@HSBR (Comment #111)
Tjaart might not be the most gregarious person out there, but as a coach he is brilliant with a long track record of success. If the school let him go because of parents complaining they absolutely deserve the slippery slope they are on. And I am sure Jannie is a nice guy, but I am not sure about his coaching credentials.
@Wonder (Comment #117)
Ek stem – hy het vroeër in die game nog 2 skoppe van dieselfde kant af en wat albei effens makliker was, mis geskop. So, om daai een teen die kantlyn oor te klits om die game te wen is waarvan drome gemaak word – hy sal dit jare en jare nog onthou. PS: stem saam, die aangee vir die drie was nie vorentoe nie. Stem egter nie saam met die strafskop nie. Die Garsie speler het die bal aangeslaan, so die Menlo speler het nie meer met fors ingegaan in die tackle nie. Plus as die strafskop vir gevaarlike/vuilspel was (enigste manier hoe die aanslaan override kon word), moes die strafskop op die 15m gegee word en nie teen die kantlyn nie. 3 Foute deur die skeidsregter in 1 minuut. Maar gelukkig het dit alles uitgekanseleer in die resultaat – no harm no foul.
@Loubser (Comment #116)
… trek ‘n truitjie aan!
@Wonder (Comment #117)
… grap net … dit was puik uit die hoek vir ‘n wen. Wel gedaan vir die jong man.
… gesien die skopper se oe was toe
@Garsieoldboy (Comment #109)
Ek moet bieg, toe Garsies besluit om pale toe te skop het ek nie gedink daai skop gaan oor wees nie. Dis heerlik om verkeerd te wees.
MENLO RUGBY
@Grizzly (Comment #114)
Ja, hulle het alles gegee en Gars het steeds wat telbord aanbetref gemaklik gewen. Gars is ongetwyfeld die highflyers in die Cup.
Darem lekker om te sien Menlo is weer kompeterend by die senior spanne.
@AbsolutMenlo (Comment #110)
Geluk met Menlo! Ekt net die highlights kon kyk sover maar daars defentief afrigting en Baie guts. Kon sien in hulle body lanuage hoe gutted hulle was met die verloor. Alles op die veld gelos. Goed om te sien! Sal vorentoe weer speel, dis verseker.
@AbsolutMenlo (Comment #110)
Snaaks as mens weet jyt nie eintlik n voet om op te staan nie huh…maar nou ja well done met die o16s!! Goeie spannetjie wat julle daar het,hoop ons kry mekaar weer in die eindstryde!!
@AbsolutMenlo (Comment #110)

@Rainier (Comment #108)
Agreed. I think Monnas will do anything to have back the type of teams they had in the 2000s, some of those teams were scary. I also do think a lot of the times schools would maybe have one good season or get hyped a lot which spills over to the kids and then you see things happen like with Tjaart
@Garsieoldboy (Comment #109)
Relax … Gars het gewen … jy is geregtig op jou opinie
@AbsolutMenlo (Comment #98)
tweedes was beroof? Verduidelik asb. Grizzlies n definitiewe drie gaan druk uit hulle eie helfte uit om die wedstryd te wen en is toe as n vorentoe aangee gegee (baie verdag om die minste te se). Die strafskop aan die einde (waarmee garsies toe die wedstryd gewen het) was ook n definitewe strafskop? Garsies se flank vroeer in die wedstryd n rooi gekry vir presies dieselfde. So hoe bedoel jy beroof?
@HSBR (Comment #90)
And this, in a nutshell, is why the Monnas glory years are gone.
@Rod (Comment #103)
“To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” While I’m not a fan of schools recruiting players (see my various skirmishes on this platform over the years), I really get the sense from the PBHS bloggers on here that every single thing that ostensibly goes wrong in SBR is as a result of recruitment practices, even when there is no obvious link. I have not seen the incident you referred to in the HJS-PRG game (I was at the field, so I haven’t seen the TV footage in full), but it is worth remembering that these guys are also 16 to 18 years’ old. When I was grade 8, I was a touch judge for a 5th team game between PRG and one of the Southern Suburb schools and one of the other team’s players did not agree with a call I made (in his opinion, the PRG kicker had kicked a penalty dead), so he shouted at me and squared up to me (all 152cm of me at that stage). Was this also as a result of “outsized egos, fuelled by inappropriate recruitment practices”, or is this just testosterone-filled boys doing stupid things? I agree with you that core values should not be compromised, but I think it’s wrong to see recruitment practices as the root of all evil when there are a multitude of possible causes.
