The unofficial national championship game in Bloemfontein lived up to its top billing. On path to winning the tightly contested thriller 28-26, Grey College of Bloemfontein had to change leads with Paul Roos of Stellenbosch no fewer than 8 times.
Early on scoreboard blows are traded as a long shot at goal by Paul Roos (PRG) kicker Kade Wolhuter (10) is replied to by his opposite number Zander du Plessis making it 3-3 after 9 min.
Another holding penalty is kickable but PRG go for the corner this time. A messy lineout results in a maul turnover to Grey.
Grey applies the pressure. By this stage they are the team dominating the ball in hand play, forcing PRG into the 40’s tackle count. The upped tempo results in an offsides penalty and Grey accepts the offer to lead 6-3.
Almost immediately after the kickoff PRG get back on level terms at 6-6 after close to 20min played on the clock.
A good carry by PRG prop Robbie Rodgers (1) after some nifty play down the left touch, as part of a useful ball retention patch eventually ends with a high tackle penalty and the lead is handed back to PRG at 9-6.
Soon after the kickoff, a hand in the ruck means Grey have a chance to balance out the score. They however opt for the lineout but cannot capitalise on their good field position.
Wolhuter’s radar is working perfectly. He gives PRG a 12-6 lead after 28min.
PRG produces an exciting offensive initiated by captain Matthew Cordy (8) and helped by a beaut of an offload by Mink Scharink (3) and then an impro pass by Remy Engelbrecht (15).
From one end to the other, just like that Grey are back in the redzone, via a Greyt kick-chase which ends in an unforced error by PRG. Grey cannot take advantage at first from the setpiece but their willingness to attack with ball in hand, allows them to put the hammer down after a quick tap penalty. It concludes with Werner Gouws (8) doing ever so well to get his arm over a tackle and cross the white chalk for the unconverted opening try of the match just before the break.
The half ends with big Grey wing Marcelle Muller (11) being forced into touch after a threatening carry up the left.
12- 11 to PRG at halftime.
The first real bit of second half excitement is engineered by Grey’s Ross Braude (9) off the blindside of an angled Grey scrum. The nippy scrummy takes off and chips deep ahead into his opposition 22. PRG escapes via an eighth penalty their way.
Following a series of turnovers either way, Grey flyhalf du Plessis once again tests PRG stand-in wing Aiden Salie, who barely stands up to the challenge. Overenthusiasm on their opponents’ goal-line means penalty number 9 against Grey.
A superb carry by lock George Cronje (4) is the main impetus for Grey’s go-forward. The home side swing the ball wide to the right and good hands allows wing Lesley Botha (14) to finish in the right corner. A good conversion and Grey hits the front at 18-12.
PRG strikes back with venom. They give Grey grief on the home team’s tryline. Penalty 11 to PRG, leads to a lineout and the dangerman from short range, Dutch international Mink Scharink is on hand with teammates in support to power over. A good kick and PRG leads 19-18 after 53 min.
With kickoffs generally proving to be a nightmare for the receiving team to retain and consolidate possession from, Grey soon have the ball back and have a bash, only to be undone by a turnover. The navy blues however don’t surrender the field position and their relentlessly pressure culminates in a short pass to George Cronje who cruises in. 25-19 to Grey after 58 min.
Grey takes the ball back into their 22 before kicking directly out. A rolling maul followed by a jink run by Wolhuter takes PRG right to the line. Here another penalty, tap and go, backed by effective pick and go play sees Robbie Rodgers cross the line. 26-25 to PRG.
In the 64th minute, a PRG player is trapped in a not rolling away position at a ruck. A straight kick for du Plessis puts Grey up 28-26 in the classic.
A forward pass by Grey near the halfway line with a minute left to play presents PRG with a final chance to have a say on the scoreboard.
With time almost up, PRG attack after their scrum and get to the 22 but the tackled ball ends in an unplayable situation and the referee brings a memorable match to an end.
Grey wins, remains unbeaten and claims the national number –1 ranking for the first time since 2014.
It’s Paul Roos’ first defeat of the season, denying them the right to be the national number-1 team or from going down in history as the first unbeaten team from the Stellenbosch school in over two decades.
Remarkably Grey win every single rugby match on the day.

POINTS ACCUMULATION ROAD TO THE TOP OF THE 2018 RANKINGS
@BoishaaiPa: I am not being critical and do I have much appreciation for whomever gathers and processes the information to add much entertainment value to the blog.
It is in essence a thankless task.
I just noticed the oddity and thought that in a parallel universe where PRG never played their first game, they would have ended top of the rankings – and an observer following the rest of the results through the course of the season would have said: “What the f… happened here!”
That said – I think the SBR-ranking is the most accurate of the rankings available. Two other websites also publish rankings that in essence correspond with the SBR-ranking, a third website doesn’t update its rankings on a regular basis and I think the webmaster from the fourth website is that observer in a parallel universe I spoke about earlier – some really weird rankings there! (I will refrain from naming and shaming.)
I trust you will shortly publish your final Top 50 list. Continue the good work.
