    @PRondersteuner: Ek dink die argument is dat die Cherries GCB se sterkste teenstand in Bfn is. Wat waar is, die 2 spanne het een jaar in die finaal van die Stadsbeker gespeel.

    As ek reg onthou het Irawas ook die Shimlas een jaar geklop, lyk my dis ‘n Rosestad ding.

    @Dixon’s: Down the line it’s surely Affies and Boishaai. I think Maritzburg College might have been a similar opponent prior to 1990. College could get there again. Like if you asked a GOB who ours is, these days it’s Westville BUT on history it’s DHS. Oldest rivalry is with Hilton & most games played vs College (175 games). I don’t think many schools can claim close to that number of games vs one opponent bar the Southern Suburb oldies..

    @Smallies:Die skool met beste rekord teen Grey is Rondebosch…tussen 1953 en 1978 9 keer gespeel..Grey wen 3 met 1 draw en Rbosch wen 5…So hulle is enigste skool met positiewe resultate teen Grey!.

    @Smallies: Ek is jammer, maar solank dit nie met vol spanne gespeel word nie is dit nie vir my die belangrikste wedstryd van die jaar nie. Ek verstaan die “next man up” ethos, maar hierdie is nie dieselfde nie. Ek hoop common sense sal die situasie beredder.

    A few close ones here in the Noordvaal. Think the only upset was Helpmekaar vs Noordheuwel. The odds were 50/50 but Helpies doing it comfortably with 2 yellow cards at the end. It will be sad if Noordheuwel get “NONE” wins against the top schools in Noordvaal but if you print it on youre t-shirts then you must own it.

    @Dixon’s: in order of games accross the board I think Boishaai and Affies games won and lost usually are very close as can be seen again this weekend at Boishaai ….with the home team usually taking the honors, in terms if 1st teams Paar gim has the best record but the game to win is the last one against PRG

    @BoishaaiPa: thats the thing about and proper rival. it goes deeper than results. it skirts the line between hatred and respect for your opponent. i would love to see historical stats for GCB against individual opponents

    with regards to PRG-GCB rivalry its such a shame that the SA under 18 games always interferes with atht fixture. surely the schools can plan better for that not to be an issue

    @Strepie: I dont think it is about the results as such..against Grey everyone has a dismal record!…having several old Greys and PR contacts it is clear that at the moment in their view the last game of season against each other is their most important one. It is the one game both teams are most eager to win. That is at least the feedback I got from the old boys I know.

    @Dixon’s: ..it cannot be PRG as they have not played each other that often if you go by history.
    Record for Paul Roos, on the rugby field, is abysmal (against GCB).
    Currently Paarl Boys or Affies must be the strongest competitors on the rugby field.

    @Dixon’s: In ancient days GCB had annual fixtures against Grey High and Queens, playing one at home and one away every year. Has the privilege of watching a very good GCB team losing at home to Darryl Cullinan – he was a brilliant 10 and had a blinder with an assist by Gary Loest.

    These days it must be Affies, was at the game last year and the attendance was amazing and the competition tough.

    @Bush: Bushy, I do not want to talk “past”, I just want to talk now. I cannot imagine a SA without my very much contributing English compatriots, with whom I was schooled from pre-primary, through UCT et al, with whom I served in defense forces, partied, whom my siblings married, whole soetsappige story. I most certainly do not want to talk atrocities. Extremely disingenuous and contra-productive and almost always irrelevant. Learned enough of that growing up in a Yiddish/German/Boer household. Guilt by proxy, more SAn concept than elsewhere it seems, is one of the most intensely dumb notions on Earth. I am just guarding against the fallacy that we cannot do the groundbreaking work Prof Japie van Zyl did for NASA (Google it) and Prof Floris van der Merwe did for the European Space Agency without being educated in our own language, which is more under pressure than it was in 1901. No harm or insult intended, apologies, was just in a moerse big hurry. I will always remember you as the man who taught me about “zarmies”.

    A quick question for GCB supporters, Who do you consider Greys biggest rival? i know Grey has long standing interschool clashes with Boishaai, PRG, Grey High and Affies. but if you had to pick 1?

    I know Boishaai would consider Gim their biggest rivalry. Affies? Would it PBHS or Grey? Grey High are GCBs namesake school but they have very longstanding regional rivals? GCB have no local rivals that im aware of.
    that just leaves PRG who dont ha

    Baie geluk aan Grey College.
    Spesiale eerstespan, dit is n plesier om te kyk hoe julle rugby speel.
    Boishaai het heeltyd ‘catch-up’ rugby gespeel.
    Boishaai doen elke week vir my beter – lynstane nog n kwaai hoofpyn.
    Bly om te sien ons het 16 uit 28 gewen teen Grey op die rugbyveld.
    Dit is ongehoord in vergeleke met 10-20 jaar terug..

