@Grasshopper: Like
@Cappie: Yes they do because some of them are mates from primary school days. I mean Kuyter and Joubert will both be fighting it out for the SA schools 15 jumper but they from the same area and primary school, I believe. Glenwood now has so many boys from the Pretoria area our boarding establishment probably play jukskei and sokkie in their spare time….plenty of braaivleis too…
@Grasshopper: Ag nee man, jy moan verniet. Wat jy daar wys is baie kompeterend. Glenwood is Affies se beste maats, en die tradisie tussen die twee skole is besig om in een van die grootstes te ontwikkel. Die seuns bou baie goeie kameradie. Affies se uitdaging is om Glenwood te klop in die hokkie, hetsy tuis of weg. Wat julle met die rugby wil doen is julle ding, maar ek kan jou verseker daai Glenwood seuns gaan Pretoria toe kom om te wen.
@Cappie: Yes, yes…..I get all the camaraderie, passion, ons is manne, ons is trots etc etc…….but let’s get real here, 101 to ZERO! That does nothing for both sides…..come on boys can’t you see that. It’s like the Boks playing the Vatican City or Monte Carlo at rugby……
Glenwood vs Affies 2013 in Durban; http://www.glenwoodhighschool.co.za/sites/default/files/vs%20Affies_0.pdf
Played: 25
Won: 7
Lost: 18
Points for: 237
Points against: 773
Avg score: 9-31
This might indicate as a school Glenwood is more competitive. However, Glenwood then needs to travel up to altitude this season to play Affies and we all know KZN schools don’t cope in the thin air very well so the difference is going to be even bigger. The boys are going up to Pretoria just to keep the scores down, pretty rubbish starting point to me…
We mustn’t forget we send our boys to school to get an education and my boy got a proper education in rugby on Saturday. I’m happy he’s learning
@Roger: Amen
@Cappie: will always be proud of them – they front up and play to the final whistle. As Vin said, great fixture and hope it continues . KES will have their day in the sun at 1st team level soon – but that will be forgotten too. What’s more important is the 325 rugby payers and 180 hockey players who trot out each Sat and represent their school with pride
@Vin: So in effect the scorelines are getting worse every year, maybe in 2015 it will be over 50 points per side. The same can be said of Glenwood vs Grey Bloem and Affies, especially away. The one year we got I think 4 centuries vs Grey Bloem. A complete waste of time in my opinion. I get making friendships and playing stronger schools to aim for higher etc but sorry, 100 points in a rugby game is a joke. At least in my day once the score reached 50 the game was blown early so the beaten team was not humiliated. Grey Bloem seem to love humiliating other teams at home……not sure what it achieves. I would rather that lower side play Westville or College again as at least the game is competitive. I remember SACS tweeting they had beaten some B league cape school 25-0 in waterpolo, again nothing to be proud of……let’s see how they would do vs Clifton or St Johns etc……
@Roger: Looking at the results, KES remains a very competitive school, and you can be proud of them. I once again want to emphasize that, although the difference in scores seems high, the difference in competition between the teams are much closer.
Affies Vs KES average scores.
2012 34 -7
2013 38 – 7
2015 44 – 4
As a KES old boy and parent I think the fixture is great, it is played in such good spirit…there is a great camaraderie which is being developed between the 2 schools which is priceless. In water polo KES beat Affies convincingly so should we stop playing them polo. Same as hockey although Affies has got stronger every year thanks to playing stronger schools.
@Grasshopper: meant only in JHB – and St Sthithians to a lessor degree. Can you imagine Saints vs Affies – eek
1st KES vs Monnas post should read 2013 as well as KES vs Menlo.
Problem is – these Afrikaans co-ed schools focus only on A team rugby (they dont have the depth) and the hockey is poor – I guess Dr Edwards is caught between a rock and a hard place. The neutral would love to see Affies play Menlo, Garsfontein, Monnas etc every year but imagine what Affies would do to those teams down the line – eisch
@Cappie: I will never forget the Bulls win against the Reds. Proves to me that sometimes it is all about the will to succeed and the belief that it can be done. If I remember correctly they needed a huge win to chip back points difference and thats exactly what they set out to do. My old man is a huge Bulls supporter, and much as I hate to admit it, you Bulls okes know how to win and even when you struggle are never far off from a win.