@chief: Dit behoort n waterskeiding jaar vir Menlo te wees op Snr vlak.Hang af wie gaan afrig maar behoort baie kompeterend te wees.Ek nie so op hoogte met volgende Jaar se Garsies groep nie maar was bra gem in onder ouderdomme.Dis hoekom ek gese het the Jury still out…
@Grizzly: @AbsolutMenlo:
Ek dink die idee agter die toernooi is baie beter as die Union High Festival. Goeie geleentheid vir Grey om hul jaar sterk te begin by so ‘n toernooi en opponente. As ek dinge reg het behoort Menlo en Garsfontein sterk te wees volgende jaar?
@Grizzly: I hear you. A Monnas team in top form is always an extremely powerful side. That said, based on all the games that I watched, I think that a full strength PRG team was the top team of 2018…and possibly the best school team that I have seen for many years.
@chief: Groot geleentheid en voorreg vir Menlo!
@Vleis: For me the draw with Grey put Glenwood in second with PRG 3rd.Luckily for all 3 teams they don’t have to play the current Monnas team… Don’t know what happened earlier in the season but the one that all my predictions were based at last year only featured at the end of the season…
@chief: Wow,wat n vooruitsig!Menlo will be up for this one but the jury still out on Garsies for 2019… What a difference Grey makes to N/S.
@Herakles: Unfortunatly it is not that simple and straightforward as it seems. If they did not play the Lions XV they would still have had to play a game at St Johns and it would still have ended up on 15 games. You can try and avoid playing schools with low rankings but the question is..will you be able to win all your high category games?. There are many subtleties that can influence the final averages. Nothing is perfect, but at least it is transparent.
@Vleis: 2 3 Glenwood
Taking everything into account (i.e. quality of opposition; where the top 3 played each other (home v away); players on SA schools duty, etc, etc): I think that the best team in 2018 was PRG, followed by GCB and then GWD. That said, I rate the 2018 GWD team as better than the 2017 top team (i.e. HJS), but not as good as the 2016 top team (i.e. HJS). Unfortunately for GWD, their great team came along in the same year as two other great teams. That said, they were unbeaten…so can be extremely proud of their efforts.
@Herakles: Jy het nou vir BHP HEELTEMAL uitgeboul. Ek kan nie onthou of hy n kolwer of bouler in sy prime dae was nie.
Dit is goed om te sien dat Grey volgende jaar teen Menlo en Garsfontein gaan speel by die Noord Suid toernooi.
@Herakles: BHP’s ranking system is not the alpha and omega of rankings. Never was, its the most accurate though.
@PRBoitjie: yes but the ranking of a side is subjective.
An interesting point that nobody has seemed to pick up, is the slightly weird effect the specific mechanisms of the BHP Ranking Formula has had on the final ranking.
PRG played their first game against a Lion Invitational team which game they won with a score of 78-10. That earned them 2,7 points on the ranking system with a total point of 74,7 after 15 games and an average point of 4.98.
Had they not played that first game which they won with 68 points, they would have lost 2,7 points on the ranking system leaving them with a total point of 72 after 14 games but now with an average of 5,14 – which is higher than the average of 5,09 of the number one team, Grey College!
Furthermore, if the category point of the Lions Invitational team, or that of any alternative team they might have played against in their first game, was at least 4, they would also have ended at the top of the SBR ranking list.
The moral of the story seems to be that if the final ranking is important to you, you should at all costs avoid playing against schools with a low category point as it will screw up your average for the whole season.
@PRBoitjie: agree 100p
play weak Natal opposition 80p of the team-4/5 u19 players
age group teams nowhere-they should be nr 6/7
@PRBoitjie: 2 3 Roos
@McCulleys Workshop: The difference between PRG and GW is that PRG has 11 x Cat5 wins and GW only has 4 wins and one draw against a Cat5 school. You need to compare apples with apples. One may actually argue that Paarl Gim has a stronger case for the no 3 spot than GW – purely based on their Cat5 wins this season.
@Mpukane: Fair comment, I would have though GW would have ended in second position on this log. One of the areas thats hard to adjudicate is where two schools are unbeaten, however one school played weaker opposition. I think in this instance it is too subjective and GW played against many good sides plus they played more games, to my mind that should count. From recollection BHP ranks teams based on previous years performance and then alters those teams rankings during the year based on their performance. You get more points for beating an Affies than you would a MHS. It has some merit however in this instance seems incorrect, if you are a believer in any of the ranking systems that is.
@Bush: hehehe …. 2 3 GW!
@odie15: Yes would have been great if GW had slotted that final kick. That try that was not given was a bad call. It had no bearing on the game. GW were given the scrum as the ball was “held up” and they scored from that scrum. So you can’t count that as a try “not given”. You starting to sound like PRG after the GCB fixtures. Maybe the bloggers are right, we all become Maroon
@Mpukane: Yes we were hoping that conversion happened & the disallowed try they scored was given! Unfortunately they never played against enough high ranked teams.
