Once again I just want to say thank you to Johan Snyman who updates the AffiesRugby.co.za website. Without his time and effort to retrieve the info and forward it, presenting the database below would not have been possible.
Any help with first names and schools attended wherever applicable would be appreciated.

@Redblack White: Paul Arnott’s (1980) son played craven week in 2012 and was injured for most of 2013.
@Redblack White:
1984-85 – Mike Taylor – his son Jordan was recently selected for the KZN Duikers U15’s and is likely to join Westville next year after some time abroad.
@Black and White: Interesting comment about Robert du Randt and Donovan. It would be interesting to see what results the gene pool of this decade produced.
1981 – Brett walker – his son played for House this year (and next?)
1983 – Shaun Glover – his son played College u16A this year(and KZN GK)
1983 – K Smith – his son captained College a couple of years back
Anyone know of others – there must be more
Deon Marx – nr8 – 1983 was from Empangeni High School
Du Randt – nr13 – 1988. First name Robert. Deceased father of Donovan du Randt playing for Glenwood.
@star: I agree about the injustice at centre in 1982. Given the College record against local opposition that year, just a draw against KC, and two big wins against DHS (25-9 and 35-4), I am surprised the College centre pairing didn’t get picked. Gave Hilton a bit of a klap as well that year 31-0.
In fact, a little mind boggling that the unbeaten domestic team got only 3 in the side. Go figure
1980- R Pastorino and the indomitable Oscar Chalupsky were Westville together with Polkinghorne’s partner in crime( Lance Wilson) in 1981. In 1982 there was a huge injustice at center.
I also thought Paul Harris( Hilton) made it as prop in 1982.
Great content – who is brave enough to do the 70’s?
@meadows: Good win for MHS but I think it was on Meadows.
@meadows: ’81 John Mosse was at Michaelhouse.
@beet: Paul Arnott and Renzi in the 1980 side were from MHS, as was Andy Everett in ’81. Not sure of any others in the 1981side. Should probably claim Mick Tingle in ’80 but I think that the rare victory on Goldstones that year was adequate compensation
@GreenBlooded: Yep, I think Trevor still holds the open 100m record, 10.64 on grass!
The only College rep I see missing is HA Beatie in 1980. 48 in total for the period.

did Warren Brosnihan not make Natal schools in ’89
@Grasshopper: Let’s just say that Dennis was at Glenwood a few years longer than he should have been….
Trevor was the younger boetie – was at GW from 87 onwards. Great athlete.
@Grasshopper: These lists above are as per the Craven Week programmes.
So of benefit to know who a player missing off the list replaced in the initial 20-player squad.
Aigner missing from the 87 side…
I think 83 should be Dennis Baronet not Trevor, seems Dennis played Natal Schools 3 years in a row and SA Schools, must be a unique achievement that….std 8 to matric…
