…. Decided that day hey you know what I have great life really didn’t need that s*it in my life walked away
@Grasshopper: no the 2016 side did not go unbeaten….. think they lost to Parktown, Paul Roos, Affies and Hoerskool Nelspruit ….. the Parktown loss though was heart ranching …. but Medosh was special on the day…. but the team really underperformed ….. I remember that 2018 side from Glenwood that is the JJ team is it not
@Ringo: With your previous reference to “non beer drinking”, I must question whether you have been drinking because I have absolutely no clue what you are trying to say here?
@Ringo: Great side, did they go unbeaten? For Glenwood we had our best year in 2018, not sure if that will ever be topped again. What is interesting is the Grey Bloem juggernaut is rolling on and no one is saying, is this the best Grey team of all time? I would love to see them play the best in NZ again, in NZ….
@Grasshopper: well said sir …. if you have the choice I tell anyone who can find your greener pastures and sometimes they are here in Mzantsi and in other cases it is not …. each to his own
@Kaya 85: that 2016 team was a bit of dream team that under performed in hencesight ….. Sbu nkosi was in matric in 2014 ….. sbu was special when he was in school top academic and unbelievable on the rugby field….. that 2016 team though as good as it was the best player we had recruited was a kid called Happiness who played fullback and left Jeppe for Garsfontein in grade 9 and…. that team was something else …. but alas more superstars and individual brilliance….. however this 2023 team has been a marvel to me….Kevani reminds me a bit of Medosh Tambwe from Parktown….. in 2016 I saw Medosh beat our superstars as a man alone racking ball….. but that is why I prefer SBR to what super rugby outcomes were predictable and I can’t predict SBR games ….. this has been the beauty of URC rugby
@KES Oldboy: “attitude”
guess you like the current xxx are on the yikes list I gather….. I am just one of those old boys who carry the feeling is mutual dermenour when I bump into the quintessential KES people ….. like I said I have never met a Kes rower I didn’t like Matt C even couched us Jeppe …. the rest of the teddies
@Strepie: Nie sleg vir n hokkie skool nie.
@Deon: For about 80 years it was super tough for Souties to make any representative side, if you did you were exceptional.
@Ringo: Brilliant move for him and just unfortunate with an injury. I would have him in the Bok squad. I also think the Doops deserve a spot, Robert is a safe and secure back-up flyhalf. I bumped into Trokkie at the London 7s, hope he plays for England but not sure if he can. Imagine an SA team of players who have left, gosh it would be good. Ruan Ackerman, Jean Kleyn, Willemse, Green, Duhan van der Merwe, WP Nel, Alan Dell, Rob Herring etc etc. In fact, I think many many more will move to Europe to give their kids a decent future…
@Ringo: Brother, you explicitly asserted it is impossible for English speaking boys to get Bok call-ups.???
@Ringo: He was doing very well at UK Quins…scored lots of tries until about a year ago…must have had a serious injury. I don’t think he was overlooked because of the soutie thing…remember Cheslin also had to leave SA for 2, 3 years only then selected for Boks. Duane vd M also found success overseas and Scots were very sharp to snap him up….then there’s v d Heever who left, to play in Japan and got selected for Japan too..all international level wings…no different with e.g. locks…guys leave and get snapped up like Willemse (France), Labuschagne (Japan), Kleyn (Ireland), du Preez (Scotland)….there’s been more.
@Ringo: Tyrone was exceptional at schoolboy level…outrageous sidestepping, running from deep, breaking tackles, changing angles/direction…he was unpredictable, attacked from anywhere….was Sbu Nkosi in the same team?….certainly that year with Wandisile who ran rings around guys too, and Hacjivah …wow. An unforgettable team. Also had a short loose head called Ricky…he was so powerful and stocky and low, No one could work out how to scrum him….
@KES Oldboy: I think this younger generation of school kids and recent matriculants are so different to previous generations, …there is more mutual respect, mutual friendships etc. between and among the “rival” schools…wasn’t always like that…even that St Stithians/St John’s brawl at a party about 12 – 15 years ago. Big animosity….
@Ringo: You need to cool it with your language & attitude. Using the word “hate” when referring to a rival school is completely inappropriate. The schools have a mutual respect for each other & the boys too seem to have a healthy rivalry. Don’t let YOUR hang-up from the 2000s tarnish this.
@Deon: not really just think going to England for him was a great move ….. you earn an amazing living playing club/premiership rugby in the UK and Tyrone will get an England cap soon
enough don’t think he would been a Springbok had he stayed at the lions …. that is just my opinion don’t know why the Boks would not pick him but in England….. even if he never plays international rugby he will make a great living playing for the Quins…. and like @vleis said you can’t help but cheer for a young man like Tyrone Green he was a Theo Jackson scholarship fund kid and he has a heart of gold …. hell of a rugby player and England is a great place for him. In my opinion at this stage injuries aside Tyronne is better than Willie Le Roux at 15 but I will bet you my bond repayments Willie currently has a better chance of getting to the World cup than Tyrone…. maybe it is experience
@Roger:so for me and many old boys from the early 2000s I matriculated in 04 next year marks my 20 year reunion…. most of us have a hate/hate relationship with Kes only nice Kes boys I ever met were the Kes rowers Buffalo regatta was solid fun with them …. the rest school yikes ….. I know my brother-in-law who matriculated in 2015 years ago thinks differently….. then my brother who is a new old boy matric 22 and well he went to a different school to me …. I think he even has friends that went to Kes
@Ringo: Bok call-ups are impossible for a soutie boy? Please expand. Are you saying deserving players are not called up because they are English speaking?
@Roger: it is part of a comfort lalaby we started signing during the dark days between
……
03 and 09 when we could not even buy a win against Kes ….. that was a dark dark time I know since covid it has been the same…. the current school boys are too cultured for the crude words of the lalaby…. but I have clung to it more than others would … it comforts me and whenever I see Kes people celebrate a win against us I sing it in my head
@Grasshopper: Tyrone Green will probably play for England this year he is playing for Harliquins in UK think he is close there and thereabouts….. don’t think he is keen on the boks …. also I mean SA bok calls up are impossible for soutie boy he has better chances in England…. I mean even someone like Dayimini from the stormers has not cracked a call up and he plays nice rugby in the URC and will not get a sniff
@Roger: The key words are: “after the 1st team game.” At St Alban’s, the bar was opened an hour or two prior to the 1st team game.
@Vleis: last time I was at KES (six odd years ago) the Teddybear Arms opened directly after the 1st XV game – right next to the main rugby field. The old boys pub was part of the swimming pool pavilion and now that the new aquatics centre has superseded that, I am sure there is a new old boys pub there too!
@Roger: @Ringo: Unless things have changed, the only Gauteng school that serves beers in close proximity to the main rugby field is St Alban’s…so ALL Gauteng schools (other than SAC) should be called “non-beer”!
Indeed, the beers were served from the pavilion at St Alban’s by the legendary George Weetman. Sadly, George passed away last week, so they’ve have named a section of the pavilion in his honour and to ensure that his legacy lives on at the College.
@Kaya 85: @Ringo: so so unlucky for the Black and White! Well done to the Wit Bulle for pulling the proverbial rabbit out the hat at the death. The return fixture against KES at Jeppe will be a cracker, but perhaps a bridge too far for the Reds – I saw on Facebook that 6 of the 7 first choice backline were out injured against St Johns. The upside is KES don’t play again until mid July so plenty of time to recuperate.
Heh Ringo – what’s this Red non-beer drinker nonsense?
@Kaya 85: We lose our collective minds when international refs with TV replays support still get calls wrong. That happens often.
Yet we expect school rugby refs to perform at that level.
@Grasshopper: I’ve followed Tyrone Green’s rugby career relatively closely as my son played rugby and cricket against him for five years at high school and then they both landed up at Wits, albeit not quite coinciding re the latter. I also enjoy his back story. He was part of the strong Jeppe 1st teams in ’15 & ’16 that included, inter alia, Wandi Simelani and Hacjivah Dayimani.
Green moved to Harlequins a few years ago where he was sensational in his first season (20/21). He started at wing but moved to FB when Brown got suspended and ended up being a significant contributor to Quins winning the title that year. The following year (21/22), he was still playing at a very high level and was picked in Will Greenwood’s premiership team of the season at fullback. I think that he has been injued for most of the current season, which also coincided in Quins drop in form.
@Rainier: yes totally…, I’ve also heard people complain endlessly about a ref (I’m not referring to @Ringo here), many complaints are just supporters who think that being vocal for their team, they have to jeer the ref…also some comments are usually totally wrong…refs doing good jobs but casual spectators clue-less
@Strepie: ek het n groot wen vir Boishaai vooespel,lyk my PRG het daardie post gelees en besluit om my verkeerd te bewys ….hulle was damm goed gewees die naweek
Skitter vertoning deur PRG.
Klop my alma mater fair en square.
Ek weet die seuns gee hul beste.
Wedstryde gespeel 27
HJS wen 7
PRG wen 19
Gelykop 1
Ordentlik bloedneus in die Paarl gekry.
