Maritzburg College’s Jesse Kriel, one of the star players of Craven Week 2012 along with the Kearsney College trio of Sandile Kubeka and the du Preez twins Daniel and Jean-Luc have all cracked the nod to be included in the SA Schools 50-player squad. …
KwaZulu-Natal will feature in the penultimate game of Craven Week 2012. Their opponents are Eastern Province who are unbeaten so far and should be worthy opposition, perhaps even slight favourites going into the game.…
Just a couple of days after tasting the good life, Kwazulu-Natal and their supporters had to experience the flip side of the Craven Week experience when the team was beaten 17-8 by the Golden Lions on Wednesday.…
…Following their mesmerising 48-24 performance against a seemingly shell-shocked Free State, the KwaZulu-Natal under-18 schools team now has to turn their attentions the Lions. A much stronger pack of forwards and a flyhalf who prefers to seek out field position awaits the KZN boys.
The tried and tested format at Craven Week is amongst other considerations and objectives to work towards two teams, one from the Day 1 group and the other from the Day 2 group, meeting in Saturday’s unofficial final. This means that the main matches on days 3 and 4 have to more or less serve as semi-finals.…
Craven Week is about to kick off. Handre Pollard the Paarl Gim, Western Province under 18 and Junior World Championship winning flyhalf has certainly added considerable weight to the term “high-profile player” this SBR season.…
The KZN Under 16 squad had an excellent week at the Grant Khomo inter provincial tournament, winning 2 out of 3 games with the single loss being a nailbiter against a physical Eastern Cape side.…

The KZN Country Districts continued to impress with another win, while the KZN team suffered a heavy defeat.…
It was a tough day for most teams as 8 out of 10 games had close scorelines. In all those games the difference was 5 points or less, in a couple of games the game was only won in the last 5 minutes. This should be good news for SA Rugby as this proves how strong SA Rugby is.…

Things didn’t go according to plan for the KZN Academy team on Day 1 in Wellington. They went down 34-19 to South Western Districts, this after being just 14-15 behind at the halftime break. It seems like disciple was a major cause for concern with no fewer than three yellow cards being issued to KZN players during the match.…
There wasn’t much to talk about in the first half except the fact that the Pumas dominated every department and scored two unanswered tries. The only positive that KZN could take out of the first half was a long range penalty from Joubert who got it over from his own 10m line. Pumas led 14 – 3 at the break.…
Wellington in the Boland is the venue for this year’s provincial under-18 Academy Week running from 02-05 July. The match days are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, so it’s quite congested and will be physically demanding on the players.…

The KZN u18 players and coaching staff were fortunate to escape unharmed when their bus caught alight and eventually burnt to smithereens on the way back to Durban from East London earlier this week. Not so lucky was their new Mr Price Sport kit that was reduced to ashes.…
With probably over 10000 people in attendance, Hilton’s Gilfillan field had this sort of mini amphitheatre feel about it. The atmosphere throughout the game was incredible but probably peaked just prior to kickoff. Reason…
Mr Price Sport, well-known in schoolboy rugby circles throughout the country for their generous kit support, are continuing the existing partnership with the Kwazulu-Natal under 18 Craven Week team. …
Well it’s a long way to go on a bus for a warm-up game, so hopefully the KZN Schools team and management got some sort of value out of their trip down to East London. KZN 62 Border 3 is how the game ended.…
The Hilton win over Michaelhouse has made things a little fuzzy with regards to who the no.1 team in the province is.
There are a number of ways to rank the KZN Tier 1 teams.
To keep it simple, a pretty fair system of awarding 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss has been used below.

Glenwood wing Dylan Coulson who many felt was unluck not to have made one of the two KZN under-18 representative teams this year, has been asked to provide short-term cover for his injured teammate Corné Vermaak.…