I have been reading the comments on this thread and find it strange that Glenwood have been ignored completely for joint first with Grey College. They seem to be relegated to third for some reason.
@PaarlBok: I know you a hockey school…but the rugby result was 19/23 for Boishaai. And the squash won hands down…
@apple: And that thread will have 3000 replies and the status quo will stay exactly the same.
I am excited to see Jurich Claasen play next year, he is going to be immense.
2 3 Bere!
@Rainier: not stalking you but dont worry, soon it will be the summer months and we will be reading the exact reasons (again) why nobody wants to play garsfontein. it is like a rerun of the proteas record cricket victory over the ozzies, everbody knows how it will play out and end, but it passes the time.
Ek sien die draad kry nou eers lekker momentum.
@Rainier:
??? Toemaar in die 10 jaar wat ek by die laerskool betrokke was kon hulle J bay nog 4 keer wen, my seun het in twee van daai games gespeel…
@Smallies: Dankie vir niks.
@Rainier: nee my laaste kind is 3 jaar terug klaar met laerskool, as ek reg is us die spannetjie nie sleg nie gewoonlik nogal goed afgerig met lekker never say die gees, en die pa,s wat soos n gang langs die veld is lig hulle gewoonlik lekker op…
@KoedoeBul: jarre terug was dit nie n slegte plek om te bly nie, ons Brakpanners se ryk en larnie mense het omtrent almal vaknsie plekke gehad daar langs Florida meer?????
@Smallies: Tussen Kruger en Roodepoort.
@Smallies: Ons speel 8:00 teen Aliwal Noord /13’s, berei voor vir ‘n baie taai wedstryd.
Enige tips?
@KoedoeBul: wa in die woesrand
@Smallies: Oorspronklik van die Woesrand. Ek is nie n local poeierhol nie.
@KoedoeBul: buffel, jinne julle paarl mense sukkel met die lees???
@Smallies: Buffelkop of koedoekop?
@Rainier: die naweek is die stulting sport dag…. Aliwal Noord is daar met O 9A O 11A EN O 13 A tradisioneel die rugby afsluiting van die laerskool pa, s en seuns in busse soontoe, kyk uit vir die Maroon en navy blou ondersteuner baaitjies met n buffelkop op
@PaarlBok: ek sit anderdag by die ongevalle in bloem waar die Dokkie my meisiekind se vinger behandel wat sy tydens n hokkie game gebreek het, terwyl ons daar sit kom daar twee ander dogters in van die selfde sport dag een met n gebteekte wangbeen en n ander een met n af neus… Die ou wat van hokkie as mofstok praat het seker nooit die kojones gehad om te speel nie, in vergelyking met rugby het hokkie amper dubbel die hoeveelheid been breke veral in die gesig area…. Dis beslis nie n game vir softies nie
@boerboel: Daar is lekker 7’s hier op 1 Sept by Nico Malan, Grey PE, Monnas, Kwaggas en Boishaai neem deel.
Kom kuier, dit gaan ‘n awesome naweek wees.
@Rainier:
ons ook maar verveeld noudat die seisoen klaar is
Kan Beet nie ‘n aparte thread begin sodat die wynland manne hulle tools daar kan gaan meet nie, ipv hier wat eintlik gaan oor die one horse town span wat die jaar as Nr 1 afsluit.
@PaarlBok: wat maak jy nog op die blog
julle gim/paul roos mannetjies darem
@PaarlBok: in the squash and cross country grey were thrashed…paarl also wiped the library floor in the english senior debating and there was a few false notes detected at the cultural evening; even more so, they did win the “first to run up to the field after the first team rugby match”, which did not happen last saturday against your other school. it could be that the paul roos match did not mean that much to grey, because they were applauded for just making as if it was an everyday occurrence. reality is that al schools go through different cycles – was first paarl these past 3 years, paul roos this and the next couple of years, then paarl gym with landbou always the dark horse. that makes rugby in the winelands exciting, compared to other one horse towns, and whatever happens, they will continue to play one another bc to not play would go against 100 years of tradition.
@boerboel: Boerboel jou mede Boishaai ondersteuner wys net die algemeen Paarl skole se gevoel oor hokkie.
Jy weet seker dat PRG sokker ook aanbied. Verstaan dat daar baie belangstelling is en dat dit groei.
Rugby is net een sport by PRG en kan en sal verbeter.
@PaarlBok: Ek het nooit van mofstok gepraat nie….
Met PRG se getalle MOET julle beter presteer. (veral rugby).
@KoedoeBul: Ander sporte soos hokkie sal nooit vorentoe gaan as die ondersteuners praat van mofstok nie. Hier langs my le n groen Boishaai astro, amper klaar gebou wat ten minste R4 miljoen kos. Hou duim vas dat die belegging die moeite werd is vir HJS se mofstok spelers.
@PaarlBok: Ons het net 880 seuns, dit is mos onmoontlik om in hokkie, rugby, waterpolo ens ens ens te presteer. Ons is beduidend kleiner as julle.
Hoe gaan dit met die introspeksie.