Geluk HJS!
Goeie wen vir my Wes-Kaap span, Oakdale
More! @Rugbyman (Comment #104)
Wat die beserings aanbetref het ek net vir @Wonder (Comment #89) geantwoord en glad nie gese julle moan daaroor nie.
Baie geluk met die wenne … dit wil gedoen word.
Stem saam oor swak gedrag … glo die skool sal dit dadelik aanspreek.
Sterkte met die res van die seisoen!
@AbsolutMenlo (Comment #98)
Goeie more! Net vir die rekord, ons het nog nooit gemoan oor ons beserings nie. Ek het geweet Saterdag gaan kliphard wees teen Menlo, julle het ‘n goeie span. Well done. Ek glo julle sal die playoffs maak! Dis nou nie rugby nie, maar dis wel interessant dat Garsfontein met al 4 die 1ste spanne gewen het… Netbal, hokkie seuns en dogters en dan ook rugby. Dis die 1ste keer dat ons dit kon regkry.
En dan laastens… aan daai pappas wat daar bo in die hoek braai en onder andere na ons seuns geskree het hulle is *** (edited due to sensitivity of the wording used)! Sies! Dit hoort nie by Menlo of enige ander skole veld nie! Ek aanvaar die grapsap het al van vroeg af geloop, maar dis swak! Ek hoop rerig die skool sal hulle uitsorteer want ek dink nie dis aan nie!
@Kaya 85 (Comment #94)
Time to take a step back, I’m my opinion. This is not a specific reference to the SJC – SB game, but the type of behaviour which resulted in the match being called off happens in many matches every weekend, even if it’s isolated in most cases. Outsized egos, fuelled by inappropriate recruitment practices, is what drives these antics. These boys are de facto professionals, and they simply mimic what they see on TV. There should be no place for this on a schoolboy rugby field (cricket hasn’t been spared either). I watched the great game between HJS and PRG – necessarily as a neutral – but an incident involving a high profile acquisition (and an unacceptable one in my opinion unless his family relocated halfway through his high school career) pushing a ball boy out of his way was an unnecessary blemish. Whilst I fully appreciate that times change and things unavoidably move on, core values and appropriate behaviour should not be compromised in the process.

I see the Potch title goes to Potch Gim, 3rd year in a row. Heard it was a good game…wasn’t Potch Volkies the favourite to take it this year!! Saw on youtube, alot of people came out!
@Kaya 85 (Comment #94)
Eish, I hope this is not another one of your predictions
@Kaya 85 (Comment #94)
@Wonder (Comment #95)
Geluk Gars lekker rugby by Menlo.
Wat die eerste spanne aanbetref is die telbord glad nie die ware “reflection” van die wedstyd nie. Halftyd was Menlo 15 – 14 voor en daarna was dit wipplank tot Gars se twee vleuels in die laaste 5 minute besluit het tot hier toe en nie verder nie. Menlo voor het meer as hul man gestaan!
For the record Menlo ook ‘n paar beserings, maar ons praat nie daaroor.
Jammer vir Menlo tweedes … hulle was beroof.
Puik wen vir Menlo 0/16 … baie geluk!!
@Snelvuur (Comment #96)
Hy weet nie hom ander een aan te trek nie,dis al rede🤐🤐
@Wonder (Comment #95)
Ek worry nie oor wat julle vir JongMatie sê nie – toe ek uitgewys het vroeër die jaar dat PRG beserings het, het ons ook die games gewen. Oppas om almal nou onder JongMatie se bus in te gooi – hy’t nie eers ‘n PRG truitjie nie.
@Snelvuur (Comment #93)
Nee wat,jou pel vrottamatie kla altyd en probeer beserings aanbied as redes wanneer sy span verloor. Garsies het nie verloor,ek deel net feite. Die spelers kry lekker blootstelling vir res van seisoen en volgende jaar.