    Affies really put on a show of great rugby. I’m not just talking about the first team where I thought the Affies back line was brilliant on the day. Throughout the day they played excellent rugby with well drilled forwards who support the ball carrier and then backs that are not afraid to let the ball do the work with some scintillating tries scored by the outside backs. Well done Affies – your rugby program is clearly working.

    @Deon: Thought this was a rugby blog and not a history blog. Elon is a legend in Florida US of A. Having revitalised NASA. Chatting historical politics becomes a little brutal as the past atrocities are always brought up, yes that is history which certain clans are not proud of (English Clan)Then what about the atrocities that took place between 50’s to the first and free elections in S.A. Then what about the present. Afrikaans schools have always been well disciplined and still are. Which they do bring to the rugby field and sometimes that can make them quite predictable. Rarely playing an unorthodox style always stay within their structures. One good thing about that, is the very few penalties

    @Djou: Ok..verstaan nog nie heeltemal hoe dit lei na hoe ek baie van myself dink nie maar dit daar gelaat. So gepraat van wanindrukke en feite. Daai persoon wat so gou was om lynregter se fout uit te wys by 0/15’s het hopelik later ook n skermskoot gestuur van BH se duidelike drie wat nie deur skeidsregter toegeken was nie. Lynregters en skeidsregters maak foute…hulle het nie tegnologie op skolevlak tot hulle beskikking nie. So gou as mense dit in hulle koppe kan kry en die kleingeestige uitwysings stop kan mens aanbeweeg. Vir elke fout wat een ou wys kan ek dalk twee na die anderkant wys…wedstryde wat close is kon e ige kant toe gaan…its the rub of the green.it is what it is. Its schoolboyrugby.

    @Asterix: sover net by senior rugby.

    Sodra jy die bal binne jou eie 50m skop sodat hy ten minste eenkeer hop, en dan binne die opponente se 22m laat uitrol, dan is dit jou lynstaan. Hulle doen dit met die hoop dat spanne hulle vleuels diep sal hou, sodat daar meer spasie is en spanne meer hardloop rugby kan speel.

    @Bush: Hi Bushy. Wonder where the Buccaneer is nowadays? What about Elon Musk? Not sure I follow. Please expand, very curious. and sincere apologies if I get your reply wrong. Brilliant man, one of if not the greatest businessman ever, brilliant scientist, but far from the best SA produced, disproportionately from Afrikaans only public schools, or in the case of our greatest ever, Prof Hendrik van der Bijl, school on the back of a wagon as his parents’ farm has been burned to the ground. Or the world’s sixth nuclear arsenal, or Alberts and van Biljon perfection of liquefaction of coal, heart transplants, first combat drone (Soeker/Seeker 10), enough billionaires. One Musk whose father has an interesting language/own-ancestry theory/story. Most top scientist in the world can speak English. It is a great weapon in the arsenal, but right now Pretoria Boys and KES will improve their sport and academics by going dual medium, not Affies. As soon any any school or university or town in SA it soon goes English only is “de-Afrikaansed”, standards drop dramatically. Was the most successful science and tech language in Africa, over English, Portugues and French, so why remove it?

    Looking at the results I got a lot plain wrong. I’m very surprised at the 2 DHS losses. Diamantveld and Durban High School both up against motivated opponents who upset the form book, especially Noordkaap.
    @star totally called Maritzburg College result, Helpmekaar on the rise (called this one) Transvalia too…
    Wynberg…I thought they would dominate Bishops, but there you go, Bishops fans must be happy.
    Respect to the mighty Paarl Boys who might have encountered a hurricane but lived to tell the tale and create some counter storm…and to Paarl Gim who are going pretty well for a supposedly “ordinary year”….
    And lastly also, respect to St Stithians…in the context of their season that was an impressive and timely performance to take down their rivals on derby day…on that same note, if Saints ever decided to recruit again (long term) they have the facilities, boarding houses, and means to rebuild their rugby program to rival anyone. I wonder if they would hire Albert van der Berg…

    @Djou: Hierdie gaan ‘n lang vervelige persoonlike post wees so die ander bloggers kan asb maar net skip, Djou jy moet maar in stukke lees.
    Ons gaan eers more nog na Menlo se opedag en dan sal ons almal mooi om ‘n tafel sit en besluit waarna toe hy gaan. Kan nie regtig verkeerd kies nie soos reeds baie gese.

