing St Andrew’s tomorrow.
@Gungets Tuft: you can’t always occupy the moral high ground Gungets – it’s boring. How do you feel about sledging on the cricket field? In my opinion if you dish it out you must be prepared to take it to and the Grey boys were definitely dishing it out when they were 16-3 up!
@Tang: agreed – I will definitely be watching that game tomorrow – Wynberg look shit hot and will be a good test for the College dream team
Ek dink die krag is besig om te verskuif na die Noorde van die land,Affies (wen Selborne),my Parkies(wen Paarl Gim en Grey PE),Waterkloof,Garsies(wen Boland Landbou en Outeniqua) en Eldoraigne(wen Marlow) is besig om lekker stem dik te maak na gister. Sien uit na ‘n goeie Cravenweek vir die Blou Bulle! Lekker baie talent om van te kies. Die Kaapse dominansie is aan die taan. Nog net daai bleddie Grey Bloem wen! Maar dis makliker gese as gedaan.
Ten einde laaste kan ek my terugkeer maak op ‘n wennoot,wel gedaan my Parkies.By hook or by crook het ons 2 top skole se kopvelle in die sakkie. Net op ‘n ander not,ons 12 was eintlik van gr.8 af by ons maar het ons vir ;n wyle verruil vir rugbman se mense. Hy is nou terug en dit was na bewering die ouers se besluit,nie omdat hy ongelukkig was by rugbyman hulle nie,inteendeel was hy baie gelukkig daar,maar dis maar hoe dit gaan en laat bygons be bygons.
@Roger: I have difficulty sympathizing with any school who have a player who directly taunts another player and a crowd of supporters that chirp a coaching squad. No high ground there at all, no matter what the “provocation”.
@Tang: Agree, going to be a huge game, if I was in Chunnisbeg I would be there. Not often College play the WC teams, so one for the list. I am not one for predictions but I think it’s down to the wire.
@Rugbyman: Ou Rugbyman die lewe loop met jou draaie wat jy nie altyd wil loop nie. Maar ja weer regop en reg om te loop.
Maar hy het die sewe soorte waks uit Grey getackle. 2 Sekere driee gekeer. Se nog die beste binnesenter in sy ouderdomsgroep in die groter Tswane.
Die cockiness van GreyPE nie so nie. Shirley het vroeg in die game opgemerk as die Menlo seuntjies nie almal hul asem ophou om die borskas groter te laat lyk en die waartlemoene laat val onder die arms dan sal dit beter gaan.
Persoonlik dink ek die game het gedraai toe Grey se 10 sy skoen verloor het, en toe die 2 van Menlo vervang is. Hy het gesukkel om sy springers te ving. Toe die lynstane begin werk het Menlo se drywe begin werk en kom hul Grey fisies domineer.
Die 12 van Menlo kom van Rugbyman se skool af, sal seker nog sy wingat houding verloor.
@boxkick: I only have one word for u… SNOB!!!!
@Gungets Tuft @Red Black and White
How about the match tomorrow MC VS Wynberg at the Saints festival. This will be one of the highlights of the weekend.
I think this will be MC’s toughest test to date.
Wynberg beat a good Helpmekar team and they gave Bosch a hiding last weekend. If MC are going to be top 10/15 I reckon they have to beat Wynberg tomorrow.
This match could be well worth the trip to Saints tomorrow.
@Woltrui: Open teams:
Grey Bloem, Garsies, who is still undefeated in 2014, offcourse. Menlopark with good wins over Paarl Gim and Grey PE.
@ ploegskaar – look, I knew if I left some names out I would get this type of question…on those two one can go back and check the history, they have always, year in and out, been there or thereabouts…but compared to guys like I have mentioned they simply don’t, for me, fall into that same category, I would put them with an EG/ Waterkloof and the likes…Let me also say, I don’t have something against the EG’s and Waterkloofs or Garsfonteins of this world, but simply put the ones mentioned among others are just a different world…experience it and then come back to me and tell me I am wrong…
U/14’s: Top dogs look to be Grey Bloem, Bois High, Boland Landbou and Affies
U/15’s: Did I hear correctly? Did Outenikwa win Bois High?? That would be a big surprise. After Helpmekaar’s big win over Garsies yesterday they must be one of the top U/15 sides in 2014. They also won one of the top U/14 teams from 2013, Affies, earlier in the season.