St Benedicts’ game v St John’s ended in a confused melee about 10 mins into 2nd half. Game had many 1st half niggles, ref spoke and spoke and warned over and again. In the 2nd half a few late tackles…more talking and warning…after St Johns last try a uniformed learner ran on to the field (possibly with either the tee or water) got pushed/bumped over. The SJC coach – a former St B teacher/ coach – was standing directly under the poles with 2 assistant coaches, so when the try was scored, the scorer who had crossed the line near the right then ran closer to the poles, big tackle attempt but defender shouldered, the try scorer was then basically by his coach as he dived to score…then pushing and shoving after the whistle…apparently the coach received a push…he was in with the melee..apparently he slapped a player ( I did not see that, heard after). Then the ref spoke sternly and another round of final final warnings ..from the kickoff a tackle against a player in the air, so the ref blew final whistle, game over. Very disappointed spectators as you can imagine. Players too…I think we would have preferred he dished out some yellow cards earlier instead of endless verbal warnings. But there u go, heard some fans muttering about those entitled spoiled private school boys…
…don’t know which they were referring to.
@Wonder (Comment #89)
Ek wil nie daai ou wees nie, maar onthou net wat aan ons gesê is aan die begin van die seisoen toe ons oor ons beserings gekla het…(en nee, ek sê nie julle mag nie daaroor kla nie, ek vra net vir konsekwentheid)
Diamantveld is besig om stil stil n baie goeie seisoen aan mekaar te sit…
@HSBR (Comment #90)
Thing is today’s kids are a bunch of primadonnas for the most part,they are soft and dont take well to discipline….then they run to mommy and daddy and they run to the headmaster.
I do think that is why traditional boys schools tend to be better,especially if they have large hostels,discipline are still being maintained there on a higher level than co ed and day schools
@Smallies (Comment #88)
Tjaart had too many complaints against him from the parents. He is a difficult guy to get along with, not really what you’d call a “people person”, but I agree. Tjaart has an impressive resume and has proved many times he can bring a school glory
Goeie wen vir Garsies, Menlo het hul hard gedruk. Beserings raak nou belaglik.
@HSBR (Comment #86)
I think they made a massive mistake getting rid of Tjaart
GREY -QUEENS
Grey forwards very good dominating again as every match.
Grey backine looks like it getting coached by the head of the music centre poor forward same old same old every week.
@Smallies (Comment #50)
Saw on the day Noordheuwel also won the majority of the games. Monnas 0/16 group, which is suppose to be the group of the school, lost all three of their matches
@Coolguy (Comment #84)
Ncutu Kepe! Still only in grade 10. That kid hits hard!
Well done Queens College. banger game, that opening tackle was mental!
It’s so funny Saffas are dronk before it’s even sunset here. Sun went down at 9pm our time 10pm SA time, Okes in bed already 🤪😂
4 standouts for me is Queens, Westville, Menlo and Oakdale
@Grasshopper (Comment #79)
Any game back in the 80’s or 90’s vs an Afrikaans School was a grudge match. You knew you were going to bleed
@Grasshopper (Comment #79)
What about Brettonwood that was another classic Bluff school
@Bush (Comment #78)
The Dirkie Uys vs Grosvenor Boys game we the Bluff Boer war….
@Kaya 85 (Comment #77)
Bennie Bezuidenhout 1989 or 1990 and Willie James Ward 1991
@Bush (Comment #74)
Who were they?
@beet (Comment #75)
Not bad when written off! Class won in the end. Proud of the Green Machine on OBs day back against the wall. Hard to compete with Northwood’s coaches & feeder area…
Glenwood gave Northwood a good run for their money today. 16-18 towards the end with Glenwood having some ball to attack with. Northwood closed it out with two tries at the death
@Grasshopper (Comment #73)
Dirkie Uys produced two Natal Schools players in 90 and 91
Fake Bluff = Wentworth, where I lived opposite Dirkie Uys Skool (now Bluff Christian Academy) on the corner of Tara and Hollesley Rd, yes. Where Vleis Visagie lived when he played for Harlequins on the Bluff & walked to practice. The school used to host elections & had full on Dutchman on horses with NP flags etc, that Bluff…
@Smallies (Comment #71)
Whahahaja just rolled my Jeep. Lekker Hopper
@Bush (Comment #69)
That would give the term Mercury poisoning a whole new meaning….