Boishaai sal moet diep delf vir die res van die seisoen, maar ons sal bly ondersteun en positief bly!
Die naweek is dit Rondebosch (weg) – dit raak nie makliker nie.
@Jan Kriel: Dis ‘n ondankbare taak en die beste en mees kritiese stuurmanne sit almal op die wal.
So paar jaar terug word die /11 Aloe Cup finaal geblaas deur ‘n familie lid van die organiseerder wat op vakansie was en het die mense/ouers/ondersteuners van die die verloor span gekla en gekerm oor elke tweede besluit wat hy gemaak het.
Ek was verstom en het net my kop geskud – die man was op vakansie van sy internasionale skeidsregter verpligtinge.
So geniet maar die game en vergeet die skeidsregter of gaan blaas self as jy dink jy kan beter doen. Sonder hulle is daar nie ‘n game nie.
@Ringo: absolutely, Jeppe and Affies are very good for each other. Jeppe are really producing good teams, must not be disheartened…I think they will beat KES in the return match, in fact – they can win all of their last 4 games.
Kaya’s Monday Morning Awards
Runaway Comeback Award = EG Jansen, incredible spirit and daring to turnaround that game

@Ringo: sorry boet, an Affies win is hard to come by. Westville recently got their first up on the plaas. Glenwood have a handful, maybe 3. It’s like gold dust & chances only come around once a decade, so harder to take if other forces are involved. Tyrone Green, loved him. What’s he up to, I had him as a Bok in 5 years..
@OUD ANKER: no shame losing to Affies not at all …..they are top team …. and yeah the ref was bad both ways but man it hurts when your team is on the wrong side on one of those decisions….. I mean the guy missed a knock on right in front his eyes laughable ….. then ruck was another joke …. the contests on the ground and the the offsides line for the defense formed at the attacking scrumhalve’s leg whatever happened to last men’s feet…. pure heart break I must say what happened on Saturday…. but on the bright side our first hockey team won 8-0 on Friday night …… so in all Affies fixture was a great outing for our Boys
@OudAffie: yeah the offsides line annoys me….but now with sober mind I say those Affie guts pulled through for your team on Saturday…… top school Affies is I must say…… but man we were close …. alas no cigar ….. atleast the last 4 games of the Season will be interesting for us ….. PBHS,Parktown,Red non-beer drinkers , and DHS….. four very tough games for us…. I just hope our boys are not disheartened by Saturday’s loss….. They can honestly hold their heads up with pride ….. some of the boys were playing sick and with niggles….. but man it was a game and a bit that
@Jan Kriel: 100%
@Kantman: Die persone wat heeltyd kla oor die skeidsregters, mis ‘n klomp uitstekende spel deur ons skoolseuns. Mense moet die rugby kyk en nie die skeidsregter dophou vir foute nie, hulle mis goeie rugby, en bederf die wedstryde vir hulself.
@Dixon’s: Lekker lekker boet. Heard Toppy (who turned 80 in the week), Hutch, David Munro and Jordan (aka Oros) had an onstage chat. I bet it was as honest as they would normally be. I did also hear an alarming stats, something like only 50 OBs pay their OB fees, used to be over 1,000. The 93 year had a reunion in London as there are more there than in SA. Re the game, my heart was green but my head was white, seems it was right. Close still which isn’t bad. I haven’t seen all the results in the age groups. Hilton are going to find it very difficult to maintain that standard. Season is turning out to be quite poor considering what was expected on paper. Only way to turn it around a bit is to beat Northwood and College to make amends for previous loses, although I hear more injuries…
@kantako: Baie dankie – dit sal goed wees vir skole rugby as die kwaliteit van skeidsregters deurgans verbeter.
@Kantman: ek weet van 2 oud spelers wat refs geword het. Jacques Niewenhuis wat vir Namibie gespeel het, hy het by die Valke aangesluit, is ge fast track, en laaste wat ek gehoor het was hy NZ toe (weet nie of dit as ref was of vir werk nie) dan ook Hennie Daniler wat n WP skeidsregter geword het, maar ek weet nie waar is hy nou nie. O ja en Egon Seconds en Glen Jackson, so daar is n paar wat deurkom.
Geld nie goed genoeg nie behalwe as jy dit regtig maak dink ek.
Ek dink persoonlik. UNIES kan minder juniors kontrakteer, want daar is te veel wat min geld kry en dan verdwyn en hulle kam meer geld in refs instoot. Daar is baie meer spelers op skoolvlak wat goeie refs baie meer nodig het as wat so baie junior seuns klein kontrakte kry
@Snelvuur: Dis fantastiese resultate vir PRG. In die verlede kon PRG net n paar wen teen Boishaai/Gim/Grey Kollege.
@kantako: Baie dankie vir daai deeglike antwoord. Wag hulle vir aansoeke van oudspelers of teiken hulle oudspelers wat die regte temperament het? Is dit nie tyd om regtig effort in te sit en die hele stelsel na die volgende vlak te neem nie? Dit sou insluit beter vergoeding vir beter prestasie. Moet noem dat skeidsregters nie te sleg is in die Kaap nie, al dink ons ondersteuners nie altyd so nie.
@Rugbyman: Julle het verseker die beste een en gladnie nie die beste een daarbo. Gaan jou nie op die spot sit, maar glo jy weet van watter twee ek praat. Hieronder het ons ‘n mynveld van Wynland en SS skole old boys wat elke Saterdag vir uitdagings sorg, vir uiteenlopende redes, maar daar is 3 goeie refs wat jy kan trek, as jy gelukkig is
@jakes: Baie geluk Jakes, teen Waterkloof nogal. Dit wil gedoen wees.
@AbsolutMenlo: dankie. Ek is ongelukkig vér van die Oos Ran of Pretoria af so kyk maar die games op die app. Maar ek dink dit moes ‘n wonderlike gevoel gewees het om daai tweede helfte van EGJ/ Waterkloof langs die veld te wees en daai comeback te sien. Riller skole rugby.
@Kantman: die skool betaal nie die skeidsregters direk nie.
Die Unie betaal die skeidsregters. Ek dink hulle kry A liga so R250 n game, dan kan hy n oggend game blaas, n 1ste span game en dalk as hy gelukkig is n Senior klub game dieselfde dag. Onthou hulle betaal hulle eie petrol.
Skole gee dan gewoonlik vir die skeidsregters n ietsie om te eet en n koeldrank. Aan die einde van die seisoen dan invoice die Unie die skole vir die skeidsregters.
Skeidsregters word ge “grade” en dit bepaal watse ouderdom en span hulle dan mag blaas. SARU het n handvol in elke Unie op n paneel wat dan Cravenweek en Wildeklawer ens blaas, en die Unie probeer die top skeidsregters elke week by die groot wedstryde in die Unie plaas.
Bv – kom ons gebruik die Bulle
– Affies vs Grey (beste bulle ref)
– garsies vs waterkloof (nog n paneel ref)
-PBHS vs college (nog n paneel ref)
– Menlo vs Marais Viljoen (dan kry jy net goeie refs maar hulle dalk nie meer A klas nie)
– teen die tyd wat Montana speel teen Die Anker dan is jy gelukkig as jy 2 BB refs vir die dag kry (sonder lynregters)
En dan praat ek nie eers van die games tussen John Vorster en Tuine nie, daar is jy lucky as die 1ste span afrigter self ref.
@Rugbyman ek stem saam, ek sal nie n ref wil wees in SA met die sterk kompetisie en die swak ouers en afrigters langs die veld nie. Dis n ungrateful job, baie soos n Fidelity CIT officer. Ek stem wel nie saam jou oor die BB refs nie, ek dink die VALKE het die beste refs in Noordvaal
@Wonderwolf: 😊😜
@OudAffie: Ek stem saam. Dr Louis Wessels …. voorsitter van Bulle skeidsregtersvereniging het al in die 90’s gesê…ń skeidsregter moet vir homself bepaal “Do you want to blow the rules, or do you want to blow the game”.
@Smallies: Op die vlak waar ek gespeel het, wat die laagste moontlik was, was ons mees algemene plaaslike (Volkskombuis veld) ref ‘n Oom wat net een arm gehad het. So AL ons strafskoppe was “kortarmpies” want sy fluitjie moes permanent in sy mond bly. Chaos, nie dat ons op daardie vlak werklik die verskil verstaan het nie.
Ek weet van skeidsregters organisering soveel as ‘n kat van saffraan. Wat word hulle betaal en hoeveel wedstryde kan hulle blaas/vlag dra op ‘n Saterdag?
Op hierdie blog hierbo is daar 44 wedstryde wat geblaas moes word. Kom ons maak dit 15 wedstryde by elke skool waar gespeel is – dit is 660 wedstryde.
Hoekom kan jy nie die skeidsregter vergoed op ‘n manier dat jy die beste talent trek nie? Hoekom sal jy al die moeite doen om die ondersteuners te lok en dan laat jy die belangrikste deelnemer onvoorbereid en vergoed hom nie ordentlik nie?