Top dogs:
Grey Bloem, Helpmekaar, Affies, Bois High ????
Open teams: Wynberg must have a strong side if they won Helmekaar as comfortable as bloggers suggest. Could be the surprise package of 2014??
Top dog: Grey Bloem, ???
@boxkick: Would tiny Boland Landbou qualify as a Big Small school or a Small Big school, just wondering? Same goes for Oakdale Landbou I suppose.
@rugbyman – all of the big schools…affies, gcb, grey pe, prg, paarl gym, boys high, glenwood, m college, queens, Hilton, m house….once you have been to see them play, how their people support and behave and how the kids conduct themselves you will be surprised imho…but try and explain that to someone who comes from a SMALL school…
@Roger: roger, one of the boys actually got lost on the campus, couldn’t find the change rooms and that’s what made the boys late. Shouldn’t they have waited ? Greys war cry is the only pre match ritual and that takes all of 20 seconds so I don’t know if you added that to the time everyone waited.
@Roger – Based on what I have seen so far, I seriously think the weights and heights supplied by some of the boys is way out.
@boxkick: and who suddenly made you the god of schoolboy rugby? Mr know it all… may we have honour of knowing which BIG school u are supporting?
@Tjoppa: my magties… onkruid vergaan ook maar moeilik… waaaaaaar was jy die afgelope 2 weke? Van ons het gespekuleer dat jy ontvoer is na somalie… ander het so gehoop…. maar hiers jy nou weer terug… moet ons jou welkom heet op n gepaste manier?
@ jakes…just one more thing…” how did they come within 18 points again the mighty Grey College ” in that statement lies the irony, if you are happy to come within 18 points of any opposition your priorities are in the wrong place boet…its should be devastating to loose a game…go check out when the BIG schools encounters a loss what the mood is like – whether the opposition is grey or some small school from a small town…its all the same…
@ooploop – you are correct, they are highly skilled, fast and world beaters…what happened to affies agaist waterkloof?
@ jakes…sorry but how many time have they won the beeld?
@ valke…my post relates to their performance this entire year thus far, the one going to 7s can only be the 15 who has been watches since under 14 and I agree that he is of good quality, his temperament needs some work though. I hope for 7s sake its not any of the others…I will certainly be watching the Glenwood and Kearsney games and will comment non the less. What do you two guys predict it to be?
@boxkick: Can’t comment of previous EG sides but this year’s team certainly is not one dimensional and slow
. They are a quality side with speed and variety – I watched their game against GCB and I was very impressed with this young team.
@Mike: maybe – but it’s not very sporting to keep your opponents waiting in the cold while you complete your pre match rituals. I’m all for tradition but do it with a bit of respect for your opponents. This clearly irked the Menlo boys and crowd.
@Roger: Roger, looking at the scores from day 1, all the matches seemed close afairs. Looking at the Eldoraigne Marlow score, it seemed a good match up. What was your take on that game
Menlopark seem to have a very good side this year. This time the Grey flyhalf could not save them like last week. Great win Paul Roos. Hopefully the dissapointment of last week is forgotten now!!
@Tarpeys: Linden’s first loss of the season and a bad game for them. They can do a lot better, they were totally dominated in the first phases and won very little of their own ball. The backline was always on the back foot and could never show the talent that they possess. With the little possession that Linden enjoyed, College should have won the game much further. The Linden players showed a lot of courage, this is a huge step-up for them and they are now being tested on a much larger stage. The experience gained at this festival will be to their advantage once the league starts in May.
Wynberg looked awesome against Helpmekaar. They won the game on a canter, their number 8 is a monstrous unit. Linden are playing them on Saturday, I hope we can show the same courage that we did against College.
@Roger: do you not also think that because Grey was televised last week, the Menlo Park side and the crowd anticipated cockiness from Grey, and therefore saw what they wanted to see.
@Roger: I wasn’t there so I’ll have to take your word for it. But from what you’ve written, it sounds like the only cockiness came from the Menlo 12 and someone in the crowd. Let’s also take in to account that after last weeks match against Paul Roos there was a price on Greys head. It’s difficult to play on the highveld when you’re used to this thick coastal air. I’ll make no excuses for Grey losing, like I said I wasn’t there so I can’t comment on performance. But it doesn’t sound like a Grey team to be arrogant. It sounds like they got beaten by a good side and there’s no shame in that. They’ll learn, they’re all still kids.