    As jy my vra vir wie ek ondersteun ek ondersteun die 4/5 skole in pta en hou baie van grey (respek al vir baie jare). Ek respekteer die Kaap se skole baie en geniet om vir hulle te kyk as dit nie reen weer is nie, want die hardloop rugby wat hulle kan speel is gewoonlik iets besonders. Ek kom egter van die dae van Tuks teen Maties op Loftus, en bulle teen WP so gaan altyd sukkel om vir ‘n kaapse skool te skreeu as hulle teen ‘n pta skool speel. Ek ken Menlo goed my dogter was paar jaar terug en het ‘n sagte plek vir hulle en glo beste skool vir ‘n meisie in pta, maar nie noodwendig vir seun of my swun nie, en my oom/peetpa was in affies, so ek ken hierdie skole redelik goed, ek het respek vir die afrigter korps van Garsfontein en wat hulle doen en my seun het toevallig bietjie interaksie met hulle gehad en was baie beindruk, Waterkloof se nuwe hoof beindruk my regtig baie en wat hy doen, Ons keuse is egter nie net oor rugby nie, my seun kan bietjie speel maar nie noodwendig die beste nie. Hy het dinsdag by die finale BB craven week proewe gespeel en nie span gekry nie (die 2 spelers bo hom is defnitief beter as hy en verdien dit 100%). Hy ook een van daai wat speel omdat hy dit geniet.

    So vir wie ons MEER volgende jaar gaan ondersteun is nog oop.

    And that u.15 try when the player scoring was clearly out (as the circulating photos indicate) – not called by the “unbiased” assistant ref – just confirms the need for professional personnel at junior level.

    @Roger: Absolutely no reason for Affies to go dual medium. Pretoria Boys High is right next to Affies, so no need.
    But, when asking that question, and if you want to be fair, you must ask whether Pretoria Boys High will consider going dual medium.
    It cuts both ways!
    I am also interested in whether KES VII will consider going dual medium.

    @Wonder: Dit het vir my gelyk of die menlo spelers by meeste ouderdomme bang is om ‘n besluit te neem, en hulle afronding het daaronder gelei. Ek skat nou, maar dink by die o/14 het menlo seker 75% gebied gehad en 70% balbesit maar niks daarmee gemaak nie. Garsfontein al hulle kanse weer baie goed gebruik. Selfs as mens na die 1ste span game kyk, menlo was 3 keer op Garsfontein se doelyn en verloor dan die bal en gee 3 driee aan Garsfontein af met die teenaanvalle en onderskep, dit is omtrent n 30 punte verskil. Moet byse dink nie garsfontein het ooit uit 3de rat gekom nie, nie dat dit nodig was nie. Menlo amper weer darem beter gelyk.

    Sien waterkloof en Nelspruit was ook redelike naby wedstryd, lyk my geen maklike games in hierdie reeks nie.

If you look at their youth teams on Next Gen rankings and compare them with Affies, then u14 is 23 vs 5, u15 48 vs 4 and u16 33 vs 1. But yet, come u19, it is a wonderful alchemy. Hats off.

    @Wonder:ek het die game op die app gekyk tussen EGJ en Marais Viljoen. Marais Viljoen het nie terug gestaan vir EGJansen nie. Dit was ‘n baie harde game met twee rooi kaarte. Een aan elke kant. MVJ was ook so te sé die hele game voor. EGJ se baie hanterings foute het hul op die agtervoet gehou maar EGJ kon daarin slaag om in laaste paar minute die voortou te neem na volgehoue druk op doellyn. MVJ ook in die laaste paar minute aanval op aanval geloods, het gedink hulle gaan dalk score om die game tw wen, maar hanteringsfout gee aan EGJ die bal, die speler van EGJ tel op en hardloop reg deur en druk drie en is baie opgewonde oor die lekker drie. Maar die drie was nie toegeken nie, weet nie hoekom nie want daar was geen kommentaar nie. Skeidsregter blaas toe die eindfluit en EGJansen kan bly wees om die harde game te wen met 5 punte. EGJ het te veel hanteeringsfoute gemaak en moet daaraan werk. Marais Viljoen het baie lus gelyk vir rugby op hul tuisveld en EGJ onder baie druk geplaas die hele game deur. Exciting game kan ek wel sé.

    @Smallies: Hoekom is dit nie wettige obstruksie as een span se skrum sterker as die ander is, en die 8ste man hou hom voor sy voete tot hy oor die doellyn is, en druk dan nie? Hoe verdedig jy daarteen? (Ek praat nou van buite skolerugby, waar jy na 1.5m moet stop.)

    Die maul is dieselfde fisiese konsep, is dit nie?