@Rugbyman: veral op skole vlak ….daai manne offer hulle tyd op in baie gevalle op hulle eie onkoste…
@Rugbyman: Ek kan ongelukkig nie met jou opmerking saamstem nie. Skeidsregters van Mpumalanga baie beter. Hulle is fiks, het kennis van Mpumalanga se Rugby reëlboek, is objektief en laat hulle nie intimideer deur lynregters en besoekerspanne afrigters se opmerkings.
@OudAffie: Verander daardie 20 jaar van jou na 49 jaar. Ek het in 1974 as kannetjie die eerste keer PRG teen Gim en Boishaai sien speel toe my oudste broer vir PRG gespeel het. In daardie 49 jaar was HJS en Gim nog altyd meermale ons nemesis as andersins, en ek bedoel nie net op eerstespan vlak nie.
@Maroon machine supporter: Baie dankie.
@jakes: Congratulations … comeback of the year!! Julle kan trots wees op die manne … bly ek was daar om dit te beleef.
@OUD ANKER: Absolutely well said!!
Ek vind dat ons in Pta die beste refs het, al kla ons soms dink ek ons kla met die witbrood onder die arm. Moet sê ek het nie gedink die Monnas vs Grey ref was op standaard nie. Hy het baie foute gemaak.
@Deon: Ruben Kruger se pa se naam is Francois. Francois was self ‘n kranige rugbyspeler in sy jong en studente dae maar sover ek weet is daar geen verwantskap met die bok legende nie. Francois en sy gesin het in 2007 van Jhb na Durbanville verhuis. Ruben wat tot en met Gr.9 in Hoërskool Durbanville.
@OudAffie: Probleem is niemand wil meer blaas nie… Al die refs kry net te veel kritiek… mense raak baie persoonlik met refs… kyk nou weer net vir Johnny Sexton… hoop iemand sit hom op sy plek. Great speler, maar tog so arrogant!
@OUD ANKER: Net masogiste skryf posts wat op hulself van toepassing is. Maar ek verstaan uit jou post jy is ‘n masogis.
Terloops, jy gaan hard sluk oor jou woorde. Want die feite pas beslis nie jou “waarheid” nie. Gaan juis in die volgende paar weke van die navorsinggevolgtrekkings deel.
@OudAffie: Baie dankie, dit was lekker en baie spesiaal om vir 1ste keer in 20 jaar weer op Brug Str. te kon wen. Hopenlik sal dit meer gereeld gebeur oor die volgende 20 jaar…
Head is still a bit sore from a lovely Old Boys Dinner on Friday and a long Old Boys Day on Saturday
Glenwood played as well as could be expected against a very good Hilton side. started well but couldnt keep it up over the full 70 mins. coaches need to take a long hard look at themselves, starting Williams and Martins was a massive mistake, both where obviously carrying injuries and should never have started.
apparently Zuki Tom has signed a contract with Racing in France and is on his way, Saturday was his last game for Glenwood. he hasnt had a great season and has not coming close to living uo to the hype, so maybe this is now an oppartunity for another player to step up and show his worth!
@OudAffie: I agree, the two Lions refs were not up to scratch. They don’t seem to know basic rules us couch experts even know. For instance the Affies/Jeppe ref apparently has never heard of the rule that if you want to sack a maul it needs to be IMMEDIATELY, and not after the opposition maul has progressed 5m! Those are basic rules they surely should know.
@Smallies: Ek het al lank hieroor gedink. Dit is vir my dat hulle elkeen, of elke streek se skydsregters verskillend reëls sien en toepas.
Ongeag die reëls, niemand sou kla as dit net konstant geblaas word nie. Die probleem lê by toepassing en nie noodwendig die reëls nie
@OudAffie: stem saam met jou ,geneuk is meeste van die revs op skole vlak is volenteers
@Smallies: Either way, hulle is nie konstant genoeg nie. en dit belemmer ‘n goeie wedstryd.
@OudAffie: yes I do think it’s more a incompetence problem than a cheating problem
@Ringo: What bothers me alot in terms of School Boys Refs/some pro refs as well, are 1. the little time they give before calling a maul, 2. giving penalties for holding on extremely quickly (giving no time for a contest) and ignoring the offside line. Those 3 things are the worst.
In terms of yesterday, I am going to say that I do not think the two lions refs were up to standard, or, they were only blowing what they though were correct, I do not think any ref goes and cheats from the onset. I do not agree with your there. But there are too many refs that are inconsistent and not blowing the same game from region to region. And that is very frustrating to watch.
@Maroon machine supporter: Ek gaan eerlik wees, as jy my gevra het om die 3 sterkte rugbyskole in die Kaap vir die afgelope 20 jaar te lys, sou ek PR 3de geplaas het, maar ek is eerlikwaar verbaas hoe naby dit eintlik is. Baie geluk met daai wen gister dit was puik.
Vraag vir die Kaap manne: Wat is die totale wen/verloor telling tussen PR en HJS; PR en Paarl Gim.
Gim en HJS weet ek darem al teen hierdie tyd. Dankie
@Snelvuur: Baie geluk met die eerstespan wat in die Paarl gewen het, dit was ‘n bitter indrukwekkende wen. Min skole gaan Paarl toe en wen met so ‘n telling. Ook meer geluk met die diepte. HJS het net Affies die meerderheid wedstryde teen Grey Kollege gewen en daar gaan PR en wen meer as verloor in die Paarl. Puik diepte. Ek gaan voor op die wa wees en sê Paul Roos, Affies, HJS en Grey se diepte is ongeewenaar. (Seunskole). Gim natuurlik ook daar in terme van diepte maar speel nie teen Grey nie. Ek is ongelukkig te dom om te kan praat van Grey PE se diepte of Selbourne. And obviouly the Englsih Boys Schools also have alot of depth.
@Maroon machine supporter: Baie insiggewende stats, en geensins neem dit weg van die feite nie, dit las net by.
@Smallies: Baie geluk met julle oorwinning. Mens is al so gewoon daaraan dat julle wen dat selfs julle opponente soos ek al blasé raak oor julle vertonings, wat gewoon weird is lol.
@Kerveros: Jammer Kerveros as jy voel dat ek nie weet waarvan ek praat nie, of dat ek werklik nie weet waarvan jy praat ek praat nie. Ek stem saam dat ek geensins ‘n rugbykenner is nie, of skolerugbykenner nie, maar as jy verduidelik waarmee jy nie saamstem nie, kan jy my dalk iets leer.
@OUD ANKER: Dankie Killick, ek het dit beslis ook nie sien kom nie.
@Wonderwolf: Jy moet leer wat Plato gesê het van introspeksie en “life not worth living”. Nogal ‘n brutale vorm van eerlikheid. Dit beteken jy moet die fout by jouself soek.
Lank voor ek begin spot dryf het met die oneerlikheid van woorde in mens se mond lê, oor hoe ‘n sekere statistiek gebruik moet word, het twee Bere al vieslik in my persoon ingeklim, en ek het dit bloot afgelag en geremedieer met syfers en voorbeelde.
Hier is ‘n video wat jou sal help om hierdie donker tyd te kom, dis deur Chopper, Ronnie Johns, Rule number 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unkIVvjZc9Y Toughen te f up
@Snelvuur: Vir die manne wat van statistiek en veral gemiddelde tellings hou mag die volgende interessant wees. Die HJS en PRG 1ste spanne het sedert die jaar 2000 in 22 wedstryde kragte gemeet (2020 &21 is nie gespeel nie).HJS se totale telling was 412 teenoor die 381 vir PRG. Die gemiddelde 1ste span telling was dus HJS 19 – 17 PRG.
@OUD ANKER: dit wil my voorkom dat die Vrystaat revs al hoe beter begin vertoon ivm die res van SA
@Snelvuur: now that is what you call a great match up across the board, every game close.
@Snelvuur: PR Ondersteuner, Jong Matie, Deon en al die ander Paul Roos manne, veels geluk met julle goeie weg oorwinning vandag. Ek persoonlik het daai een nie sien kom nie!
@Smallies: Geluk met nog ‘n Grey wen en bliksem ek weet nie waar die Lions rugby unie hulle refs vandaan kry nie, want daai ref het Grey ten minste nog 20 punte gekos. Die Lions ref tussen Affies en Jeppe was netso shocking.
@Ringo: Jeppe played a great game. The boys can be very proud! I thought this one was going to be close. I must agree and disagree with you regarding the ref. He was shocking…but on both sides.
@Djou: Rule no.1- Don’t be a d**s. Rule no. 2- Be honest. Rule no.3. Don’t be patronising and justify it in the name of some bullshit research project. Rule no. 4. If you can’t follow rules 2 and 3 refer back to Rule no. 1.
@Smallies: Jys reg.
Bloody hell what a comeback by EGJansen. 26-0 behind and looked if it was going to be a bad day for them. Then they silenced Klofies crowd with a comeback never seen before to win 31-26. Well done EGJansen. That is character.
