This is the exact purpose for which the eighth annual Traditional Rugby Schools Awards Luncheon was held on 15 August 2012. …
It is just over 20 years to the day since South Africa gained readmission to the international rugby arena. Rugby has changed a fair bit in terms of the rules and the way it is played in that time but remains a game loved passionately by many South Africans both young and old.

Collegians beat Hillcrest 26 – 17 in the featured U13 game, but it was a very even contest and could have gone either way. In the U15A games, Collegians and Varsity College were dominant with Collegians beating Harlequins 47 – 7. Varsity College were in devastating form, outscoring Rovers by 9 tries to 1.…