@Smallies (Comment #67)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Smallies (Comment #66)
They didn’t have that luxury on Bluff during Hoppers time. He used newspaper, that’s why he’s so clever
@Smallies (Comment #65)
Yes and a Mr Dave Anderson who a legend of a person.
@Bush (Comment #64)
Or English made biltong
@Bush (Comment #64)
Nah he’s from fake bluff it would proparbly be roll of kack paper
@Bush (Comment #63)
Was that when Skonk coached?
@Smallies (Comment #61)
I’m not going to say anything about GW as Hopper with hit me with his tea pot 😬
@Smallies (Comment #61)
Lekker Smallies, everybody wants to play Grey and if don’t have a great year. It’s not worth the effort. College back in the 80-90’s produced an unbeaten side in KZN almost every year. Then it was worth them to test their mettle against the Powerhouse of Rugby GCB.
@Boereworsgordyn (Comment #57)
I think all teams outside the top 8 would lose to PRG by 25 points or more. DHS played Oakdale last season and won.
@Bush (Comment #59)
Grey used to have Interschools games against both Maritzparra and Glenwood until 2017 Maritzparra and 2018 Glenwood…
@Kaya 85 (Comment #55)
Great result after a really tough game against College.
@Boereworsgordyn (Comment #57)
Thanks, yes they should. The only time this could happen is during festivals. I was just discussing this the other day, KZN Top school for example with play 3-5 games involving Top 10 schools. The Cape almost every game is against the top 10 schools. Stressful job being a 1st XV coach😬😬
@Kaya 85 (Comment #54)
Sorry picking up stompies😬
@Bush (Comment #53)
DHS lost by 27pts to Paarl Gym, and none of the 2 schools have played against the likes of Paarl Boys, Paul Roos, Affies, Grey, Oakdale etc. KZN teams should get an opportunity to play against the top dogs, otherwise they cannot be recognised as T10 imo.
Port Rex 17-20 Kingswood
@Bush (Comment #53)
Real score
Westville 33 – 28 DHS
@Bush (Comment #53)
Lol…
No just a prediction
About 8% chance of accuracy
@Kaya 85 (Comment #45)
What a result between DHS and WBHS. So they both remain unbeaten?
@kantako (Comment #51)
O suspect this is the end of Doc Jannie’s coaching career also…
@Smallies (Comment #50)
The rise and fall.
Have we just witnessed a passing of the torch moment in Krugersdorp ?
@Kaya 85 (Comment #48)
Few big calls here, Kaya! Stellenberg beatingOakdale would be a massive upset and would probably make this Stellenberg’s best ever season. I reckon Drostdy would be relatively happy with that score against Gim – I fear that game could get very ugly very quickly. I think PV will beat Tygerberg and establish themselves as a contender in that league. The HJS, PRG prediction is probably fair enough – time will tell.
Future Stormers Predictions
Rondebosch 28 – 30 Boland Landbou (Bosch fluff it)
Stellenberg 30 – 28 Oakdale (Pratt out surfing)
Wynberg 39 – 9 Bishops (Stiff winds)
Paarl HJS 24 – 20 Paul Roos Gim (comfortable in a tight game)
Paarl Gim 45 – 3 Drostdy (3rd gear)
Tygerberg 30 – 28 Parel Valley
Menlyn Maine Derby
Menlopark 15 – 40 Garsie Bere (Bere cannons fire)
E Cape
Queens 25 – 20 Grey (Queens Quam Lite Greys)
St Andrews 24 – 14 Selborne (too fast in the backs)
Kingswood 42 – 12 Port Rex (Kingswood in a mood)
Hudson 18 – 38 Graeme (fluid handling the secret)
KZN
Glenwood 19 – 35 Northwood (close until the last 10 mins)
Westville 40 – 40 DHS (honours even till they meet again)
Predictions Noordvaal
Affies 52 – 22 KES (te veel skietgoed virrie spiertiere)
Noordheuwel 25 – 29 Monnas (another year slips by for Nories)
Jansen 18 – 35 Helpies (Dry East Rand air, dusty field, Helpies crush it)
Wesvalia 30 – 40 Oos-Moot (Moot ploeg voort)
Marais Viljoen 35 – 22 Ligbron (Viva Alberton)
Potch Gim 28 – 26 Potch Volkies (lekker derby day innie Weste)
Merensky 15 – 16 Dinamika (long long trek, close close game)
Jeugland 19 – 21 Randburg (Jeugies come close)
Predictions North Vaal
St Stithians 27 – 25 Northcliff (home advantage clinches Randburg derby)
Parktown 30 – 22 St Davids (Solid and serious)
St Albans 16 – 40 Pretoria Boys High (Boys High find their mojo)
St Benedicts 18 – 44 St Johns (SJ click into gear)
@Snelvuur (Comment #41)
🤣🤣🤣
@Smallies (Comment #40)
Die Vrystaat is maar ‘n rowwe plek: die gras(?) is hard, die Oranje meisies breek jou hart, die Mystic Boer is net lekker tot jy die volgende oggend 08:00 op die veld is en dan bevoeter die refs jou ook nog! G’n wonder die manne like hulle brannewyn specials daar nie…
@Snelvuur (Comment #39)
Dit nou karakter als deel van Grey se opvoedings taak….