@Deon: Hi Deon. Duidelik weet jy nie heeltemal waarvan jy praat nie. Skolerugby sal diepte kry as jy soos Paul Roos die Stellenbosch Rugby Academy se afrigters aan jou kant het. Diepte kom met goeie afrigting. Well done Paul Roos. Goeie afrigting gaan julle ver bring op skool en selfs na skool. Ernest julle is ysters.
@beet. Kan jy asseblief @Deon herinner wat die “house rules” van hierdie blog is.
@Djou: Gaaaaaaap, ek wag nog vir die substansiëring. Soos ons doen. Of is dit nou weer ‘n Arithmo-psige studie deur Me Hyde of Dr Djoukyll? Dis net SBR, en gevoelens is nie feite nie.
@Deon: nee Ruben Kruger het twee dogters gehad as ek reg is
@Snelvuur: Miskien raak ek oud, en soos al die mense wat ouer word, voel dit elke jaar asof mens verder skool toe gestap het. Anyway, Semper Splendidior.
@Deon: HJS moet dringend nog ‘n pawiljoen bou. As mens as nie-skolier ‘n sitplek soek, moet jy tans 08:00 al op die pawiljoen gaan sit.
@Wonder: Ek het geweet jy gaan nie die “SAICA vrae” kan beantwoord nie, nie oor een van die 4 voorgeskrewe SAICA dissiplines ( Rek, costing, oudit, tax) nie, asook die Tuks B Comm Rek “inside info” vrae nie. So by the way, debiete is jou linkerhand, krediete regs.
So much vir jou semels vlak persoonlike belediging en delusies van grootsheid.
@Deon: ek was langs die veld, so kon nie veel van die meer tegniese besluite mooi sien nie. Ek dink die gele was verdiend – met hoe die reëls nou is, is kontak reguit op die nek op skoolvlak byna altyd geel. Daardie 7-flank van HJS het ontsettend baie talent, maar kry basies elke wedstryd ‘n kaart (hy het laasjaar teen PRG ‘n rooie gekry).
Ek weet SA Rugby rate Amy Barrett-Theron baie hoog, en ek was in die verlede beïndruk deur haar gewees. Sal egter eers op die TV na die wedstryd moet loer om te sê.
Nie seker oor die verwantskap nie, maar hy speel ‘n netjiese game.
@Rugbyman: Dankie Rugbyman. Ek het gedink dit was ‘n bietjie vervelige game, dit het voorgekom asof daar min mense was, en of die referette HJS bietjie tenagekom het, maar ‘n wen is ‘n wen, en teen ‘n mede Wynland skool sê mens nooit nie Nee Dankie nie.
@Snelvuur: Fantasties. Met die hoofgame, dink jy nie die tannie ref het vir HJS tenagekom nie? Ten minste so “klein bietjie”? Daardie geelkaart en die strafskop teen HJS net daarna het bietjie woes gelyk vir my. Het Ruben Kruger enige verband met oorlede Ruben (RIV)?

@AbsolutMenlo: was n goeie Menlo groep gewees, ek onthou die 2de span spelers en die rede daar agter (en die Atletiek wat saamgaan) ek dink hulle n fout gemaak met Regardt.
Sterkte. Voel jammer vir die skool.
@Wonder: Sommige posts is die moeite werd om te lees, ander lees ek nie eens meer nie en antwoord gevolglik nie – dis nou van die mense wat so vol van hulself en eensaam is.
Nee, gehoor Garsies sonder 7 eerstekeuse spelers gespeel, maar die youngsters het goed gedoen!
Jammer Stormers het verloor!
@Ringo: Jeppe have themselves to blame…that long kick off was going out, the Jeppe wing ‘caught’ it his foot on the line, gives Affies a 5 m line-out, they drive over to score from the maul. Defending their own line for the last 8 minutes was tough…they almost did it…but remember at school boy level, being held up over the line is another scrum to the attacking team…so Affies got over the line at least twice without putting it down…got scrum again. At URC level those would have been goal line kick backs…but SBR still follows ‘old’ rule.
Die Fichies ,JF show gaan aan in die wesgrow reeks ,Fichies met n impressive wen teen Voortrekker
Wow…Congratulations to
Noordheuwel = powerful performance, dished out a proper hiding
Paul Roos = very impressive victory in Paarl
Michaelhouse = much stronger than anticipated
EG Jansen = what. a. comeback
Rondebosch = they can turn it ON when they want to
Kempton Park = Goooo East Rand Blues!!
and Congrats to all the other teams.
Also to Munster, well done. A more limited game plan, not as powerful pack, not as dangerous individual backs…but superior cohesion, superior game management, initiative, drive, dertermination…that’s rugby!
Geluk Paul Roos convincing win.
@kantako: Was ook die aand daar (my seun se groep) Menlo het die aand met ‘n 2de span begin maar nou ja dit is water onder die brug.
Huidige situasie maak baie seer … Jy is reg ons brand kry seer ons moet skoonmaak.
@Kaya 85: @Wonder: SBR op sy beste … nog lekker rugby wat wag in Noordvaal.
@Kaya 85: I can just imagine the flak Dweba caught during the game…..
@OudAffie: more like Jeppe 1st cheated at the death by pure incompetence from yet another joke of a union ref…… really shame on the Lions referees union …. as I former ref myself I ashamed at what I saw today….. utter incompetence robbed us today….I dare anyone to watch without being historical..
So tinges of Hans strydom in Affies dermenour today
aggg Stormers…As exciting as Libbok can be on attack, his arrogance too much (pointing your hands at people before u score??) …his charged down kick led directly to final try.
Wie is die Monnas kommentator gewees
@Deon: inderdaad
@Deon: Baie geluk met julle great wen! 👏👏👏👏
@Wonder: Daar kom die kommin met ‘n k en i nou uit.
@Smallies: Dis reg so, gaan oor Bosman en dan ‘n grap tussen my en jou.
@Djou: Solank ek kan substansieer en jy nie kan jy maar aangaan soos jy wil.
@Wonder: Om nou Julius Malema se taal te gebruik, “I touched you on your studio”, want wragtig ek was reg oor julle komplekse oor Affies. Water oor ‘n eend se rug, maar dankie dat jy my reg bewys het.
OK, 1999’ Laat ek dink. “Vertaal” vir my die GAAP standpunt vir kontantvloeistate , spesifiek mbt die direkte metode, na die IFRS weergawe soos uitgereik deur IAS vir SME’s (rekeningkunde), dan vertel jy my hoe die debiete vir standaardkoste vs die vir proseskoste, net een verskil (costing), dan vertel jy my, die verskil tussen artikels 11 (e) en 12 C (groot C né) van die ITASA toepas saam met die Eerste Bylaag, wat is die verskil ( tax ), dan vertel jy my wat ISA200 sê oor algemense standpunte tov IT audits? Sien, ek is miskien moer doem en ‘n snop (sic), maar ek is nie een dimensioneel nie. Wat het profs Stigling en Steyn vir jou doseer op Tuks?
Feit is, nie een persoon het oot gesê gemiddelde tellings vervang enige-iets anders nie, dus was jou vraag donners oneerlik, en bewys julle ongelooflike viriliteitskompleks teenoor Affies.
@Deon: hierdie post is n mond vol ,maar ek gaan jou antwoord met n quote ek wonder of jy hom gaan weet “your lips keep moving but I cant hear what you’re saying”
@Djou: Stem, klaar met hom, hy en boerboel drink saam. Het jy Garsies gekyk vandag? Verander asb jou trui!
Dankie Monnas vir n Greyt dag ,die Ras is n spesiale plek om te jol virseker…..Grey het sekerlik 5 driee op die veld gelos vandag baie stop start gespeel ….maar ek vat die wen Grey 2 witbulle 0 😉😉😉
@Wonder: Sommige mense leef in hul eie werklikheid, ander skep ‘n kunmatige werklikheid en dan is daar die regte werklikheid.
Mens behoort net op die laaste te reageer. 😜😇
@Deon: ja ja ja …..die ou wes tranvaal is net soveel bosveld as wat die noorde is, jy sal my nog nooit anders oortuig nie….
Well done Affies, Garsies en Grey!!
Rol so voort!
@Trots HJS (Tandem): Dankie. Weet jy of die seun wat afgedra was, ok is?
@Deon: Jammer maar ek het nie al die kak wat jy geskryf het gelees nie. Jy is is ‘n snop en so so dom sooos grond. Ek is ‘n lid van SAICA sedert 1999. Gaan google dit. Laaste post van my aan jou. ARGO.