@odie15: What happened when GC visit HJS in Paarl, specially the hockey?
@Speartackle: Sorry,Riemme het my n foto van die groepie gewys en daai is kuk vir die
@odie15: No Shi…must agree with that one 
@Grizzly:
just inquiry! But feathers in the face good some times…
Rugbyman en Djou het al sonder n totsiens koebaai gesê
@Grizzly: Wil jy ook op ons groepie wees?
@odie15: Thanks for the invite but I’ll pass.Had my last pillow fight 35 years ago…
@PRBoitjie: Ag Flip
Kom asb terug groepie toe
@Grizzly: has AJ won that Virseker beker for you yet?
@PRBoitjie: our toilets are sub standard though we will fix them just for you next season!
@PRBoitjie:
you living under a rock! We see everything you guys post….I have a son in Stellenbosch as well you can’t hide what is said!
@McCulleys Workshop: yes.The teacher incident.
@Grizzly: That depends what you are talking about, I can only assume that was the press artical.
@McCulleys Workshop: IMO not a big deal… little more than a storm in a teacup..The school dealt with it rather fast and efficient..
@Grizzly: What can I say. Its not our brightest moment, we won’t be the first school nor the last, but hopefully the new head who arrives next year cleans things up. From what I hear, it’s been needed for some time. Schools manifest the ethics, successes and achievements mapped out by their leaders, from the board to the school head and staff to the schoolboy leaders who have a huge responsibility morally and as educators and role models. This is an environment where one can never been content or passive, but pushing new bounds in academic delivery, sporting excellence and cultural and community commitment. The week before last was not a great week for House on a number of fronts.
@McCulleys Workshop: I hear you…see MH is making headlines and it’s not about their rugby…
@Grizzly: That’s because they fighting a Monnas in HJS drag…
@Grizzly: 2 3 Bere.
No one from Gimmies involved in the worst pillow fight ever.Class is not for sale.Like always the HJS bloggers didn’t disappoint…
@odie15: It is sad if you really believe in what you have posted. Mag niemand wat PRG ondersteun (ingesluit ‘n ene Bok) tog in die strik trap om hierop te antwoord nie. Almal weet wat die ware feite is.
@PRBoitjie: the issue started with giving the bird to Boishaai 150, then stealing the event you refused to play in. Roos followed that up by cheering each time Boishaai lost & ultimately the wonderful sportsmanship shown after beating Boishaai. The continuos reminder that Paarl Interschools is trivial in comparison to Grey vs Roos classic clash.
@PRondersteuner: Ja ek weet. PRG staan vir soveel meer as om afbrekend teenoor ander skole en hulle spelers, afrigters en ondersteuners te wees.
@PRBoitjie: Ai man. Daar is mos altyd een vlieg (of bok) in die salf!!!
@PRBoitjie: Ek het julle nou genoeg gas gegee, ons is nou weer vrinne.
@PRBoitjie: Kom ons noem dit eerder net n bietjie ‘banter’.
2 3 Grey
@PRondersteuner: Ja ek weet nie waar hierdie skielike kussinggeveg tussen PRG en HJS vandaan kom nie. Die onderskeie skole en veral die seuns het nog altyd net die grootste respek vir mekaar gehad – op en van die rugbyveld. Ek is verbaas die ondersteuners deel nie dieselfde sentiment nie. PRG het nie ‘n goeie naweek in Bloemfontein beleef nie en ja, ons ouderdomspanne het deur die jaar harde klippe gekou. Die talent is egter daar en ek weet die rugbykorps by PRG sal nie net terugsit dat die skool se trotse rugbykultuur verneder word nie. Daar wag ‘n wake-up call vir diegene wat dink PRG is teen die planke.
@PRondersteuner: Hoe gaan dit met die selfondersoek/introspeksie?
Dankie tog daar is nog 7 graad 11’s in die span om volgende jaar die bordjes teen Grey te verhang.
Ek hoor dat die wynplaas Allesverloren borg volgende jaar se wedstryd.
Nogals skerp.
@BoishaaiPa: Ek kom nou nie vir Paarlbok op nie. Ek dink ook hy is ‘n grootbek, maar die rede hoekom hy die 44-8 bly ophaal, is omdat Koedoebul nie kan ophou met 24/24 nie. Hoekom trek hy nie maar vir hom ‘n Grey trui aan nie? Hier by PRG is ons onder geen illusies oor die ander spanne nie. Teen HJS het PRG slegs 4 games gewen en teen Gim net 7.

@Smallies: Asb ou Smalbal kan jy asb n klagte lê dat ons van hierdie irriterende Monnas insittendes kan ontslae raak
Hulle dink net omdat hulle Grey so gereeld afstof hulle is virseker die beste
Ek hoor hul speel mekaar op WK volgende jaar
@Speartackle: ek dag ek is op tik
whoppppaaa
@Speartackle: no white smoke above Paarlrock yet!
Hier is individue wat n bespotting van hierdie forum maak
Kan hulle asb verwyder word
@Justin Roos: virseker!