@Redblack White: I remember that very well, and the two games were played not more than a month apart. What about the 92-3 win of the Bulls over the Reds, and a year later they lost against the same Reds? Even a final can end up in a huge score. Bulls Chiefs in Super14 final a few years ago.

@Grasshopper: @Cappie: Interestingly scores are only valid for the day the games are played. Can anyone remember the 1991 senior rugby season. Natal klapped Northern Transvaal 54-15 in their Currie Cup first encounter only to be klapped by Northern Transvaal in the Lion Cup by a bigger margin 62-6 in the same year??? WTF? ( for the youngsters that means wednesday, thursday and friday and not the other thing you were thinking about
@Grasshopper: However on the other hand. The U14, 15 and 16 A, B and C games also had big scores, so where do you draw the line. It is like Grasshopper said, they know it is going to be tough, and they need to go out and give there best. Next Saturday, they will be again against more competitive opposition. We are deliberating on this, but I tell you, I have spoken to some of the Affies 10th team players after there loss of 85-0; they say it was their toughest game ever, but they enjoyed it, and it has to happen sometimes in your career. All part of the experience! They made some good friends.
@Cappie: Yep, staggering is the key when you have mismatches…..surely the headmasters can see there are mismatches now…
@Roger: Do you mean only JHB teams, because Glenwood, College and Westville can all put out up to 28 rugga teams and 16 hockey teams on the day. That is why I always punt for a Glenwood vs KES fixture all the time, not because I want to irritate you or KES bloggers, because it makes sense. Similar strength so makes for exciting and competitive games…..I know KES already have College and Westville, but they have now dropped DHS & Northwood so could easily accomodate Glenwood…
@Roger: Maybe in future they should play 1st to 3rd team against 1st to 3rd and then 5th against 4th, 6th against 5th, and so on. the games between Affies and Waterkloof work like that. Kloof’s 4th team plays Affies 7th, and the 5th against Affies 9th or 10th.
@Grasshopper: Not too sure that they learn anything rugby wise from it either, but what it does do is teach them some humility and team spirit. My son, who is a proudly f-team rugby player could not play against KC on saturday because they (KC) do not have teams that low down. A filler fixture was found against a Durban school’s A side. Total mismatch and they got a 70 point clubbing. The strong point though is that the ref wanted to call it just after halftime when they hit the 50’s. Our boys asked him if they could please carry on playing – their attitude was that the game was going bnowhere but they could still have some fun. Interestingly they found themselves in some really good attacking positions after that and the extra 20 ponits were all scored against the run of play from deep on the attack after some silly errors. Their reward? some of these okes got back to MC in time to sub for the E-team and the one bloke actually got to play and score a try – scorelines aside they had a ball!
@Grasshopper: I get your idea. When I was at school in the junior grades, I was in a rugby team that was not particularly good. When the score was around the 40 point mark for the other team and we again had to kick off, the opposing team all sat down and let us play the ball without touching us. Obviously we scored but that was the last score we had. I can’t remember the final score, but can remember that we scored!
@Grasshopper: I have mixed feelings on this. I understand why the fixture is on place. 24 rugger games and 16 hockey games. Only Affies, KES, Jeppe and PBHS can turn out that amount of teams. Monnas, Waterkloof, Garsfontein, Menlo Park, EG Jansen etc just cannot provide Affies with that sort of fixture. Have a look at the KES Monnas results from last year – junior teams at A Level get hammered but at C and D they win and at Open level they go to 5ths only and KES smacked them at 5th 4th and 3rds – not so Affies! But then again who wants to ship 100 points and spend the match standing under the posts!
@Grasshopper: I hear you, however one thing is for sure, the U’15 E’s of KES has got bragging rights at school for the rest of the year. I know the scores are high, but the differences are not that huge. Look at the scores between Affies and Grey lower down at the open teams. High scores, but definitely not huge difference. Affies 10th team will beat any one, and even some first teams (which they will play during this week) however they got a hiding of 85-0. The moment they were on the back foot, they quit playing. They have to get that right, and learn to play for the entire 40 minutes. I promise you next year will be a different affair.