    @Smallies: die maklikste manier om n maul te verdedig of heeltemal te stop, is om die lynstaan bal te wen.

    Vir n span om te maul is nie net n given nie. Die hakker moet reguit ingooi en sy springer vind, die junpers en lifters moet hulle werk op die grond en in die lig doen, dan moet die bal geskuif word weg van die sack af, en dan moet hulle begin dryf. As almal dit so maklik kon doen dan sou daar neer driee gedruk wees van n maul af.

    Dit is ook onregverdig dat spanne spelers het wat n strafskop deur die pale kam skop van 50m en maklike 3 punte kan kry, weereens dit is nie net so maklik nie dan sou geen skopper ooit mis nie.

    N drop goal is n maklike 3 punte, amper niemand doen dit meer nie (daar wen Munster met een) want ook dit is nie so maklik nie. As n span goed kan maul en driee kan druk daarmee, well done.

    Ander spanne soos Garsies kan onderskep en counter driee druk. Well done.

    @Wonder: @Smallies ens. Rugby is ‘n eenvoudige game wat almal (reelmakers) ingewikkeld maak. Ek stem saam dat die maul wettige obstruksie is en dit is baie maklik om dit met ‘n baie eenvoudige reel so te verander dat beide die pro-en anti maulers gelukkig sal wees. ‘n Enkele speler van die opposisie moet toegelaat word om, om die maul te hardloop en die speler (gewoonlik die haker) wat aan die agterkant van die maul die bal dra te tekkel of die bal af te vat. Dit sal die aanvallende span baie mooier laat dink waar hulle die bal gaan dra binne die maul omte verhoed dat daai opposisie speler omkom om die baldraer uit te haal. As die bal dan dieper in die maul gedra word gee dit die res van die verdedigende span ook dan ‘n beter kans om by die bal uit te kom. Dit sal die maul net meer regverdig maak vir beide die aanvallende en verdedigende spanne.

    @Smallies: Gister se 0/14a game tussen Menlo en Garsies. Ek gaan sit daar tussen die ondersteuners en kyk die game. Menlo kry telkemale aanvallende lynstaan naby Garsies se doellyn,as hulle wel die lynstaan wen (paar keer skeef ingegooi) kry hulle nie gedruk. Menlo pappas raak kwaad want die bal word nie wyd gespeel as die geleentheid daar is nie, te veel klem gelê op druk van maul af.

    Na die game sê een pappa:”Menlo het die game weg gegooi, was hulle eie vyande, kon nie van maul af score nie”. Wou net so bietjie konteks gee.

    @Smallies: Ons almal hou van wen, dis juis hoekom die maul so baie gebruik, want dis maklik om so punte aan te teken. Dit beteken nie ek hou van die maul nie. Tans laat die reëls dit toe om wettige obstruksie te pleeg.

    Garsies maul ook, dit beteken nie ek ondersteun dit nie. Om jou vraag die antwoord, as Garsies dan maul en so die game wen sal ek bly wees vir die wen maar die maul bly sleg want dis is obstruksie.

    @Roger: I can most definitly say NO. Again, with Afrikaans Hoër Seunskool, Afrikaans Hoër Meisieskool, Pretoria High School for Girls and Pretoria Boys High we are looking at 4 schools within 2km of one another who caters for plus minus 6000 children (2500 Afrikaans and 3500 English – exclusively), it really is not necessary to go dual medium. Al four schools have very rich traditions in their languages and are proud of the fact that their history and the culture of the school is based on language. Especially Affies and AHMP because they were the first Afrikaans High Schools in Transvaal. With respect, I don’t see Affies ever going dual medium, and if they ever do (have to), that will be the day Affies goes private. Also take note that Pretoria has the biggest Afrikaans population outside of Cape Town, hence the need for big Afrikaans Schools (Affies, AHMP, Waterkloof, Menlo, Garsfontein, Wonderboom, Oos-Moot, Montana, Centurion, Eldoreign, Zwartkop etc.). Pretoria also has more than enough big English schools (PBHS, ST’ALBANS, CBC, St Mary’s DSG Pretoria, Pretoria Girls High, Crawford College Pretoria, Woodhill College and Cornwell High College). So again, to answer you. A big resounding NO.