Tiger
@BoishaaiPa: did someone say Roos lost this weekend? And the hockey too?
@PaarlBok: Ou grootbek.. Kry eers n avg van 26-7 wen oor drie jaar oor HJS voor jy begin strontpraatjies verkoop.. Jy begin nou klink soos n one hit wonder.. Fokus op een game om aandag af te trek.
Ek voel nou so effe geaffekteer met al die effies
@Stofberg von Molentottie: uhhhhhhhm Stoffberg het twee ffe in…
@Smallies: Stofpoep of Stofberg……PRG se sterre sou die septer geswaaibhet

@Spuitpoep von Molenkop: dis nou jou weergawe ou spuitpoep…
Nee ou Smalbal
PRG se sterre baie meer gemis
@PaarlBok: good to see you like maths! 24/24 = 100%
@Spuitpoef von Molendorff: PRG kan hulle sterre dank dat GCB se SA skole spelers nie daar was nie…
GCB kan hulle sterre dank dat PRG se SA Skole spelers nie daar was
@KoedoeBul: wat weird is is dat niemand hom raak gesien het nie…
@KoedoeBul: hy is n yster en n baie smart outjie, hy sou in enige top skool van pretoria tot die kaap sy merk gemaak het…
@Smallies: Daardie senter het op sy eie, vanself besluit om HJS toe te kom. Ek weet nie wat die situasie is met julle speler nie. Baie krediet dat hy in so n goeie kaptein ont’pop’ het.
2 3 Grey!
@KoedoeBul: ek merk op julle een senter van volgende jaar was die jaar nog in PRG of kyk ek verkeerd??Wat is jou punt… Ons geluk dat Griquas hom nooit raak gesien het nie, was nooit in hulle Grant Khomo span van 2016 nie, Kyk waar is hy nou met die regte blootstelling…
@Smallies: Ek merk op julle kaptein was graad 10 nog in landboudal, of kyk ek verkeerd.
@Speartackle: hulle jol nie vrede nie sa daar is dalk n buitekans….
@Speartackle: Bush, his english version already gave us the news.
BOG just messaged me and said if Grey goes unbeaten again next year, which he thinks they’ll do, he’ll rejoin the forum
Well Done to Monument on their Grand Slam
I feel like Kudu wors
Wonder how Wilson’s trial went today?
@KoedoeBul: Unbeaten, not nr 1…correction. Still terrible. 20 years must feel like an eternity.
@PaarlBok: jy noggie n mofstok blog gekry nie?
@PaarlBok: Yawn…get me the stats the last decade, then we can talk. You guys were bound to win. I read somewhere that PRG were nr1 in the country more than 2 decades ago, Spear wasn’t even born then.
PRG has gone from a one team school to a no team school. Must be a horrible feeling.
@Bush: He’ll need to get more then 44 to beat the 0. Got 8 = 18%. Thats a failure for any academic school.
Thats Kudu piss all over.
@Bush: A kudu is also known as a grey ghost…..is Spear grey already, I doubt it very much.
@KoedoeBul: I think he a wolf in Koedoebul skin?
Only a spear can make a whale wash out like this.
Where is Spear??
2 3 Grey
@KoedoeBul: Check this out. Don’t know if Spear was involved or just at Thirsty Whale:

@Bush: Anything to at least get a 1, a duck looks terribly aweful. Upside though is, it can only get better.
@KoedoeBul: You only win if you get more than 28 points.
@Bush: Will I at least score more than 0/24 for my wors?
@Bush: everyone knows woolies wors is quality stuff
@KoedoeBul: With a name like yours I think Grey Bloem Blare Wors is high on your menu.
@odie15: I only eat Bush wors.
@Smallies: Big Brag was Woensdagaand. Die spanne wat Vrydag gespeel het, het al Don oggend 03:45 vertrek.
Ek sal uitvind oor daai seun.
@PaarlBok: Ja, maar die hokkie was nie ‘n whitewash soos Sat nie.
@Honey Badger: do you like Woollies wors?
@PaarlBok: Maak dit saak of dit in die laaste minuut of 12e minuut is?
Sover ek weet is ‘n wedstryd eers verby wanneer die tyd verby is!
@KoedoeBul: Spear, you can’t win virseker in a HJS jersey.
@PRondersteuner: weet julle of die seun wat by die tweede span seer gekry het OK is?
@PRondersteuner: Die hokkie het die eerste keer die dekade verloor.
in die laaste minuut. 
@PRondersteuner: ja maar Donderdag is mos Big brag en sing songs dag, ook deel van die tradiesie
@Smallies:
Ek dink PRG sal enigiets toelaat om goed te doen in Bloemfontein!!
@PRondersteuner: jy praat mos nou van skool bank
@Smallies: Mmmmmm. Vrydag was goed vir PRG. Saterdag nie. Miskien moet al die spanne maar oor 2 jaar die Donderdag vroeg ry!!
@PRondersteuner: gholf ook tennis ook
@KoedoeBul: En bergfietsry en waterpolo!!