@RBugger: Yep, certainly a challenger for the SA Schools fullback spot…
Keyter, Affies Full-Back!!!! All I can say is wow! What a player, involved in everything on the day – fantastic to watch
@Cappie: And that was at KES, it would be worse at Affies. I’m certainly not looking forward to seeing the results vs Glenwood at Affies this year, especially the lower teams…..hopefully no centuries like the poor KES Under14D’s…..those poor guys will never want to play rugby again. They might as well have set up camp behind the poles and eaten their oranges whilst Affies scored and converted tries…
@Cappie: This speaks for itself;

Crazy for Affies to score over 1000 points on the day! Average score being 44-4, ten times the amount. KES boys are not learning much from that…..
@Woltrui: History has been made when Affies 1st team beat Grey for the first time last weekend (3-1). Thank you to derbies against KES, Jeppe, Maritzburg, PBH and the like!
@Grasshopper: Hopper when Affies started playing hockey against Maritzburg College and Grey Bloem we often lost matches with scores like 13-0. It only surfed as motivation to better our hockey. We build an astro specifically to accommodate the top schools(who understandably don’t play against you if you don’t have a proper astro). I am proud to say that we are more or less competitive with any hockey school in SA at the moment. We played a lot of the top schools at the Kearsney festival (think it was over easter where we won all the KZN competition-speak under correction but we played against Kearsney and Northwood, also beating Rondebosch from CT. Only loosing 1 match to Dale).

@Grasshopper: Jy het dalk ‘n punt beet, maar Affies se o’14’s en o’15’s het Grey ook goed laat les opsê. Hulle het op die oomblik goeie diepte. As ek n die tellings kyk lyk dit maar regdeur dieselfde, behalwe vir die 2de span waar dit gelykop was. KES se o’15 D het Affies gewen, so daar kan diepte wees by KES.

@Cappie: Yes, agreed at the A & B team and 1st to 3rd team level it’s competitive but not lower down, sorry. Where are the results? Let’s do some analysis of it and see how really fair it is…
@Grasshopper: Affies got hammered on the hockey fields by KES, but that just motivates them to do better next time. Affies strives to beat KES in hockey and they work towards that, just as I belief KES is working towards beating Affies on the rugby fields. KES second team managed a draw with Affies seconds, and in fact they were leading for most of the match. This score must influence the rest of the teams to also improve. Although the difference in scores are high, their are not to a massive difference in the teams. The challenges are on, and improvement is what you are aiming for. I remember the days when Grey hammered Affies in all the matches. Affies took something from it, and nowadays it is more equal. Let the derbies continue. Friends are made, and “vuurmaakhout vir oudag”!
@Roger: That was a couple of years ago on 365. I have since spoken to some of the boys in the lower sides, they honestly hate getting pumped 50 plus points. Some have even stopped playing rugby because they not having fun. The fun part of the game is scoring tries and having a chance of winning with your mates before the game has started. With Affies and Grey Bloem at lower levels it’s about how they can keep the score down. Now I still believe one should always test themselves against better sides but these stupid games against Grey Bloem & Affies do nothing for the confidence and enjoyment of the lower sides. I remember losing to College in Under13C about 59-0, felt rubbish. Re the KES vs Affies game, their physicality just knocked the stuffing out of the quite small KES pack and the scoreline was inevitable even if your scrummie had scored. He is a nuggety little guy, liked his never say die attitude. The brother of the captain prop was pretty useful too….
@ Roger- well you must be careful of the Teddy bears.
I think you will find that the hockey will also be tough and so there might be zero respite. 
@Grasshopper: i remember having this discussion with you re: Glenwood Grey Bloem and you were much in favour of the fixture continuing – what’s changed your mind?