Does anybody ask the Deutsche School in Pretoria to make provision for Afrikaans or English kids for that matter? NO is the answer, if you are not prepared to study in German, tough! Does anybody ask the Chinese school in Pretoria to accommodate Afrikaans or English boys? NO is the answer again, if you not prepared to study in Mandaryn, tough! So WHY are these bloody language questions asked about Affies then!! And don’t tell me the Deutsche Scool and Chinese Schools are private schools and Affies not, because ALL schools fall under the SAME South African constitution

    @Roger: you are correct in your assumption that Affies is still the strongest rugby school I’m the region. They will play with homegrown players through their year groups from Grade 8 until Grade 12, and should it appear that a certain year is not a strong one, that is thecard they are dealt and will work with! Finish en Klaar!
    That being said, Rasimo Sambo was one of their stars last year that came through the age groups since Grade 8 and have been contracted by the Sharks.
    Since Affies is a government school all South Africans of all colours are welcome to enroll, but it appears that the kids of colour for some sort of an unknown reason my prefer to enroll with co-eds schools, in fact they appreciate the co-ed schools in Pretoria so much that they transfer from Cape Town School…the 8th Wonder of the World

    @Kaya 85: Affies way of playing has nothing to do with Garsfontein, but rather a smaller pack of forwards than last year, hence more emphasis on mobility than brute strenght! According to me they are also attempting to move away from Blue Bulls Stampkar Rugby to a more attractive brand, so behold the years which they will have big mobile forwards and free running backs. The time is closer that one may think

    @BoishaaiPa: Ek het ‘n teorie daaroor. Behalwe miskien Davids se drie vir die Stormers vandag, het die ander almal gevolg uit ongestrukture spel. Daar is skole wat ‘n Dyamani sal drop oor die aangee agter sy rug vir Nel se drie, of Libbok vir daai breek uit sy kwartgeied,ens.

    Ek dink nie dis toevallig dat daai tipe flair en onvoorspelbaarheid kom uit gemeenskappe wat minder ingestel is op konformasie.

    On another note entirely, Irish rugby is impressively strong right now. Connacht were bloody tough (their 4th best team)…and Munster just beat Leinster…
    Ironically this plays beautifully into Stormers’ hands for a Cape Town final.

    How does this apply to SA school boy rugby?
    For a small nation, Ireland show how good planning, good admin, player management, smart training systems, and playing systems…etc etc. how the thinking and intellectual capital make all the difference.
    With their smaller playing pool, they could bloody win a world cup.

    @Rugby 4 Life: you called it, KES lost every single game…besides the 2nds and one other, all comprehensive hidings (or worse).

    Interestingly, in the 1sts game, Affies’ backline found lots of space and were able to attack and counter, carving KES up….compare to last year where the Wit Bulle’s line out maul won them the game and the backs never got going (was same v Bere, and Gim). I’m also wondering if their loss to Garsfontein (both years) has influenced their approach in the later stages of this season…strike with fast movement of ball to fast backs.

    @Roger: Good to see you around. I once believed you passed away, as I confused you with a KES great who played Transvaal prop, the late and great Greg Donald. It is a language issue, simply because Affies was founded despite what Milner attempted with the 23 Milner schools (Milner died today’s date 98 years ago, unfortunately only after being instrumental in committing a genocide of Holocaust percentages) such as KES, PBHS etc. Now Gauteng’s Lesufi is trying similar to what Milner tried. He does everything he can to kill Afrikaans medium schooling, despite the fact, years in a row now, with 8 provinces declaring their matric results before the WC, at that stage, average 6-8 of the top 10 in the country ( Affies Meisies, Affies Seuns, Eldoraigne etc) are Afrikaans schools from Gauteng. The other 2-3 usually being Westville and Durban Girls.

    Garsies do have a few good players of colour. Same in Pretoria Boys High and Waterkloof. Bulls will be ok in Craven Week, but maybe struggle in the Academy Week.
    You do have a point though, as both Garsies and Waterkloof are afrikaans, like Affies!

    @Roger: It is a Language choice, but consequently yes, because Affies is exclusively Afrikaans and PBHS exclusively English, neither being double medium and right next to eachother.

    So hence, the choice of language does then mean mostly coloured boys will choose PBHS over Affies. Not to say Affies doesn’t have coloured boys, but obviously much much less because of the language.

Boishaai was baie swak in lynstane en vaste spel. My grootste kritiek is dat hulle duidelik nie leer uit hul foute nie. Hulle het selfde foute teen Oakdale en Stellenberg gemaak . Boishaai se 0/14 en 0/16 spanne het wedstryde weg gegooi en Grey was net meer “ street wise “.

Die drie wat julle 15 gedruk het was briljant – dit gebeur omtrent nooit dat Grey se cover lyk of dit stil staan nie. Daai man het ernstige wiele.

    @Roger: hi Roger mate. I would like to quickly jump in here today. After watching some GREYT schoolboy games today and having a lot to talk about on this blog other than your comment. But here are my questions to you.