@Roger: Roger my feeling exactly. Those big tackles came from their 12. He was purchased from Garsfontein. The game was all going Grey’s way until their 10 starting missing goals and the try which 13 started in his own 25.
But everybody that was not KES missed a real gem. Hentie Cilliers against Trinity. Gentleman my hats of for the boys from Hentie Cilliers. Before the game waiting for Trinity the boys stood in a bundle singing and dancing. I felt sorry for the few white boys who obviously lacked the rhytm. But hell they tried
When Trinity eventualy came I felt sorry for the boys from Hentie.
And my did they get hammered in the first 3/4 of the match. But Henties spirit was shown in their attitude the whole game run run tackle tackle tackle tackle. Even the remarks when they were 13 – 27 down and time running out showed good spirit. The coach shouting we only need 3 tries boys just 3 tries. And then they started tearing the game apart. Hentie Cilliers my hats off gentleman. This is how rugby was supposed to be played.
And hell – there are some big units in those Grey and Menlo sides!
@Mike: poor form from Grey. They kept the Menlo boys waiting almost ten minutes in the cold – it took that long for them to get on the field, leave their mascot on the halfway line and finish their Riverdance routine. They were guilty of completely underestimating Menlo and were very cocky on the field – when the Menlo centre scored their first comeback try right under our noses he ran straight to the Grey fly half and told him “en nou grootbek – wat se jy”. After Menlo went ahead they tackled the living daylights out of Grey – one hit on their wing in particular brought the crowd to their feet. You could see that they wanted to win this game badly and chatting to their coaches afterward they felt Grey paid them little respect. It was summed up by someone in the crowd shouting out to the Grey coaches – “not so easy here on the highveld heh boys”
Having said all that Grey should have won easily – missed kicks and attitude cost them in my opinion. As a complete neutral it is obvious they are a very very good side but maybe they believe their own press too much
@boxkick: based on yesterdays performance, I can understand your comments.
I hope you watch the Glenwood and Kearsney games, and comment after those as well.
One of those backline players is joining the SA 7s training squad straight after Kearsney. I am not sure he or the 7s selectors believe he does not have any skills.
Well done Menlo Park. Clearly a very good side to come back in the second half. All the best for the rest of the season. Grey boys, keep your heads up. Long way to go this year, it’s early days.
@Boxcick-You say EG Jansen loose the majority of their games outside their league and have no skills.Please tell me how did they win the Beeld trophy in 2013 and how did they come within 18 points again the mighty Grey College who will probably be nr 1 in 2014. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about.
@pongola:Last game of the day at Francios Swart U/15: Monnas 17 Maritzburg College 7
@grasshopper – I seriously don’t understand why you rate EG Jansen so highly…IMHO they play a slow game consisting of mainly driving mauls from line outs…their backs are heavy and as a result slow, furthermore evident in the fact that when they come up against opposition outside of their usual Valke region or NuPower league, they somehow always loose the majority of their games. Any opposition worth their mention need to watch only one game to realise that without the tall guy with the white scrum cap they will hardly cross the gain line or win line out ball to drive with…one dimensional
see nelspruit 13 scored 3 tries
franscois swart u/15
kes 9-5 kempton park
helpmekaar 37-12 garsfontein
affies 27- 15 eg jansen
nelspruit 22-12 pretoria boys high
St Johns 20 – Nelspruit 29
St Johns were in this all the way. Glad to see they have come back so strongly after a troublesome season last year.
St Johns have some good players in their starting line up.
It is going to be very interesting to see who is selected to 8th man for the Lions CW team this year. St Benedicts have a monster at 8 and St Johns have a real class act at 8.
@Bulle: Dnki, nogal geïntereseerd in die o/15 Helpmekaar vs Garsfontein uitslag ?
@greybearded: Het net die volgende tellings:
Affies 27 EG Jansen 15
Seems the only close match-up at St Johns so far was PBHS VS the champions of Australia – Scots College.
Based on a few earlier posts, I thought Boys High were going to get thrashed by Scots College.
I expect to see many more mismatches at St Johns based on todays results.
Some huge score differences at St Johns today
Paarl Boys High 35 – 0 St Charles
Paul Roos 80 – 7 St Johns (Zim)
Waterkloof 45 – 19 Klein Nederburg
Pretoria Boys High 12 – 24 Scots College (Aus)
Jeppe Boys 28 – 0 Noordheuwel
St Johns VS Nelspruit to kick off at 18:45
@DieBos: Menlo beat Grey PE 17-16. Grey Bloem beat EG Jansen 26-8.