KES had their chances on Sat – srumhalf getting the ball knocked out of his hand when over the line just on half time. A 14-10 half time deficit would have made 2nd half interesting. I thought the KES forwards were very good but backline let them down – the handling was shocking to say the least
Well done Affies – man alive – their junior teams are good – big step up in class for the KES boytjies. Westville on Sat will be like a Sunday school picnic in comparison!
@Woltrui: Nope, just thinking the 50 plus scores at C,D,E,F & G team levels teaches the boys nothing…..just saps their confidence. Remember most of the boys in these teams have played soccer up to grade 8, rugby is a new sport to them. The A & B teams are made up of boys who have played rugby most of their lives. Against Grey Bloem some of the lower teams get 80 to 100 points in 50 to 60 mins, madness!
@Grasshopper: Cmonn Hopper don’t be a sissie. It seems if you just want to play schools you think you can win year in and year out. Toughen up Boet.
@jakes: @AffieOuer: Dr Edwards made the comment before the game that it is not the winning or loosing what is important at such an interschools game. It is about the fact that 26 rugby teams and 16 hockey teams get the opportunity to compete against each other in a wonderful spirit. Long live this fixture. An experience for all the participating kids. Kes giving Affies sticks on the hockey field and Affies giving Kes sticks on the rugby field. Both schools can take a lot out of the fixtures.
@jakes: totally agree! Glenwood too get pommeled at lower levels so should drop the annual fixture vs Affies and replace it with KES or PBHS or Jeppe. Glenwood 1st and A teams can then play Affies at festivals. KES were never in it and this is a wreak Affies side!
@jakes I think Affies strive to do both! There is something to be said about a derby where so many boys participate on the day. It is difficult to describe…you have to be part of it to experience the magic. A Derby creates opportunities for many boys to play rugby and is not an exclusive affair for the A teams. Tough games are definitely required and Affies work hard to balance the two!
Affies are unfortuantely out of the league for KES on the rugby side.even with a weaker than normal Affies 1st team, they KES,still got a hiding. Not mentioning the massive scores within the JNR teams. Affies should be thinking of playing schools that can meet them by strenght and not in numbers.
Dit het nogals wild gegaan vandag daar by “school”. Affies 0/14A wen 51-3, 0/15A wen 55-0, 0/16A wen 64-7, 2de XV GELYKOP 12-12 en 1Ste XV 38-10. Moet sê dat die KES seuns werklik met mening tackle-laag en volluit! Alhoewel Affies groot tellings opgesit het (0/14D 100-0) moet n ou jou hoed afhaal vir die passie waarmee die “Ingelsmanne” speel en AANHOU tot die eindfluitjie blaas- welgedaan “school”!
@Roger: Will probably pop over for the u16 game, as I’ll be nearby at that time. I may stay for the 1st game, but will see how it goes.
@Vleis: scary – although at the Francois Swart festival this year KES beat Kempton Park and Swartkop and lost by 1 to Garsfontein.
@Vin: so much can happen in two years – I’ve seen teams go from no-hopers at U16 to decent outfits at Open (and visa versa) often.
@Vleis: nope – will catch it on the box – will you be there?
@Vin: True, I should have said soutie school, not soutie team.
Re KES v Affies u16: Last year, the KES u15A team lost by 12 to 3 v the Affies u15 B team at the Francois Swart festival. That is the kind of depth and talent that Affies have.
@Vleis: Soutie??? heard the Jeppe boys talking afrikaans to each other saying kom boys. Tough to convert the KES boy to Jeppe or visa versa. Will have to just grin a bear 2016 from afar.
@Vin: Shopping? The most talented soutie u16 team in the country is Jeppe, so that is where you could start!
I’m sure that there are a few diamonds in the rough at some of the stronger co-ed schools like Northcliff, Randpark, Fourways, etc….plus a boarding scholarship to a few Noordheuwel boys might help too.
@Roger: Are you going to the game?
@Cappie: Ek praat van 1ste span. Die ander speel baie goed soos altyd.