    1- Why will this be any problem to the BULLS ?
    – if you are refering to the U/18 Craven week side, and the pathetic quota selection policy that our kids still today have to be associated with 29 years post a New South Africa, then you are way out of your league. I saw more than enough coloured players today for Craven week just in Garsies, Menlo, and PBHS games that I watched.
    If you are referring to the BULLS Professional team, then why would NON white players at AFFIES be any concern to them ? Please name me a few players of colour from Affies that they have contracted in the last 50 years.

    2- Why do Affies have to declare how many players of colour they have playing rugby in their school ?
    – affies has a great number of grade 8s each year and more than 150 players at each age group turning up for rugby trials. Then Affies select the best 15 players for each team and play the season fixtures. Im not sure, but I dont think they stand at trials and divide kids by colour before making any selection.

    Please also swap this question around when asking about football teams at KES, GREY, SELBORNE, GLENWOOD etc etc.

My twee stiefseuns ( darem nie ‘n mooi term vir twee seuns wat saam met my in ‘n huis bly en ek al jare lief het soos my eie nie) is daar op skool en was trots deel van hierdie gebeurtenis. My eie kinders is in ‘n privaatskool wat amper 10 maal soveel kos as HH. Tog is HH se opvoeding, van akademie ( ek neem aan vir kinders wat sukkel sal dit anders wees), tot sport vir my aansienlik beter, veral wat akademie( wiskunde)en “realisme” betref. Was maar so op Maties, Tuks, UCT ook, die gemiddelde seun uit goeie publieke skole het altyd die gemiddelde seuns uit top privaatskole maklik ore aangesit op alle gebiede, veral akademies.

    Goeie môre manne. Hoop dit gaan goed met almal van julle.

    Affies vs. Kes
    Al Kes se spanne A, B, C…you name it…al hulle spanne gaan verloor. Enigste kans wat Kes het vir ń wen is hulle 1ste span. Teenoor ander jare Affies se 1ste span nie so sterk nie. Die groot ding wat saakmaak vir Kes 1stes vir ń moontlike wen is of die span wat net net teen Paarl Boys verloor het of die span wat net net teen Queens verloor het gaan opdaag.

    Paarl Boys vs Grey College
    Enige span wat teen enige van die Pêrel skole speel in die Pêrel is agter met 15 punte voor die game begin. Maar ek glo Grey U14A, U15A en 1ste span is ten minste 15 punte beter as Paarl Boys. So hierdie 3 ouderdoms groepe van Grey gaan wen. Paarl Boys se U16A span glo ek sal vir Grey wen.

    Boland Landbou vs. Paarl Gim
    ń Upset sal my nie verbaas in 2 ouderdoms groepe. U14A, U15A van Boland Landbou het ń kans om vir Paarl Gim te wen. Klink weird…maar hierdie 2 spanne anders as begin van seisoen. Watch! Miskien die 1stes van Boland Landbou ń kans…maar ek twyfel sterk. Dink Gim sal wen

    Baie ander goeie games. Geniet manne!

    @Djou: Nee, daai gedagte van my is te boheems vir die owerhede!

    Toe die Country Districts spanne (wat Limpopo in wese is), Namibië en Zim nog deel was van die CW, was ons deelname teen porture meer kompeterend, maar nou maak ons net die getalle vol. Agv ons demografie, het ons nie ‘n groot probleem om aan die CW “kwota-vereistes” te voldoen nie – daar is nog Trevor Nyakane’s hier rond (onlangs ‘n o/14 swart seun gesien wat deur Jeppe opgeraap is). Ek dink net hulle talent kan beter raakgesien word in ‘n meer kompeterende CW-span.

On paper this side should be smashing KZN sides, but alas as you say they don’t seem to have the hunger. Methinks a coaching change is needed, fresh ideas. I’m worried very worried

    Limpopo het 15 skole wat rugby speel, waarvan die meeste klein tot bitter klein is, so dis raap en skraap. Tegnies is Limpopo ‘n sub-unie van die BB, so ek dink dit sal makliker wees om die BB te oortuig van die konsep as die Limpopo owerhede – jy weet, ego’s.

    @Kaya 85: You know, I won’t mind a few Panne Manne either. I played koshuisrugby with a few guys from Stoffberg in the late 70’s, and it was good fun.

    One of them, Hennie Volschenk, was quite brilliant. He was a flyhalf but played FB for Tuks and NTvl u20 that year. Ahead of him in both teams was one Naas Botha, but when Naas was selected for the Bulls’ senior team at age 19, Volschenk moved to FH for the u20’s.

    The next year he came to play koshuisrugby with us to concentrate on his studies and social life (eventually became a CA). I always thought if he was in another union, he would have played senior provincial, but we didn’t mind having him in our team!