@Wonder: Soms werk dit nie. Soos nou. Kan jy een sin lees en dit verstaan? Nee, jy kan nie, anders sou jy nie dit vra nie. Of eerder, jy is ‘n smart ou, bright, so eintlik wil jy nie een sin verstaan nie, omdat Affies, julle nemesis, ter sprake is, en julle ‘n erge minderwaardigheidskompleks het as dit by hulle kom. Oor en oor en oor het ek en elkeen wat die ontleding van gemiddelde tellings, wat gedeeltelik sinoniem is vir DIEPTE, gesê, die eerstepan telling op sy eie is die belangrikste, dan tweedes, ouderdomsgroepe. Dit is great om te weet wat is die wen/verloor persentasie, alles, gekwantifiseer. Dis ook great om die gemiddelde telling te bestudeer, en te kwalifiseer, as ‘n minder belangrike maatstaf, maar steeds ‘n sinvolle maatstaf, veral as mens dit ordentlik kwalifiseer en oor tyd meet. Mees belangrike, dis nie vir jou en my om vir ander voor te skryf watter statistiek hulle mag en nie mag pos nie. Veral nie as mens nie kan sê hoekom iets nie sinvol is nie, terwyl verskeie vir jou noem hoekom dit sinvol is. Capice?
@Wonder: 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@AbsolutMenlo: Dankie vir jou post, ek sal die game later kyk ( Ek glo dis gestream)
@PRondersteuner @Deon
Well done , deserved win.
@Deon: Kan jy nooit iemand reguit in een sin antwoord nie ?
@AbsolutMenlo: UN-be-lievable comeback
@Kaya 85: Affies, Prinse van Pretoria.
@OudAffie: AHS again exceptional results all through. First team was very gracious at the end after their last minute win…clapping opponents off with a tunnel. Nice touch.
@Rugbyman, baie geluk met die Bere se vertoning vandag. Gegewe al die beserings is 62-12 baie goed, ek is regtig beindruk met die Bere se diepte. Ek glo julle gaan die vrugte nog later pluk, die geleentheid vir soveel seuns om vir die Eerstes te speel is great.
@Deon: Herman Charles Bosman would have been proud of his boys today …
Baie goeie wen Paul Roos. Voorspelers was ongelooflik goed. Boishaai se gevaarlike back 3 is baie goed dopgehou en onder druk geplaas. Well done seuns. Dankie Boishaai. Dis altyd lekker om by julle te speel.
@Wonder: Ek is ‘n ou wat graag ‘n wetenskaplike benadering volg. Ek hou van WEET, WETENskap. Thomas Aquinas, van die Siciliaanse Republiek, het so 800 jaar gelede sommige beginsels van dié metode uitgestippel wat ‘n mooi verduideliking verskaf het wat as jy dit self navors, en jou antwoord sal wees. Konstantheid en herhaalbaarheid, maar julle ouens wat uit die vlak kant van die genepoel gekruip het sal net aanhou en aanhou sukkel met wat in die diepkant en met diepte en die kwantifisering daarvan geskied. Sien, mens kan nie diepte koop nie.
@Deon: Baie geluk, wat was die gemiddelde telling of die geweegde gemiddelde telling of gee jy nie om nie want julle eerstes het gewen?

Cherries 24-18 Monnas
Taai wen gewees.
@AbsolutMenlo: eg is baie goed afgerig, teen Helpies ook gewys hulle is n great span. Hulle word mos deur Regardt afgerig. Ek was daar die aand op Loftus toe Regardt vir Menlo coach en met 60 verloor, toe jaag DIE Menlopark hom weg.
Wat gaan aan by Die Menlo ? White wash teen Helpies en vandag white wash deur Nories, nie net n wen nie, beide die 1ste en 2de span het 70 punte gevat.
Wys ons julle is consistent, jaag AL DIE RUGBY AFRIGTERS weg, julle lyk sleg.
Op n ander Noot. Een van die beste Paul Roos games wat ek in n rukkie gekyk het, baie goed. Vandag se wen sal seker Secunda weer in perspektief sit dat hulle n top 10 span is.
@Kaya 85: WOW
@Smallies: Om Bosman ‘n genie te noem op sy gebied , is ‘n reuse onderbeklemtoning. Wat ‘n ongelooflike talent. As mens sy lewe bestudeer, spesifiek ook rondom die moord wat hy gepleeg het, en die hofsaak , besef mens hy was een of ander vorm van ‘n savant. My gunsteling van al sy werk, by verre, The Rooinek, omdat dit so ongelooflik diep is. Traantrekker mooi.
Van diep gepraat, sê vir jou pelle in die Marico ons kan die gemiddelde afstand, Bo (Noord), tot onder (Suid) vir hulle meet, dus gemiddelde diepte vanaf die Steenbokskeerkring , vanaf Shingwedzi tot by hulle bo-op die Vaal Frans Joubert-Berg meet, ek en Oud-Affie, en vra of daar al ooit ‘n Bosveldpapegaai daar gesien is. Ek het laas jaar, na 20 jaar, al die spesies bome in die Bosveld afgemerk en gefotografeer toe ek SA Boom 455 afgetick het, die Laventelboom. Dis Bosveld, met ‘n B, daar mag dalk stukkies bosvel , met ‘n b, in die Marico en Oos-Kaap wees, maar baie meer in die Oos-Kaap.
Geluk aan al die Paul Roos manne..welverdiende wen op Brug.
Jeppe 31 – 33 Affies
Pragtig PRG, WOW, tweede keer hierdie jaar my bek stil gespeel.
Dankie HJS Paarl, great klomp seuns, great klomp old boys-ou vriendskappe herbevestig.
PRG se forwards het die een gewen. Boishaai se agterlyn lyk gevaarlik .
35-12 met 4min oor vir PRG
What a comeback EGJ!
Kloof 19 – 0 voor halftyd en gaan druk eerste in die tweede helfte om dit 26 – 0 te maak. EGJ wys baie karakter stuit Kloof se sterk bal draers, begin self momentum kry en wen 31 -26.
Lyk my PRG gaan hierdie een vat
@Deon: se daai vir die mense wat daar bly….Bosman se boeke was van die beste leesstof wat ek al ooit die vooreg gehad het om te lees …baie beter as die crap wat vandag gepromofeer word as skryfkuns…
@Smallies: Hey Smallies, Nathaniel sou darem baie die moer in wees as jy sy mede De-Kuilen Skool (in substansie en vorm) leerling, Herman Bosman, ‘n Bosvelder noem, nie dat die Groot Marico grasvelde enigsens Bosveld is of eers herinner daaraan nie.
@tzavosky: Ek het mense in die Groot Marico ,Bosman se wereld ,en daardie wereld is maar wat ek asosieer met die bosveld,so Vryburg ,Sweiser, Swart Ruggens ,Groot Marico ,Zeerust is vir my bosveld
Grey Kollege se 2 weke beesteslagting duur goed voort.
Grey Kollege teen Monument

16A: Grey wen 46-0
@Rainier: Dankie vir die updates.Kan jy die eerstes ook stuur asb.
@Smallies: Ek vermoed die manne noord van die Magaliesberg – Potties, Ellisras, All Days – sal iets te sê wil hê oor Vryburg in die Bosveld!
Aan die anderkant, Herman Charles Bosman het ‘n storie geskryf oor ‘n ou wat wou gaan uitvind waar die Kalahari begin, en het elke 100km weswaarts gestop en mense gevra – elke keer het hulle vir hom gesê dis nog 100km wes, tot hy by ‘n punt gekom het waar iemand vir hom gesê het hy is al 100km oos uit hom uit!
Grey 46-0 Monnas /16
Grey 24-0 Monnas /16 halftyd
Was 17-0 na 7 minute – die res van die helfte was baie gelyk gewees.
BHS-PRG u16A’s 34-28 full-time. Decent game and the score is probably a very fair reflection.
Grey 31-3 Monnas /15
Behalwe vir die 5 minute voor halftyd was die wedstryd baie gelykop. Monnas het ‘n goeie span met ‘n paar lekker game breakers.
@Rainier: nee ,net anderkant Vryburg
Close start at PRG vs BHS. u14A’s 10-7 for BHS, u15A’s 0-17 for PRG. Currently halftime at the u16A’s 17-14 to BHS.
@Smallies: Kathu?
Halftyd Grey 24-3 Monnas /15
Teeling was 5-3 met 5 minute oor voor halftyd.
@Smallies: sorry val ek myself in die rede ,ek sit tans so 400km wes van JHB en ek moet se die weer hier in die bosveld is ook nie nice nie
@Rainier: wk sit tans so 400km wes van JHB…
@Ringo: mate South Afgica would not be South Africa without its Souties and Dutchmen ….
Grey 47-21 Monnas /14
Koud op die Ras.
@Ringo: Yep, we at Glenwood took the snotklap for a few years, no longer and no point. A team is just about competitive the rest is all about keeping the score under 100. Raised the bat a few times vs Affies and Grey…..
Loving all this English! Takes me back to when the blog started….easy to read…2-3 Jeppe!
@Ringo: Just like the SS soutie teams keep the Winelands school rugby elite humble and honest down in the Cape I believe Jeppe, KES, PBHS must do the same up here.
@Ringo: Affies 1st team their worst in a very, very long time and Jeppe has more than a decent team. It could be Jeppe’s chance for an upset. Remember you beat Monnas. I agree that your other teams might suffer, but you must keep on playing with the big boys! Nothing wrong with barking with the big dogs even if you get bitten a bit and nothing wrong with the Jeppe rugby program either.