Anyone who might have watched the Grey vs EG match and can give their opinions? By the sound of it this match was always going to be a tough one.
Communications breakdown again. Its that flippin tent! Anyway, I believe a hard fought battle against a respected opponent- 26-8 for GCB
@Roger: Couldn’t agree with you more. Was like watching paint dry. Forwards must be getting really frustrated. NW need to get their act together.
@RBugger: Hey ya, was working….well done to Glenwood, seems it was similar to last year, won the 1st half then Dale struck back but the difference this year is the team is experienced so knew how to close it out. 31-17 is a good result, 5 from 5, a good start to the season. EG Jansen is going to be the acid test at KERF for Glenwood…
Final score for GC vs EG Jansen and Grey High vs Menlopark?
Any scores from Francois Swart u/15 festival at Affies ?
Seems like some good match-ups so far – good to see!
Eish
@Cappie: TJO!
the flood gates opened hey!
would Grasshopper not have said something by now – he seems quiet???

@Redblack White: You beat me to that question
@BoishaaiPa: Final score on the Glenwood / Dale game?
@Redblack White:
@Playa: @Roger: Whisper Whisper – hey guys – before the manne from up north get hold of you – the word is kak not kuk – nudge nudge wink wink know what I mean- say no more!
@Roger: When he coached the Dale side, Spilhaus used to make the 1st team do fitness after a kuk game…win or lose…remind him of that
KES 13 Rondebosch 3 … Kuk game
@BoishaaiPa: Caaammmaaaan BOYS!!!
Glenwood 19 – Dale 17 after 40 min..Big comeback by Dale after being 19-0 down!
@Playa: Dis beter!
Waterkloof 43- Klein Nederburg 21….Floodgates opened last 10 minutes!. Still surpized that KN could hold WK to 19 all at halftime. Did not expect that at all!
@Playa: That is a big win for Affies after the weekend. 2014 seems a very unpredictable season!
@BoishaaiPa: Eish! The Fish has fallen…now cringing for the Heron…I get a sense that the QC win is a bad omen for their brother schools in the Border.
Waterkloof 31 – Klein Nederburg 19
Galant fight boys!..
Affies 34 – Selborne 12 final score.
@Ludz: They can start their season alright, as long as they revert to the k@k position on 17 May, then start again the following week, I’ll be happy
Affies 29-Selborne 12
Affies 22 – Selborne 12
Waterkloof 19 all vs Klein Nederburg!..What a suprize!..Go you Paarl Boytjies!
Affies 19 Selborne 12 still playing. I left and found a tv to watch my eldest cause Selborne shocking at the start
@Roger: That’s a relief, hopefully the win is start to the season getting back on track, thanks Roger
@BoishaaiPa: Oh no!
Linden 14 – Martizburg College 29. It was my first time seeing College play this year and they had to work hard for this win. The College forwards were the difference. That is a powerful unit that will take some stopping in KZN.The loose trio was particularly impressive with Goodsen and Le Roux being very prominent in the game. The College back were off the pace and Guma was particularly poor. I was looking forward to seeing his much vaunted pace but it wasn’t there. In fact, he was burnt a couple of times on the outside. That was not a bad Linden side at all, in fact, they were a good side with some big boys and one or two flare players in their ranks. From what I saw today, College will be tough to beat this year.
Hilton 24- SACS 23 .Hilton were impressive here. They weren’t flash but very clinical. I was particularly impressed by their work at breakdown and in the tackle. SACS conceded a lot of penalties in those areas and could not achieve any continuity on attack. They did have a chance to sneak it at the end but the final kick of the game hit the upright and Hilton managed to hold for a well deserved victory.
Any update on Affies vs Selborne guys?

@Grassy: I would have thought that was the case as well, but looking at the stats on the HTS Middleburg forwards, they actually are smaller than Kearsney. They don’t appear to have a very big pack at all. Front row is all below 100kgs. The packs generally seem to be a lot smaller than last year interestingly.
seems like it was good game to kick off the festival. Hope the rest are as as exciting
Well done to Kearsney for fighting back! Let me guess HTS had massive forwards and were sucking the life out of the Kearsney pack..
