Match report: Maritzburg College 42 Pretoria Boys High 28

13 April, 2014 beet 38

 This was a super-duper entertain packaged game played on Goldstones in Pietermaritzburg. When 70-points get scored in 70-minutes, there is room for constructive negative comments about defensive structures and tackling, however during this game it really felt like the positives like attacking running lines, strength in contact, individual skills and good handling was more responsible for the high score than defensive lapses.…

Match feedback: Waterkloof 38 Affies 21

10 April, 2014 beet 73

Compiled with input from Coleen Naude, Waterkloof Media Liaison and Marketing.

It almost feels like an understatement suggesting that the Affies versus Klofies rugby battle attracts a lot of interest. It’s a huge game on the Pretoria and South African school rugby calendar. Once again the proof was in the pudding, the pavilion and the surrounding grounds were packed with spectators for this derby.…

Varsity Cup 2014 : UCT’s amazing comeback win! Unbelievable!

7 April, 2014 beet 33

What a final! UCT looked dead and buried and then some at 33-15 after 73-minutes. Pukke’s machine of a hooker Armand van der Merwe (Duhan’s older boet) looked all set to be the Man of the Match. The fat lady was warming up her vocal cords, the engraver was about to incise the letters “N-W-U” on the cup but then it happened. The dramatic and incredible comeback. UCT scored once, scored twice! Got the score back to 33-31 down with virtually no time left. Then Pukke had the ball game with time up, hooter gone and a deep pass to flyhalf Johnny Welthagen in the pocket. All he had to do was kick the ball into touch, knock it on or kill play somehow but instead he went for the drop goal, got charged down and possession was turned over to the Ikeys students. Huge BMT followed and via some excellent composed handling the Tiger stripes created some space on an inside line and the rest is history. UCT 39 Pukke 33. What a great final!…

Bishop’s: their 1992 1st XV with Herschelle Gibbs in it

6 April, 2014 beet 142

SA cricketer Herschelle Gibbs of Bishop’s has often been described as one of the finest SA schoolboy rugby flyhalves of all times. Interestingly when it comes to conversations about outstanding school flyhalves, there are still strong associations made to the performances of SA cricketing greats Peter Kirsten (SACS), Lee Barnard (KES) and Daryll Cullinan (Queen’s). Apart from Gibbs, Maritzburg College flyhalf Udo Goedeke also represented both codes at SA Schools level.…