@PaarlBok: ek was nie in Grey nie, afkomstig vanaf die oosrand… ???So ek het n geldige verskoning
@Smallies: Lyk my Grey is n rugby skool?
@Smallies: jy het nou regtig soos jou gat gespel smallies ???
@PRondersteuner: Ek sien julle skaak en debat het gewen. Mooi man.
@apple: Yes, but not all the boys play rugby at PRG. They even had a table tennis team this weekend in Bloemfontein!!
@Smallies: 2 3 Wolramme.
@KoedoeBul: nee mnr marlow boks in alla iuderdims groepe ver bokand hulle gewings klas
@Smallies: Weereens n een span skool, sit.
@KoedoeBul: marlow met 230 seuns het HJS geklop 4 jaar terug…. Its not the size of the dog in the fight its the fight in the dog that matters??
@apple: Ek stem saam, eintlik moet n skool soos HJS nooit n wedstryd wen teen Grey of Paul Roos nie. HJS is omtrent 880 seuns, PRG en GCB is los oor die 1000.
@BoishaaiPa: HJS is n akademiese skool en klaar.
@PRondersteuner: and i have many paul roos friends that were moaning whilst paul roos was on its long losing streak against the paarl schools. gym needs credit for competing against schools like grey and paul roos that have more than double its boys in numbers and even more so boland landbou that has only a third of those schools.
@PRondersteuner: Ek praat sommer van oor die algemeen..Jy moet maar vir CharlesZA vra wie is wie en wie is weg PR toe…Ek steur my nie veel aand sulke details nie, maar die beginsels is maar dieselde…HJS is mos maar eintlik akademiese skool wat so bietjie kan rugby speel.!
@KoedoeBul: Ek dink jy moet so bietjie bykom. PRG het verlede jaar vir Ryno Combrinck aangestel as hoof van rugby. Tov HJS nie ‘n rugbyskool nie. Asb man. Ek ken meer HJS old boys as PRG old boys. Sê vir hulle dat HJS nie ‘n rugbyskool is nie!!!
@BoishaaiPa: Praat jy van die paar spelers wat die laaste 4 wedstryde vir PRG gespeel het en waarvan net 2 die laaste 2 wedstryde o15a gespeel het?
So van die os op die Jas..Premier Interschools saai weer volgende jaar die game op Markotter uit..Oom Danie Malan van Allesverloren het aangebied om die game te sponsor
@BoishaaiPa: Paul Roos koop mos nie, bly in jou baan. Jy gaan slapende honde wakker maak.
@PRondersteuner: As jy nou so van opbou praat…sluit dit nou die 0/15 spelers in wat julle by Stellenberg gaan haal het?..en n paar ander uit Durbanville?
@PRondersteuner: HJS was nog nooit n rugbyskool nie.
@PRondersteuner: Julle moet daardie kannetjies wat so met die vlae rondhardloop, dalk buitevelde toe stuur.
@PRondersteuner: Goeie stats, nogsteeds al 24 games verloor.
Wie is die hoof van rugby,die naam/van lui nie n klokkie nie.
@KoedoeBul: Hoeveel hokkie wedstryde het julle vanjaar teen PRG gewen. En tennis, waterpolo, ens??? PRG is nie ‘n “rugbyskool” soos HJS nie!! Daar speel meer seuns rugby by Oakdale as by PRG. PRG kry (koop)
ook nie ‘n klomp van verlede jaar se 0/13 CW spelers nie. Verlede jaar se o14a spannetjie het 2 wedstryde gewen. Vanjaar het die o15a spannetjie nog net teen Gim, HJS en Grey verloor. Wie weet. Volgende jaar is hulle dalk onoorwonne!!! 2014 se PRG 1ste span het net teen die 2 Grey spanne verloor, Maar in hul o14 jaar het hulle 1 wedstryd gewen!! Ons bou hulle op hier. Ons sit nie met oogklappe aan en staar ons blind teen die 1ste span se uitslae nie. Ons voel die pyn op die buitevelde. Net so terloops. Die Bituas het ook vir Gim en Grey gewen!! Hulle het net 2 wedstryde verloor vanjaar. Gee vir Combrinck (hoof van rugby) kans om sy ding te doen hier. Dis maar sy 1ste jaar.
@BoishaaiPa: Ek is bewus daarvan dat geskiedkundige faktore altyd in ag geneem moet word as mens na stats kyk – maar dis so lekker as die stats sonder daai lens jou skietgoed gee.
@Rainier: Andre T is back!
@BoishaaiPa: Grey PE reken Jan Serfontein is ‘hulle’ springbok. Ek wonder waar Marcel van der Merwe in die dilema homself bevind.
@Rainier: Kyk..Paul Roos self was nie eers in Paul Roos nie…Hy was in HJS Stellenbosch..
…En die hoeveelheid 1 one hit wonders wat daar voor 1929 was wat toets rugby gespeel het, het ook maar mooi bygedra tot hulle nommers..Oubaas Markotter het sommer so paar manne bymekaar gesleep by Maties en dit is die volgende Springbokspan..meestal dan Paul Roos en Bishops old boys!.. 