@Vleis: yep – KES u16 will really struggle, U14 and 15 are both pretty strong but will battle to keep it below 20 points
Nog nie een wedstryd wat ek van Affies gekyk het hierdie jaar het hulle gewen nie. Ek het alles in my vermoë gedoen om iets te reël om nie Johannesburg toe te ry vir die wedstryde nie, en nou staan en saai hulle dit uit, en… ja, ek sal verseker nie my oë van die kassie kan afhou nie. Forth time lucky!
@Vleis: Yep agree with you, U16’s are weak this year. Better start shopping for 2016, any idea where we should start?
@Vin: that’s always the case at age group level against the Afrikaans schools. Monnas is the same although they don’t have the depth Affies has. At Open level we are always competitive (Paul Roos notwithstanding
)
@Vin: Yep, always a struggle for u14’s at English schools in Gauteng given the lack of rugby experience; however, the biggest A team loss will probably be at u16 level. I’ll pop over to watch that game after my daughter’s hockey match finishes.
@star: Looking forward to it.
@ Vin- Don’t worry.Next week you can come to Durbs and put your feet up.
@Roger: Stranger things have happened i Know but I’m looking at it across all the age groups. Our Open age group has the best chance. U14 are still settling in with a number of the boys playing rugby for the 1st time while Affies has no less than 10 2013 U13 craven week players. Realistic
@Vin: oh ye of little faith
@Grasshopper: we are always happy to show people the error of their ways
@AffiePa: the KES 1st team hockey results haven’t been great this year, they were beat 5-0 by MC the week before. All the planets must have been aligned for KES. Unfortunately rugby will be a different story.
@Vin: Yo, you gave us a hockey lesson. It is one of our best 1st teams in years this year so KES must really have a strong side to “klap” us 4-1. Congrats.
@Vin: Yeah, he is still very passionate about rugby and KES, great pics and stories from back then. He played lock and was only 79kg back then! If I was not going to the Glenwood Old Boys dinner I would have taken him the KES reunion thing, but I probably would not have been allowed in…..hahah! I could have handed over the Grogper wooden spoon there too! ;-)

@Grasshopper: Would be awesome if he could have attended the drinks function always great to meet old boys from years gone by.
@Woltrui: Wat was die hokkie telling?
@Vin: Yep, my grandad is KES Old Boy, 89 now. He wanted to go to the KES reunion in Durban but just not well enough. He played in the 1942 and 1943 1st teams for KES and the army….I’m always pulling on Roger’s leg…..I just wished Glenwood were as vocal as KES on social media….far too quiet for my liking…
@Grasshopper: Hopper shouting Go Reds!!!…..”Vin’s work colleagues helping him off the floor”
@Roger: Go REDS!
@Roger: Time for KES to wipe the Paul Roos debacle from memory and put up a proper performance on TV. This is the weakest Affies side in many years so at home this is a great chance for KES to get a rare win against this powerhouse rugby school. I think Glenwood and College have beaten this Affies side at age group level every year, but not by huge margins. KES can do it and I hope they do. However, at A team level they can forget about winning more like keeping the score down…..these Affies A sides beat most of the Grey teams..
@kosie @Woltrui: : yup – I agree – but KES is a very settled team since the Paul Roos debacle too. Some injured players are back and they are playing well.
As I said, school boy rugger – anything can happen.
Interesting – I was watching the Premier Schools preview show and the KES captain was interviewed – he said at U16 level KES only lost to Affies by 2 so they are hoping to turn the tables!
very impressed with the Affies captain’s english as well
Woltrui – look out for College hockey when you play them – shit hot
@Roger: I know its been a bit of an up and down season for both teams, but Affies should take this one now that their team is settled.
@beet: Beet where did you get the team sheet? My understanding that Affies has a number of injuries from the Blue Bull trials last week so not sure this is the correct team.
@Roger: Congrats on the hockey Roger. I really thought we could put one over the Reds in 2014. Hopefully next year.
@kosie: Affies definitely favourites but the game is at KES and stranger things have happened
@Hanswors: Tot hulle een wen?
@Hanswors: Elke groot wedstryd
Nou hoeveel keer gaan Affies se wedstryde nog op TV uitgesaai word hierdie jaar?
Affies to take this one by 10 +.