Toe hulle laas jaar die vorige direkteur laat gaan (skuus toe hy aftree) het almal ook gedink dit gaan alles nou beter gaan en nou gaan dit lyk my slegter.

    Dan natuurlik is daar dalk baie redes en dinge wat agter die skerms aangaan maar dit sal net die mense wat regtig daar betrokke is weet, ek maar net ‘n persoon wat van die kant af na al hierdie goed kyk .

    1. 130kms up to Balgowan, Glenwood got smacked 36 – 10
    2. 80kms to Maritzburg, Glenwood got thumped 42 – 15
    3. 35kms to Bothas Hill, Glenwood score tbd

    Lets see if Heiberg is worth his salary and can turn things around by hopefully sorting out the lineout and maybe updating his tactics. but more importantly motivating the boys who dont seem to want to play fo him! Kearsney have also battled this year so far so it could be a scrappy game of teams desperat for a win!

They do the basics well and down the line. The huge boarding establishment helps here as I’ve said before, there is a strong correlation with boarder numbers to sports success.

And in a smaller margin Oos moot. Don’t recall PBHS played against the other afrikaans schools except Affies. Waterkloof and Montana also just started to feature. Not sure if I miss someone now. Oos Moot still going strong and John Vorster playes in I think in the noordvaal 2nd league. FH ondendaal, CR Swart still play a bit, but in the very much lower leagues. I Think they also only have a u/16 and a 1st team.

    @Asterix: what happened to FH Odendaal? In Joost’s days, and after they were a powerhouse in Pretoria schools rugby.

    :@Leelu: Hulle se die beste skool is die naaste skool. Ons ongelukkig omtrent ewe ver van al drie die skole en dan die 4de een wat so bietjie anders is as die ander 3 wat bietjie verder is. Sy vriende ook gesplit tussen van die skole so ons en hy nog so deuremekaar soos kots in ‘n tumble dryer.

    @kantako: Braam Pretorius, Oos Moot as ek reg onthou het einde 2021 vir Danie Rossouw en nog ‘n afrigter gekry maar hulle het einde laas jaar 2022 Noordheuwel toe geskuif.

    @OUD ANKER: Sy stigting het 2 beurse vir onder andere PBH geskenk want in 2014 het n seun wat in my seun se span was hom gekry.Dit was n jaarlikse ding,of dit nog aktief is weet ek nie.

    Nou gee my gou die feite hoekom jy se daar is nie so iets of was nie so iets nie.

    @Asterix: Jy sal nie ‘n ope dag by PBHS kry nie, want hulle hou nie ope dae nie. Hulle het nie regtig nodig omte “bemark” met iets soos ‘n ope dag nie. Hulle is in die posisie dat hulle duisende aansoeke kry vir letterlik ‘n paar honderd beskikbare plek in enige standerd. Wat baie mense ook nie weet nie is dat hulle geen recruitment/beurse van enige aard toelaat nie. Jy sal bv. glad nie borge name of logos op die rugga truie sien nie. Hulle rugby model is eenvoudig, jy jol met wat jy het. As die groep die jaar swak is, tough, geen versterkings word ingeroep nie, kom ons noem PBHS as een van die min “amateur” rugby skole wat oor is.

    @OUD ANKER: Jip jy is korrek hulle is besonders en Smallies het hulle op sy lys gehad hierdonder, ek het ongelukkig nie so baie kennis oor hulle sport en akademie nie, ek kyk gewoonlik na die SOS verslag wat uitgreik word oor matriekresultate maar hulle fokus meer op afrikaanse skole. Het nog net goeie goed gehoor van hulle. Kon egter nog geen inligting kry oor enige oop dae by hulle nie, dalk net gemis. Hulle gronde is by vere die beste van enige skool in Pretoria, ek dink daar is ‘n paar universiteite wat droom van sulke gronde. Kinders se maniere ook tops waar ons met hulle te doen gekry het.

    Ek seker ook nog outyds as dit kom by studies en glo dit is beter vir ‘n kind om in sy moerdertaal onderrig te kry en dit is hoekom ek meer konsentreer op afrikaanse skole maar dit vat niks weg van hoe goed PBHS is volgens my nie.

    @Asterix: You tend to focus on Kloof, Affies, Menlo, Garsfontein, which are exceptional schools in a 10km radius. Be careful leaving out PBHS just because they are “souties”. PBHS has an exceptional rugby program, has one of the best maths programmes in this country, a culture programme second to none, facilities that the 4 schools you mentioned can only dream of and PBHS is also in your 10km radius.