Stats is n snaakse ding..Jy kan enige iets bywys wat jou kan bevoordeel indien jy die regte angle speel. Daar is ook 10 spelers wat deur ander skole ge-eien word wat by hulle matrikuleer het…Maar dit is seker elke skool se reg om te claim wie hy wil..solank hy in die gange geloop het!
@KoedoeBul: Niks op aarde is onaantasbaar of ewig nie, was ‘n swak woordkeuse.
En ek het al ‘n blog “stalker” gehad, moet jy ook asseblief net nie begin nie.
@KoedoeBul: Ek dink nie HJS ondersteuners moet oor aantal Springbokke met PR ondersteuners gesprek voer nie, julle kruit is nat wat dit aan betref. Praat maar liewers SA Skole verteenwoordigers, maar dan nie met die Gim manne nie.
@Rainier: Een span rugby skool, ons moet almal waak teen die euwel!
@Rainier: Ek sien jou ‘onaantasbaar’ het nou ewe skielik ‘sterk’ geword, passop ek hou jou fyn dop.
@PaarlBok: Nou is jy net besig om hulle punt te bewys as jy jou op 1 uitslag moet roem.
Sad.
@Rainier: Hulle reken sommer Cabous is ook een van hulle bokke, die man het nie eers matriek in PRG geskryf nie. Ons sal daardie lys moet oudit.
@KoedoeBul: Ons het net n paar gewen.
Ons het egter die belangste een met n rekord telling gewen.
Wat help dit jy het 40 Craven Week u13s van die vorige jaar en net 15 kan in die A span speel?
@KoedoeBul: Los vir Grey maar uit julle Weskaap kussing geveg uit. Ek dink in elk geval Paul Roos het sedert 1906 steeds amper soveel Springbokke as die Paarl skole saam, so die skool se rugby tradisies is sterk..
@PaarlBok:Hoeveel wedstryde het julle teen HJS vanjaar gewen (rugby op Markotter)
@BoishaaiPa: 44-8 is n goeie drag slae.
The only remaining question now is who can legitimately claim the #2 spot Roos or Glenwood?
@BoishaaiPa: Ek hoor jy is die STATS guru op SBR. Indien moontlik sal die uitslae tussen PG,PRG,HJS en GREY onderskeidelik n interessante storie vertel.
@PaarlBok: Ek dink jy is die enigste een in n box hier rond..Die blou truie was al heel seisoen doenig en jy moet maar net oor dit kom..n verloor teen PR sit ons nou defnitief nie in sak en as nie, maar blykbaar is die Grey verloor vir jou nogal erg want jy bly nou maar fokus op die wenne teen die Paarl skole. Jy is reg, die interskole is heel anders..Altwee skole se spanne wen darem so paar games.
@PaarlBok: Baie beslis, maar jy moet besef dit was seker weer tyd of hoe, na die powere rekord die laaste dekade.
@KoedoeBul: PRG moet seker iets regdoen om HJS 44-8 pakslae te gee.
@Kiwi: Jy het die taal nogal vinnig geleer sien ek
Mooi so
@PaarlBok: n handjievol wenne per jaar en oor die afgelope 25jaar teen die Paarl se skole is eenvoudig nie goed genoeg nie meneer. Gegewe julle getalle en voedingsbronne is verbetering ononderhandelbaar.
@BoishaaiPa: Die Paarl se Blou truielotte wat so stil was na hul pakslae vroeer teen PRG , is skielik all over the place.
Die interskole teen Grey College is nie teen Paarl Gim nie, dis iets heeltemal anders.
Ek weet dis moeilik om uit die Paarl box te kyk. Been there, done that got the TShirt.
@PaarlBok: Moet maar so stekie teen Paarl skole weer inkry ne?..Dit was omtrent tyd dat PR weer n slag n wen kry teen Gim of HJS of hoe?…Hoe het dit met julle hokkie gegaan daar in Bloem?
@Rainier:
@PaarlBok: Om 24 uit 24 wedstryde te verloor moet die gevaarligte laat flikker. Ek is seker daarvan dat PRG nie ook as n een span skool bekend wil staan nie. Nee man, julle het darem genoeg seuns wat rugby speel om beter te presteer. Ek het geen idee wie in beheer is van Paul Roos rugby nie, maar selfondersoek is dringend nodig. Ek kan my net indink hoe somber die atmosfeer in die saal vanoggend moet wees.
@PaarlBok: die oersoon wT PRG wil afskryf oor saterdag sal n reuse fout maak….
PRG het oor die laaste hekkie geval maar 2018 was n uitstekende jaar. Op die einde gaan als nie net om wen nie ,maar meer om die seuns hul volle potensiaal te ontwikkel en te bereik. Die jaar se span het aantreklike rugby gespeel en self saterdag hulself onder druk gesit in die eerste helfte deur uit hul kwart gebied die bal te probeer dra ten spyte dat hul die wind van agter gehad het. Hulle het ook n paar keer vir die kantlyn gegaan ipv pale. Dit was die verskil op die einde tussen wen en verloor. Krediet vir PRG se afrigting span wat volhou het met hul spel patroon, die rugby wat opgedis was heel jaar was uitstekend.
