Match Report: Queen’s beats Grey High 29-25

15 May, 2014 beet 1

The Queen’s College 1st XV Rugby team dished up one of the surprises of the season with a stunning come from behind victory on the Recreation ground on Saturday afternoon. The underdog status that the “Men in White” had going into the match was part of their motivation to secure the shock 29-25 victory over their much fancied opponents from Port Elizabeth. While most supporters gave Queen’s very little chance going into this encounter, the QC team itself always had the belief that they could stand up to this highly rated Grey, even after the QC teams early season battles.…

Western Cape school player recruitment dramas

14 May, 2014 beet 138

Introduction:
With school rugby becoming more professional by the day, more funds, usually made available via external sources, are being channeled towards rugby player acquisitions after Grade 8, than ever before. One thing that is evident in South African schoolboy rugby is that the Western Cape has a surplus of talent. So by connecting the two: more money for recruitment and a surplus talent pool, it seems obvious that the Western Cape is increasingly going to become the shopping ground of rich rugby schools from afar who want to improve their rugby profiles, with all that’s likely to vary being the means they use to acquire players.…