@Hanswors:and khaya 85 I can forward it to you or go to ruggas website. Listed there as well
@Ringo: I think you’re being optimistic with that 2 win 1 draw prediction. I think Jeppe might get 1 …(might) but at maybe 4 other games will be within 10 points …Gone are the days when Potch Boys could beat Jeppe…
If it was according to me I would rather Jeppe be playing against Potch boys and Springs Boys combined tomorrow….. Affies be playing Beeld troffee rugby tomorrow….. that would feel more like 2004 ….. but hey guess we got to live in the here and now
Tomorrow jeppe will win 2 games and draw 1 of 19 and also every team that keeps the score under 50 in their games will be winners in my eyes….. personally I think playing rugby against Affies is a futile venture for Jeppe…… applications for injuries…
But when I speak to my brother and those in the school who know …… they attribute playing against Affies to the improvement in the rugby at Jeppe …. apparently losing to Affies is better than beating Saint David’s by 50 points….. I am not sure how ….. but I know nothing about rugby in a true sense…..so tomorrow I push my pram up the hill to watch two soutie schools Springs Boys and Jeppe High school for boys take on a rugby gaint of our land
@Deon:
1984
Was the year,
Danie Gerber scored a hat trick at Ellis Park for the Boks in the 2nd test vs England to help clinch the series 2-0. Errol Tobias and Gerrie Sonnekus also scored tries.
@Trots HJS (Tandem): it must have been “Smiley” and “Boelboel”
@Djou: I any undemocratic country, Orwellian or not, the Winston Smiths living citizen of Airstrip One, despite Big Brother, Newspeak, Room 101, also think what they want. No-one can stop them.
Substantiating your assertions……more important and relevant on SBR (Socialist Bere Republic) as well as SBR blog. Greatest civilizations ever were built on that premise.
@star: yeah, soft spot for Pta Boys High… do u think House will prevail?
@Trots HJS (Tandem): oy vey !!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@OUD ANKER: Just checking if it is true about Smallies and Boerboel ?
@Snelvuur: Dis goeie nuus, beide dat ons span volsterkte is, en dat daar geen vesrskonings kan wees nie. Ek bly by my voorspelling dat HJS wen met minimum 8 punte. My wens is dat, in die PRG/HJS game, en alle ander games, daar geen beserings is nie. Daardie HJS laaitie, Chris, se besering het my nogal die skrik op die lyf gejaag en ek is bitter verlig hy klink OK.
@Kaya 85: Yeah, I had little time to read through that, but I too call that bullshait by Djou. Bollocks. In the past though, am not revisiting that post by Djou, too long ago.
@BlouLou: Waar kon ons dsie spanne bekyk?
@BlouLou: can’t wait to see
@Ploegskaar: Ek is nie nou met jou nie..
@JongMatie: Ons beurt kom 22 Julie teen die sterbelaaide HJS Cravenweek span
@Snelvuur: Mentoor en Jordaan nog uit vir HJS.
Volsterkte span aangekondig vir PRG vir môre – eerste keer sedert Wildeklawer.
Geen verskonings op daardie front nie!
@Ploegskaar: Jy mis n goeie dag op die Koevert my maat.
@Kantman: Gaan beslis sorg dat ek vroegoggend uit die Paarl ontsnap. Bellville/SACS is die plan, min lekkerder as ‘n neutrale chill en watch op die Dawie de Villiers
@Kaya 85: Hi there. I think you asked about the trails for the Bulls regarding CW. Bulls region has put together 4 or 5 teams to play against Valke next week as part of their trails. But from the look of the teams it seems most positions are already locked down.
@star: It all depends who runs out fit tomorrow and who has the least injuries. If Glenwood are at full strength and with home advantage I hope they can sneak it. We need a big local scalp.
@Kaya 85: You keep on backing Pretoria Boys. House to continue the Midlands bashing. While I hope your prediction for the GW v Hilton game is correct, I have a horrible feeling it will be a lot closer and could swing either way. The Grassies are hopping mad
@Kaya 85: In a democratic country you are free to believe what you want.
I will say this though, do not confuse a project with my personal viewpoints.
The latter has not changed.
@Snelvuur: Ek sien daar is 28 wedstryde op Brugstraat Saterdag. Dink nie daar gaan plek vir ‘n muis wees nie.
@BoishaaiPa: solank die pale daar breër is as op Brugstraat, dan het ons nog ‘n kans!
What next? ‘Oh it was a marketing campaign to attract more comments to the blog, to increase and improve user engagement…’ ‘Oh, I just wanted to see what kind of a reaction I would get if I harped on and on and on about how Affies and Dr Edwards disrespected us…how the average score calculations are such an injustice….I’m really such a nice guy I just want a bit of respect’ …
Utter nonsense. Djou, you have acted in outright Bad Faith. How can anyone take you seriously ever again?
Morning gents, enjoy the fantastic rugby coming up this weekend.
About the Djou misinformation and disinformation saga, fake news, bogus social media research experiment…or whatever he wants to call it. What kind of a stunt is this Djou? Utter nonsense and mischief making…and now we are meant to believe your story??
‘Oh, I admit that I was just spreading disinformation and deception…but now you can believe me, trust me, it was all for a good purpose and rest assured, you can believe my story, I’m an economist’
@Djou: Manne, manne van die blog, glo julle wragtag hierdie far fetched k*k storie waarmee Djou nou vorendag gekom het??!! Wat is volgende…Smallies is gay en Boerboel is in werklikheid sy boyfriend en Deon is actually ‘n moerse nederige ou wat glad nie glo hys die slimste ou op die blog nie en Kaya is a BIG Blue Bull supporter and Grasshopper is actually a farmer from Senekal in the Free State and I am an alchemist wat die Paashaas as ‘n troeteldier aanhou…
@BoishaaiPa: Dit mag dalk net werk …
@Snelvuur: Boishaai changed the venue…we will be playing on Girls High’s astroturf and no line outs allowed.
@Snelvuur: Good assessment – it is going to be interesting through all the age-group A teams. I predict an AVERAGE 50% win ratio.
@BoschBoy: well, it’s just got a whole lot more interesting with the amount of rain Paarl has received today. Rain is normally a big leveller, but I think even a heavier, more muddy field would favour PRG. HJS’s back three are electric, but that becomes tougher in the mud.
The weather is still forecast to clear up before Saturday but, even so, the field will definitely be heavier than it was against Grey.
I’m not overly optimistic though. Paarl is, historically, a tough place for PRG to go. I’m hopeful about the u15s and u16s. PRG’s u14s are extremely inconsistent (beat Gim and Affies but lost against you guys). First team I think HJS are very strong favourites, though the weather evens it out slightly.
@Djou: Net solank hulle meer wedstryde en die gemiddelde telling wen sal hulle gelukkig wees.
Hope Affies will rise and fly very high Saturday. Jeppe will not be easy!
@Smallies: hahahha ;-)
@Grasshopper: not in your arms mate 😂😂😂😂
@Smallies: All I ever wanted, all I ever needed…..
@Snelvuur: I’m not sure tbh, but yeah the amount of injuries we picked up against you guys was concerning. Hopefully they are minor and the boys recover
Yeah we have a solid team, our loosies look a good unit. Struggling in the backs though, thats an area we need to improve.
How are you feeling going into the big game on Saturday? I’m impressed with Paul Roos this year, I thin kyou stand more than a decent chance on the weekend!
@BoschBoy: have the guys recovered after the PRG game? That game ended with uncontested scrums due to a number of injuries to Bosch’s front rankers. Would be a shame if your third-string front row had to play against Wynberg.
Bosch’s team seems pretty decent though – especially the loose trio caught my eye.
@Kaya 85: A fair prediction for the Bosch – Berg game. I’ve been impressed with how we’ve bounced back since the loss to Durbanville, we’ve improved a lot of aspects of our game (defence especially). Our forwards are solid. But our backline is struggling to find cohesiveness in attack or pose any real threat, which is concerning.
If we can keep it tight and improve our attack, I think it could be a close game. But I’m expecting Berg to win this one, they’ve been very impressive this year and put in a great performance against Paarl Boys where they got very unlucky.
I’ve gone for Berg by 5 but wouldn’t be surprised if its more.
@Roger: they can only do harm….
@Smallies: words are very unnecessary…….
@beet: as an outsider (to HJS), my main concern with them has been their discipline. They conceded loads of stupid penalties against Grey – I think Grey’s first three tries all started with penalties conceded by HJS. I think they were also slightly lucky to keep 15 men on the field – in the first half there was about three no-arms tackles in one movement that luckily weren’t punished. Last year, one of the guys still playing also got a red card for a silly clean-out (if I recall correctly) against PRG.
They are a super talented team, but, at times, it feels like they just need a cool, calming influence to settle them down. It’s almost as if they get too psyched up, too eager to do well and then concede a host of penalties.
If they sort that out they will probably beat PRG on Saturday.
@Roger: he realy wants somebody to share his innermost thoughts with ….