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #38)
Ek dink die PRG-gemeenskap het meer Bloem bomskok met skeidsregters as met Riversdal. Wat HJS die jaar in Riversdal moes deurmaak, moes PRG al ‘n paar keer in Bloem 😂
@JongMatie (Comment #32)
Nee maat , dan was jy nog nie op Riverdal nie !
@JongMatie (Comment #32)
yip by verre- almal weet dit- n skande- grey is/was goed genoeg om op eie te wen
@Kaya 85 (Comment #35)
Ok, sagies en teer, met baie liefde.
@Wonder (Comment #34)
Nie noodwendig hard nie
HJS gaan vir PRG hard stamp, met of sonder al die beseerdes, maak geen verskil.
@JongMatie (Comment #32)
Aaag kak man….
@OUD ANKER (Comment #30)
Ergste ergste ergste is in Bloem.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #30)
Wag net tot jy van die referees op ons werksaansoeke hoor…
@JongMatie (Comment #17)
Die refs kroek PR in Riversdale, in Bloem, in die Paarl, trust my in Pretoria kroek hulle PR nog erger, so die arme PR word orals deur die refs bedonner en dan te same met al PR se beserings en die feit dat PR ‘n baie gemiddelde span die jaar het stem ek saam jou, PR gaan met so 40 + verloor….
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #28)
Ek sal beserings update gee so teen Donderdag.
@OomPB (Comment #23)
Stem. Ek is uiters bekommerd oor Saterdag. PRG gaan moet opdaag en SPEEL anders gaan dit ‘n droewige dag op Brugstraat wees…
@Bungee (Comment #20)
Piet van Zyl wat in 2002 die ref getackle het moet nou rondom 65 jaar oud wees. Ek wonder of JongMatie hom dalk oupa noem?
@TWE (Comment #9)
I don’t agree with you. All our junior teams have enormous talent and with our new Director of Coaching ( Neil de Bruin’s ) influence these teams are doing well. I am really excited about the pipeline for the future.
@OomPB (Comment #23)
Nog nooit so ‘n klagte gehoor nie. Alle A span refs word aangestel deur WP rugby. Baie van hulle is inderdaad treurig waar hulle ook in die WP blaas .
Kan dalk kla oor die kleiner veld by Brugstraat.
@Bungee (Comment #20)
Weet ook nie hoekom hy die Paarl se refs inbring nie. Dieselfde lot blaas op Markotter. Boishaai die groot gunsteling. Sal n groot upset wees as PRG naby bly.
Sien Potch is weer verdeeld die naweek! Potch Gim teen Potch Volkies…hoor die een het baie jong span, besig met herbou en ander een meer ervaring, wonder wie vat die Potch Titel!
PRG en HJS gaan bitter hard wees!! Hopelik is dit mooi weer
@Bungee (Comment #20)
JM die verskoningkoning slaan weer toe
@JongMatie (Comment #17)
Is daar enige refs waarmee jy okay is?
Port Rex vs Kingswood is being played in East London, not at Kingswood
@JongMatie (Comment #17)
Ai man.
Ons het geen kans teen Boishaai en die Paarl refs nie.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #5)
Ek dink hulle is tog groot gunstelinge, in die konteks van die kragmeting. Nie 1000 teen 1 gunstelinge nie, maar seker rondom 2 teen 1.
