There isn’t a league or a knockout competition in KwaZulu-Natal, however with all the top rugby schools playing against one another on an annual basis, there is opportunity to compare the KwaZulu-Natal inter-schools results in any given season and determine who the top team is. 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. It was therefore interesting to compare some of the statistics of the first Bok team selected back in 1992 to those of the current SA Schools team.…

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.…