@Kaya 85: “Just can’t get enough” of your predictions Kaya. “Enjoy the silence” on Monday
All we see is black and white 
@beet: song is Personal Jesus.
@Trots HJS (Tandem): I guess you have to start with what would you like Boishaai to do better this Saturday. Definitely lineout work than against Grey. Better discipline than against Wynberg. And definitely the same BMT as against Wynberg when behind on the scoreboard and there is just one last chance and 50m away to the line. Also definitely the same character as against Grey when the score is 18-39 and the spirit in the boys brings it back to a respectable 30-39.
@Kaya 85:
Reach out, Touch faith!
I love it.
When I was at school our 1st XV prop was a die hard Depeche Mode fan. Top band!
@Strepie: I am very downbeat about our chances. @BoishaaiPa: Dit is nou ‘n great idee !
@Strepie: I am very downbeat about our chances.
@BoishaaiPa: Dir moes voor die runderpes gewees het.
@Deon: ek het al gesien hoe n wind rolbosse 2m hoog op stapel teen n wildwerende heining in die Wes Vrystaat….hoe daai selde wind die lug in n Madmax rooi verander soos dit die stof van daai lande af opwaai
@Kaya 85: haha! No worries, we’ve been playing the game since 1910, officially since 1915 as there were teachers in the previous years sides. We known for playing overaged players (eg teachers), scouting & buying. Not too many like that we went ‘professional’ before them so had a jealousy complex whilst we won. Been playing rugby way before Joburg schools & not new kids on the block. Produced 8 Boks & should normally rank in the top 30 in a good year or Top 50 in a bad. We used to field 25 teams but now more like 18. For Saturday, it’s our Old Boys Day, so anything can happen. We lost up in Hilton last year by a close margin, some say with some very iffy reffing. So the boys will want to take revenge. I know Hilton are well drilled & structured so tough to call. Close I think, maybe with our blitz wing Gamede or fullback Williams scoring in the dying secs.
@BoishaaiPa: Dis al vir baie jare die instelling by meeste Noordvaal skole, ek weet net van monnas wat dit nie altyd so doen nie.
@Rainier: Toe ek in Stulting was het J-Bay laerskool 20 kinders gehad en bestaan uit 1 opslaanklas op die CSV gronde!..
@Smallies: Dis jammer ons kan nie fotos hier aflaai nie, ek sal baie graag Hondeklipbaai se rugbyveld vir julle ouens wil wys, a1sook hoe daai stormwind uit die see die rolbossies oor die veld waai..
@Kaya 85: My predictions are similar to yours. I have Boishaai winning PRG by 8 or more, rest also similar.
@Smallies: Ons Departementele tennis span speel teen WP tennis (Maties studente ingesluit). Ek wen, was dit nie vir die wind het ek 6-0, 6-0 verloor. Die WP tennis span was daardie jaar die RSA kampioene. Wind is ‘n wonderlike ding vir die “underdog”
@Leelu: ek was op n rugby toer eiland en Kaapstad toe ,ons het een middag op die Strand se strand toutchies gejol met n woeste wind wat gewaai het ,daardie aand het dit gelyk of ons sonbrand het soos die sand ons gepiets het in daai wind….
@Smallies: Strand is ook nie jou wind maatjie nie. Soos Rainier tereg sê – kusdorpe is ietwat winderig
@Kaya 85: Thank you!
@Grasshopper: yikes, let’s hope it motivates them….but what’s your prediction? L o l Basically what I know about Glenwood is from your posts thr last 3 weeks
@Kaya 85: Glenwood to lose at home on our Old Boys day? Glenwood players read that here please and post it on the archway in the change room. Dixons to throw out an upset…..2-3-WOOD! OGA!
Predictions and Predilections:
Durban High School 29 – 17 Kearsney (DHS back on track if injuries permit)
Glenwood 16 – 24 Hilton (so if this Hilton team is that good, this margin too close)
St Charles 13 – 33 Maritzburg College (Maritzburg derby, big day out, but same result as always)
Bishops 22 – 20 Stellenberg (guaranteed to be close)
Paarl Boys High 25 – 19 Paul Roos (home ground advantage = 6 points)
Rondebosh 24 – 34 Wynberg (Wynberg must punish Bosch – at home)
Outeniqua 30 – 20 Oakdale (if it’s cold and windy Oakdale will be happy, if not Ouch)
Monument 20 – 36 Grey College (maybe 20 -22 with 5 minutes left, then 6th gear Grey)
Pretoria Boys High 21 – 18 Michaelhouse (polite hosts play nice, otherwise should thrash House)
Jeppe 27 – 24 Affies (In the voice of Depeche Mode 1990: “Reach out and touch faith”)
Noordheuwel 29 – 19 Menlopark (Menlo building, getting close, Noordheuwel want this one)
Garsfontein 38 – 20 Marais Viljoen (Bere WILL have a speed wobble, maybe not this week, but MV will soften them up)
Waterkloof 19 – 20 EG Jansen (close one this…home advantage = 6)
Dr Malan 14 – Anker 37 (Oud Anker say it’s so…I have no idea)
St Benedicts 19 – 17 St Albans (Watch Bennies power prop)
St Johns 16 – 46 King Edward’s (could be worse)
Parktown 25 – 15 St Davids (vibes and guts over guts)
(can I beat 83%)
Selborne 53-14 Grens. Junior team scores were a bloodbath, 50s and 60s all for Selborne.
@Palma: keep us posted about the Selborne v Grens game pls
@Rainier: jis ja maar JBay laerskool was nog altyd n fris laerskool gewees ,tussen Stulting en Jeffreys baai laerskool het Kouga goeie laerskole
@BoishaaiPa: Om in die wind in te skop as hy van die see af waai is basies onmoontlik.
Ek kan ook so bietjie met Jbay spog vandag – hulle het die meeste CW verteenwoordigers in die A/B spanne. Nie te sleg vir ‘n klomp surfers nie.
@Rainier: ek was by n Stulting sport dag een jaar wat die een ref later maar geen forward passes geblaas het in die agterlyn nie ….
@Rainier: Janee..die wind kan pomp daar. Ek het iewers n videoclip gesien van n man wat pale toe skop toe eindig die bal agter die kwartlyn…dink dit was iewers in Ierland gewees. Dan moet jy weet die wind waai!
@BoishaaiPa: JBay as die wind waai is ook nie speletjies nie.
@BoishaaiPa: Die wind op die plaas is rof, en koud!
@Kantman: Inderdaad is Markotter moeilike plek vir skoppers…ek weet nie of dit swaer veld oppervlak of daai dwarrel windjie is nie…maar as wind sterk waai is die plaas by Boland Landbou ook nie n skopper se maaitjie nie…nie eers Ploegskaar sal daai bal met n drone tussen die pale deur kry nie!..
@Snelvuur: Ek dink Markotter is waarskynlik die moeilikste veld in die land vir skoppers – dalk die rede dat die manne vroeg moed opgee om die span se skopper te word …
@Snelvuur: dit is so ,maar soos ek gese het ek is maar n tradisionalis wat die goed aan betref ,ek laaik die tweedespan voor die eerste span….
@BoishaaiPa: dis nou n stat wat vir my sin maak ,want dis n individiele span ,dit kan ek herkou en te kere gaan mee ,dit vertel my baie oor die twee spanne oor die jare deur ….maar om dit te vergroot na die hele skool toe is nie vir my sinvol nie …
@Smallies: ek stem 100% saam – geen speler sou daardie kans opgee nie. As ek ooit die geleentheid gehad het (ek het nie – ek het myself redelik aan die ander kant van die spektrum, in die o19J-span, bevind), sou ek ook nie die geleentheid opgee nie.
Ek dink @BoishaaiPa se punt is dat ons spelers meer moet beskerm (ook teen hulself). Ek het geen statistiek daaroor nie, maar ek sal skat dat jou waarskynlikheid om seer te kry baie groter is as jy back-to-back wedstryde moet speel.
@BoishaaiPa: nee ek verstaan dit als ,ek is mos maar n tradisionalis jong …
@BoishaaiPa: ek dink die onlangse wedstryde tussen PRG en HJS wys twee belangrike goed oor skolerugby:
1. Om ‘n goeie en betroubare skopper te hê is baie belangrik. PRG soek al vir baie jare vir een, maar, met die uitsondering van Kade Wolhuter, het hulle nog nie een gehad nie. Kyk na laasjaar se wedstryd, byvoorbeeld: tot die 69ste minuut toe was die telling 28-15, met HJS wat 4 drieë gedruk het en PRG 3. HJS se skopper het egter 4/4 geskop en PRG s’n 0/3. Minus die verskil in betroubaarheid van hulle skoppers, kon die verskil op daai stadium 7 of minder gewees het, wat ‘n heeltemal ander ball game is. Dit het ook in 2013 die verskil gemaak.
My vrees is dat dit Saterdag weer die verskil gaan wees. HJS het weer ‘n puik stelskopper en PRG s’n is maar aan-en-af.