Die pakslae wat PRG die Paarl lot uitgedeel het in 2018 maak op vir al die verlore teen Grey. Nieteenstaande van GEEN span wat gewen het teen Grey is ek baie seker dat PRG se rugby weer in 2019 n krag sal wees.
@Kiwi: Strange, I always associated NZ with their strong women’s rugby program.
@Rainier: If anyone had a choice why would they do that to themselves?..
Die enigste ligpunt vir Paul Roos saterdag is sekerlik Damian Willemse wat bok geword het.
@Rainier: boys schools like we have in nz is more the norm when associated with rugby
@Kiwi: Welcome, you could also have chosen a Paarl Gim jersey…
@Wondermaar: is this a record and new 1000 point bench mark
As ek reg tel Grey college oor 1000 punte en paul roos so 250 vir rugby dag.
good day all
I am new to this site
reside in paarl so i decided to support the local team
congrats to the team from the grey college with a witewash over paul roos
i assume this is a record and has never happened before
@JPS_10: Mooi affies, julle moet net in graad 10, 11, 12 so paar leemtes aanvul vir eerstespan , dan is dit dalk net moontlik dat julle ook, saan met die GROOT HONDE KAN BLAF??
@JPS_10: vir een of ander rede bring affies dit maar net teen Grey…
@Wondermaar: Affies 17/28 gewen op Grey in 2017 en 14 elk op Affies in 2018. Affies het in 1998,99,00,01,02,04 en 08 meer wedstryde gewen as verloor teen Grey.Sedert 2015 het Affies elke jaar in totaal meer punte aangeteken op die dag as Grey.
@PRBoitjie: 9 van die spelers wat gister op die veld was is in graad 11, ek stem, klip harde span met baie talent vir vlg jaar! Weer geluk aan Grey, dit was seker maar nie vir ons bestem nie, dit was egter n great game en dis al wat ons kon voor vra!
@Riempies: ek vat net stadeon of casbah burgers, geen ander brand nie
Ai ek skuld n paar manne n burger…
Dink ek kan SAS blameer…
@PRBoitjie: die ou wat julle wil afskryf oor n freak of nature result maak n helse fout my maat
Terug in die Kaap na ‘n moeilike naweek in Bloemfontein. GCB het maar net weer eens hulle staal in Bloemfontein gewys. Dit was klipharde kompetisie. Verseker lê daar harde werk vir PRG voor, maar vir die doemprofete wat PRG wil afskryf- watch this space. 2019 gaan groot wees…………
I think Paul Roos did extremely well away from home. Match could have gone either way. Well done GCB. Well deserved and good one for the record books. I believe the GCB coaches are all primarily teachers?
@dammetjie: stem saam met jou
Ek dink wegspanne sal altyd swakker vaar tydens sulke wedstryde. Kinders in ‘n bus oor 1100 km is ‘n nagmerrie. Hulle eet vreemd, slaap nie genoeg nie. Vang allerhande nonsens aan. Dieselfde geld vir Grey as hulle weg speel. Dit geld ook vir plaaslike wedstryde. Kinders floreer in bekende omstandighede.
@Wondermaar: Ek het nie statistiek nie, so ek sal maar saam met jou wonder. Hier is egter my opinie. Die sukses op so ‘n groot interskole word baie bepaal deur wie weg en wie tuis speel. Grey in die Paarl is baie minder suksesvol oor al die wedstryde, maar dit sal my nie verbaas as GCB wel meer wegwedstryde wen as wat hulle tuiswedstryde verloor in Bfn nie – die velde is hard, dis koud en die lug is dun. Affies doen gewoonlik beter as die Kaap skole, hulle is gewoond aan die toestande en dis baie nader.
@Wondermaar: ek dink affies HJS en PRG handhaaf 50% min of meer gister was in my oe n freak of nature
@Wondermaar: 2018, Grey vs Paarl Boys: played 28, won 14 lost 14.
Paarl Boys vs Paul Roos 2018: played 28, Boishaai win 24, loose 4.
Wat sê julle Grey manne watter skool het die laaste paar jaar op derby dae meer rugbywedstryde as Grey gewen? Is daar so n skool?
@Grey Brak: Hey, just because GCB’s season is finished it does not mean everyone has a break.
@Grey Brak: Agree 100% well done GCB
@Grey Brak: wat die seisoen nog merkwaardi maak is die feit dat dit net Waterkloof, Selborne, en, PRG is wat tuis games was, die res was weg
A remarkable achievement from the class of 2018! Well done to all involved and a great reward for all the time and effort that had been put in.
Seeing the results of the past few matches, the future of Grey rugby bodes well. There were eight grade 11 boys playing for the 1st team yesterday as well as an additional eight players in the 2nd team. The u16s have come on in leaps and bounds and the u15 team has ended the season unbeaten.
Enjoy the well deserved break to all school boy rugby followers!