    @Rainier: Ek hoor jou, ek voel net op hierdie stadium regtig baie jammer vir daai seuns, glo my dit is nie vir hulle lekker nie, en die kommentaar en die dinge wat gese word kom by hulle uit en ek dink nie al die fout en probleme le heeltemal by hulle nie, dit is ook hoekom ek bietjie bekommerd is oor die volgende 3 weke want as hulle weer 70,80,90 afstaan moet jy kyk na daai kinders se gesigte na die tyd.

    Maar dan weer dit is seker maar deel van mensword en as jy daar wil speel moet jy dit kan vat en moet die skool ‘n plan maak, hulle sal ook oor dit kom maar soos op ‘n ander post toe Grey met daai 200 punte gewen het, dit is nie lekker vir daai kinders nie. Jy sal egter nogal verbaas wees oor hoeveel ouers nie die groter prentjie van ‘n skool sien nie en net op die 1ste span se resultate die skool rate.

    A real blockbuster of fixtures in the Western Cape this weekend. Paarl Boys v Grey College will be a cracker (naturally!) and so to will Landbou vs Gym, I think we’ll see a really competitive game there.

    In Cape Town, two cracking Southern Suburb derbies to look forward to, which I’ve previewed on my blog here if you want to take a look :)

    @Smallies: Jy is reg almal baie goeie “alround skole” en doen baie goed en dink enige kind sal gelukkig wees in enige van daai skole, maar die groot 4/5 (Affies seker offisieel 2 skole) dink ek is allround seker onder die top 10 in die land, weereens ek verwys na alle aktiwiteite op alle ouderdomme en akademies hier.

    Ons is baie bevoorreg hier in Pretoria as dit by skole kom, ons het dalk gereeld nie ‘n burgemeester, en krag nie, en baie potholes en baie ander snaakse dinge maar die skole doen darem nog baie goed en is top klas.

    @Smallies: Montana, Swartkop en Elodraigne is almal baie goed, maar hulle bietjie buite die 10 km radius, en ek dink persoonlik ook nie as jy alles in ag gaan neem van al die gebiede by die skool al die sport, kultuur en akademies kan hulle op hierdie stadium saam met die groot 4 saampraat nie, dink wel hulle 1ste spanne kan dalk menlo op hierdie stadium dalk pak gee maar nie enige ander span nie.

    Die ander skool wat ook baie groei is natuurlik Oos-Moot wat ‘n baie giftige 1ste span het hierdie jaar maar hulle ander ouderdomme nog nie heeltemal so kompeterend nie, die nuwe “sport afrigter/direkteur” wat laas jaar van Menlo af geskuif het lyk my doen baie goeie werk daar.

    @Rainier: Rainier ons was ‘n paar saterdae terug by Waterkloof se opedag, toe by Affies se opedag en gister by Garsfontein se dag, sal maandag Menlo sin ook bywoon, Al die dae sover was baie, baie, baie goed en het die skole regtig hulle beste vertoon. Vir ons was daar nie by een van die dae net fokus op die 1ste span rugby se vertoning nie, dit gaan oor die groter prentjie, As jy jou kind in graad 11 wil skuif is dit seker belangrik maar vir ‘n nuwe graag 8 is dit meer oor wat is die planne en visie vir die toekomstige jare en of daar vir jou kind die regte geleenthede gaan wees. En dan onthou net daar is einlik maar net 4 kinders wat 1ste span gaan speel in hierdie 4 skole op ‘n spefifieke posisie, so as jou kind die 5de losskakel of haker is in pretoria gaan hy dalk nooit 1ste span in elk geval speel as hy na hierdie skole toe gaan nie.

    St David’s 8 – 58 Jeppe (David v Goliath Derby – Goliath Slays)
    Marais Viljoen 22 – 29 EG Jansen (Old School Alberton-Boksburg arm wrestle, but EG bigger biceps)

    Grey High 35 – 18 St Andrews’s Grahamstown (Pragmatism over flair, …again)
    SACS 20 – 19 Rondebosch (SACS needs this one badly, watch their fullback)
    Boland LB 22 – 21 Paarl Gim (technically an upset, but are u surprised Landbou defend the farm?)
    Wynberg 32 – 15 Bishops (Wynberg haven’t peaked yet)
    HJS Paarl BH 24 – 22 Grey College (heavyweight clash, Boishigh to take it – maybe)

    Michael H 17 – 27 Durban (can’t keep DHS down, also win away)
    Pietermaritzburg 20 – 27 Westville (Westville take no prisoners, another away win in KZN)
    Kearsney 19 – 26 Glenwood (GW want this desperately, another one for the road)