2. Die marges is fyn en tellings reflekteer nie altyd die kwaliteit van die span (of spel) nie. Boishaai se span van 2018 wat 44-8 verloor het, het ‘n lostrio gehad van Gideon van Wyk, Evan Roos en Louwhan Horn (almal nou professionele spelers), met Quan Horn op vleuel. Hulle het baie kanse gehad, veral in die eerste helfte en die telling kon maklik anders gelyk het. Selfde met PRG verlede jaar (al was dit ‘n baie swakker PRG-span) is die eindtelling nie noodwendig verteenwoordigend van hoe naby die wedstryd by tye was nie. Hierdie perspektief is iets wat mens ook in gedagte moet hou as mens kyk na uitslae soos Grey s’n teen Affies verlede week.
Sleuteloomblikke swaai wedstryde, en wedstryde wat lyk soos ‘n “blowout” is nie altyd so eensydig soos dit lyk nie.
Selborne vs Grens is today. Grens love their midweek fixtures
@Smallies: Jy het dit nou gevra…maar totale punte laaste 45 wedstryde tussen 1ste spanne is HJS 653 PR 590..Avg telling is 14.5 vs 13.1…maak daarmee wat jy wil….Totale games gespeel wen HJS 27 PR 17 met 1 draw.
@Smallies: Dit gaan hier meer oor speler bestuur as status van seccies. Hulle sal steeds die Seccies bly..maak nie saak hoe laat hulle speel nie…dis maar net my siening.
Kan iemand asb n voorspelling waag op die gemiddelde telling tussen PRG en Boishaai🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Snelvuur: maar hy sal ook nie daai kans om dit te doen vir enige iets verruil nie .maak nie saak hoe brutal dit is nie ,veral nie as dit sy eerste kans is nie
@BoishaaiPa: ek vermoed dit sal maar die norm raak later ,alhoewel ek nie n aanhanger van dit is nie ,ek voel daai spot is gereserfeer vir die tweede spanne …
@BoishaaiPa: ek is geneig om saam te stem. In PRG se wedstryd die afgelope naweek het Rondebosch se eerstespan stut in die eerste 5min seergekry en moes die tweedespan stut (wat die hele vorige wedstryd gespeel het) opkom om nog 65min te speel. Dis brutal.
Ek wonder hoekom het skole nog nie besluit om die o/16A die hoof voorwedstryd te maak voor o/19A nie sodat die seccies se reserwes darem n effe ruskans het indien hulle benodig word vir 1ste span. Sien die naweek het Cherries vroeer gespeel juis om dit te bewerkstellig. O/16A is tog jou volgende potensiele groep 1ste span spelers…gee hulle die eer op net voor Eerstes te speel en gee jou seccies reserwes n langer ruskans.
@Rainier: ‘n Aversie vir beide nuanse en die genuanseerde gebruik van statistiek? Waarom?
@Wonder: Nuanse man.
@Kaya 85: Re Jeppe. They play Saints and Bennies teams at Bennies. All Jeppe teams except 1st, 2nd and u16A, so I need to remove that fixture
@Snelvuur: I rest my case.
@Wonder: slapende honde en ou koeie. Net ter (her)bevestiging – ek het op geen stadium ‘n gemiddelde telling maatstaf aangehang nie. Blyk my dis maar ‘n wit-en-swart wêreld in Pretoria-Oos met nie baie ruimte vir nuanse nie.
En ja, dit is die eerstespantellings. Die geskiedkundige rekords oor die ander spanne is maar skraps.
@Roger: Roger. Prefects room ! Monday at 07:30 sharp !!!
@Kaya 85: it was, Durban’s deepest darkest woods…
@Vleis: it did we started to get all the Dutchman on the Bluff to attend Glenwood instead on Andries Pretorius, Dirkie Uys & Port Natal…we had to versus the Hilton z post matric men (that’s for Bushy)….point is Glenwood ain’t no new kid 👦 on the block…
@Kaya 85: Lekker man.
@Snelvuur: Is die gemiddelde tellings van al die spanne of net die Eerstes?
@Kaya 85:
@Vleis: back then it was literally in the ‘Woods
@Grasshopper: Apparently, the Bluff was not a great catchment area in 1915…but it improved significantly over the next 100 years, resulting in the big GW win in 2014!!
Glenwood vs Hilton, the ‘grudge’ match after the close game in 2022. At home I’m hoping the boys in green can upset the apple-cart. Our oldest official rivalry since 1915, Played 99, Glenwood won 39, Hilton won 55, Draws 5. Biggest Glenwood win 67- in 2014. Hilton biggest win 46-0 in 1915, that was massive considering the value of tries then….
@Roger: lol
wild
@OudAffie: @Kaya 85: never thought I would say this but ……
“all we see is black and white, black and white, black and white” 
@OudAffie: Asseblief, daar is nog baie relevant statistieke, DIEPTE gekwantifiseer, met ander woorde gemiddelde tellings.
Wenners = Stellenberg (5-ish), Boishaai (8+), Wynberg (5+), Strand (20), Parel Vallei (15). Grey (20), Affies(10), Garsies (ver), Secunda (ver)
Week op week is skole rugby tops – ek het serious FOMO, hoe gaan ek by alles uitkom?
@Snelvuur: I have noticed that PRG last won, in Paarl, in 2003 (20 years ago).
Maybe an upset on the cards!
@OudAffie: i just want to do a quick calculation, what the average score is over last 10 years
@Smallies: so much psychology in the game…mindset needs to be 100% on point.
@ Beet,
why is Jeppe playing against St Stithians at St Benedicts on Wed? …trials?
@Snelvuur: jip wou nog by hulle uitkom ,Ja Stellenberg sal maar n wyle vat om aan te pas in die A liga ,daar is letterlik nie een sagte game nie….
@Smallies: Rondebosch-Wynberg en Bishops-Stellenberg ook. Stellenberg is sover die “amper”-span van die seisoen, wat basies elke week naelskraaps verloor.
Dink dit sal goed wees vir hulle rugby om ten minste een wen oor die “A-liga”-skole te kry. Ek dink Bishops kan dalk daardie een wees.
@Smallies: Boishaai ,PRG.
N paar lekker games die naweek, Fichies ,Voortrekker n potensiele wesgro semi final
Potch interskole
Grey vs Witbulle II
Kloof ,EG
@Snelvuur: Puik!
Paarl Boys vs Paul Roos in Paarl has the potential to be epic. The fixture has been slightly underwhelming in recent years though, with the last really close game being in 2014 when Paul Roos scored 2 minutes after the 70 minutes had elapsed to win the game.
Historical results for the last 20 years (home team first):
2022: 15-35 PBH
2019: 29-16 PBH
2018: 44-8 PRG
2017: 21-9 PBH
2016: 3-28 PBH
2015: 29-10 PBH
2014: 17-13 PRG
2013: 20-19 PBH
2012: 17-22 PBH
2011: 20-18 PBH
2010: 31-17 PRG
2009: 16-11 PBH
2008: 42-29 PRG
2007: 26-8 PBH
2006: 10-6 PRG
2005: 16-11 PBH
2004: 22-7 PRG
2003: 9-12 PRG
2002: 18-18
Paarl Boys 11 wins, PRG 7 wins and 1 draw.
In the last 10 years, however, PBH have had the clear advantage, winning 7 of 9 since 2012.
At the moment, the weather looks cold but sunny for Saturday – good news for PBH’s electric back three. I hear rumours about the fitness of their star fullback JC Mars though: he did not feature against Wynberg.
Paul Roos have a good, but young, pack – with standouts Oliver Reid, Christiaan de Villiers, Ryan Jack and Riley Norton (who did not play against Rondebosch). The two standout backs for me thus far are also two grade 11 boys: Keenan Stoffels (15) and Samuel Badenhorst (13).
If PRG can pull it off, it will be their first win in Paarl since 2003.
@Kaya 85: If they write Affies off based on last week they will be in for a very rude awakening in my opinion
I think it’s going to be a good game, Affies will have a psychological battle of their own to get over last week … but these are the games that bring out character. I agree, Jeppe have a real opportunity to win a fixture they have never won before, but they must not let the ocassion get the better of them, they must just play their game like they did against Monument.
Affies vs Jeppe Boys High School History
1996: AHS won 39-3
1997: AHS won 87-0
1998: AHS won 34-16
2010: AHS won 62-0
2011: AHS won 39-20
2012: AHS won 52-3
2013: AHS won 36-18
2014: AHS won 23-11
2015: AHS won 64-26
2016: AHS won 52-32
2017: AHS won 52-22
2018: AHS won 45-41
2019: AHS won 47-28
2022: AHS won 35-17
2014 and 2018 games standout for me where any team could have won. 2018 more so Jeppe with Affies stealing a win at the death.
This will be a big game. Jeppe is no pushover and beat Monnas this season. Lots of respect for the stripped boys from Joburg. Affies right for the plucking after the past weekend. Game also in Kensignton. Jeppe might just get their first win and double over the Witbulle teams in Gauteng.
I am reserving my right to make a prediction.
