Haiving losing 29-10 to the Pumas in a friendly on Tuesday night, the Blue Bulls have made seven changes to their squad to face the Lions in a Craven Week warm up game on Tuesday, 26 May 2015…
The form book suggests that home team Affies are the overwhelming favourites to beat Klofies for the 31st time on Saturday. Klofies was only established in 1979 but they quickly rose to become a major force in the Blue Bulls region.…
With a 13-10 lead, KZN is just one win away from retaining the English Medium Schools Grogper Cup. It could be a done deal by this Saturday if Westville can produce match-winning form in their rematch against the KES.…
With 13 of the power EG Jansen team in their squad of 22, it’s reasonable to expect the Valke to be a handful for any top provincial under-18 team they come up against this season. Their Craven Week schedule may however not do them justice. …

Boksburg’s EG Jansen rebounded from a strong start by Krugerdorp’s Monument, to win 29-17 and claim the Tuks Skole Reeks under-18 rugby title for 2015.…
Jeppe Boys High from Johannesburg recorded a pleasing 27-20 over home school Westville after leading 15-10 at halftime .
Jeppe played some unpredictable high risk rugby at times and appeared to be with a decisive exit strategy on a few occasions but overall they were the more productive team and made efforts to play to their strengths.…
Northwood recorded a meaningful victory against strong opposition when they defeated Parktown in an error-riddled match on Reece-Edwards field, Durban North on Sunday.…
Final count: 19 – 5 to Suid with 2 draws
The start of the 2015 schoolboy rugby season has been marked by an increase in the number of matches between the established rugby schools of Noordvaal (“Noord”) and the Western Cape (“Suid”). Some of the most highly anticipated clashes of the season take place during this 30-day period.…
After what happened against SACS earlier this month, Affies probably won’t be underestimating any other team they come up against this season. However that said the Wildeklawer Invitation team, Affies’ match-day one oppnents, have over the years been a walk over for any powerhouse school that took them on at the Skouspel. Well this might be a little different…
One week ahead of their Wildeklawer debut on the same ground, Menlopark will travel to Kimberley to face a very competitive Diamantveld team, who’s two best results so far this season have been the much talked about come from behind 34-all draw against Grey College followed by a 12-22 defeat to a very strong Boishaai in Stellenbosch.…
The second Noord-Suid Festival will take place at Menlopark starting just 2 days days after the traditional Easter Festivals. This year’s tournament already looks set to enjoy a much higher profile than the 2014 inaugural tournament.

They are big, they are strong, they are physical and they love to dominate! That’s an adequate description of the two sets of packs that will do battle on Saturday, 21 March 2015 when Monument (Krugersdorp) the Tuks Skole Reeks for Co-ed schools overall winners in 2014 and EG Jansen (Boksburg) the competition’s 1st XV rugby defending champions meet in the eagerly awaited Group-A final round match. …

Affies 1st XV kicks off what promises to be good rugby campaign with an away match against unpredictable private school Helpmekaar on Saturday 21 March 2015.…
Helpmekaar definitely cannot be feeling the love from their fellow Golden Lions “Large Schools” league rivals at the moment.…
Here is something I was able to piece together from various emails and the blog. It would be go if bloggers could add contributions to help expand it.…
It may not be the perfect schedule but it’s very close to one. Menlopark rugby is on the rise and their 2015 fixture list speaks volumes about their focus and ambitions to be regarded as a top rugby school.…
Eldoraigne from Centurion near Pretoria have decided to drop down to the Blue Bulls Region Macro Schools B-section for the Beeld this year. With Centurion High also in the B-section and Affies no longer part of the Beeld, the Blue Bulls A-section is looking very small. Chances are the Eldoraigne move will encourage the remaining A-section Marco schools to press ahead with the formation of a proper Noordvaal premier league. Where this will leave the Beeldtrofee with its rich tradition, remains to be determined.
The Blue Bulls Macro Schools sections now look like this:…
Little private school Southdowns, who play in the Beeld Trofee competition for small schools, has built up a bit of a reputation over the last few years for “acquiring” top school players from prominent Border high schools. Now it’s their turn to experience what it’s like to lose a promising youngster.
Kwezi Mafu, a highly rated loose-forward who represented the Blue Bulls under-16 team at Grant Khomo Week in 2013 and in 2014, has left Southdowns College in Centurion, Pretoria to join Grey High School in Port Elizabeth.…
Updated after it was revealed that Garsfontein will not be playing Paul Roos at the St John’s Easter Rugby Festival
Garsfontein will take on South African school rugby powerhouses Paarl Boys High and Paarl Gymnasium as well as Nelspruit, the Beeldtrofee champions 2014 in the space of just over a week during April 2015. Add Outeniqua somewhere in the middle and that’s four seriously tough matches in just eight days. Once all the Easter holiday fixtures have been finalised, this assignment, given it’s time frame will in all likelihood be right up there at the top of the list of most difficult of all for 2015. …
Interesting news coming out of the Noordvaal is that the Beeldtrofee Macro School regions of the Golden Lions, Leopards and Valke have combined forces to form new A and B division leagues to kick off in 2015.…
The Leopards have been very competitive at under-19 level over the years and its no longer that big a surprise when they beat one of the big unions during the junior Currie Cup, simply because they have good coaching, good facilities and they attract many talented players their way. This annual prosperity would not been possible if it were not for the close working relationship that the union has with the North-West University or Pukke as they are so often called.…
The group of 35 players by school + 1 returning player…
Affies have upped their game by appointed two new 1st XV coaches ahead of the 2015 school rugby season. Jan-Hendrik Hattingh (history teacher) and Jaco Koch (gym manager/biokineticist) will take charge of the Witbulle backs and forwards respectively. Koch’s promotion means a new conditioning coach Janus Kruger (previously Boishaai) also comes into the mix.…