@TWE (Comment #9)
No, I don’t agree with that. HJS’s u14 side hasn’t really caught fire yet, but their 15s and 16s are really good sides. It’s not even impossible that HJS wins all of the A-team games coming Saturday. They have quality sides through all the age groups.
@Smallies (Comment #10)
I feel like the senior DoR / top school management bit off more than they can chew…those lads having to play such an impossible fixture list…I mean why?
and last year they literally had committed to 2 First team matches on 1 blerry day. C’mon leadership…pride comes before a fall.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #5)
Details matter. Astute observation. Well said.
KES - AFFIES
Anyone have any updates – was really surprised (and pleased) to see the Reds pipping Nories – didn’t expect that. Well done!

Die Bere was die paas naweek af en verlede naweek.Gaan krities wees oor die volgende paar weke die rus. Einde rondtes eers na die Julie vakansie Dan is almal weer gelyk met die rus…. Behalwe al die CW spelers….

Dis bitterlik moeilik om so n skedule vol te hou ….as jou kondisionering nie topklas is nie gaan jy klippe kou….die seuns raak letterlik gatvol vir rugby,en om so teen daai top skole te speel beteken 4 dae n week oefen ,as jy dit nie gewoond is nie brand jy uit

If PBS don’t win this Saturday, it is going to be a long time before they win again given the strength in the junior teams and the money of Paul Roos. Long back to the days when Paul Roos were the weakest of the 4.

Ek het begin van die jaar al gese dat ek baie verbaas was toe ek hul skedule gesien het. Begin die seisoen teen Rustenburg, en toe 6 top 10 skole (5 van die top 6) in ‘n kwessie van n maand en n half. Gooi Jeppe en KES ook tussen in en toe begin die liga .. teen ‘n Helpmekaar. Ek kan dink daar is ‘n paar seer lywe in daai groep.

Uitgebrand …

Ek stem saam. Niemand in die top 5 is ‘n groot gunsteling nie. Grey het Saterdag bewys dat as jy 100% ingestel is, jy moelik gaan verloor. Grey was perfek ingestel vir die wedstryd teen affies. hulle lynstane was finominaal terwyl Affies weer gesukkel het daar. Verder was Grey ook beter in die los. Affies het onnodige balle weggeskop wat nie goed geplaas was nie. Dit het op drieë uitgeloop. Grey se senters is bitter goed en die agterste drie ewe goed. Ek het gedink daar was so bietjie obstruksie gehardloop met Grey se laaste drie en die verdoelskop van Grey se tweede drie het op die tv gelyk of hy regs verbygetrek het. Sterkte aan beide Boishaai en Paul Roos. Ek voorspel die een wat die beste gaan speel op die dag sal wen. Beide skole is ewe goed.

Ek stem hierdie keer saam al jou punte meneer…ek sal net die woord “groot” verwyder uit jou HJS vs Paul Roos kommentaar. Ek stem saam dat HJS die gunsteling is maar ‘n span is NOOIT ‘n “groot” gunsteling teen enige van die groot honde (soos PR) nie.

Dit is vir my asof Noordheuwel ‘n ander span is. Hulle het besonders goed vertoon teen al die groot honde maar nou?
Jissie, maar daar’s ‘n paar lekker games hierdie naweek – en ‘n paar wat “season-defining” vir ‘n paar spanne kan wees:
1. Rondebosch vs Boland Landbou – beide spanne het hul seisoene goed begin, bietjie ontspoor en kort hierdie wen om hulle seisoene op die spore te hou. Landbou kan vir Bosch aan flarde hardloop, maar met al die reën in die Kaap hierdie week; mag Bosch se pak dalk net die oorhand hê, maar dis baie, baue naby.
2. Stellenberg vs Oakdale – dis een ding om die Suwwen Subbibs spanne om te stamp, maar Oakdale is ‘n perd van ‘n ander kleur. Ek kan sien dat Oakdale se makro-pak vir Stellies boelie, maar die vorige keer wat Oakdale in die Kaap in die reën gespeel het, het hulle teen Rondebosch verloor. Dit sal ‘n groot wen wees vir Stellies, maar ek dink die Stilbaai Surfer en kie is gunstelinge.
3. HJS vs Paul Roos – HJS is definitief die groot gunstelinge vir die een, veral met hulle twee groot voorrye wat kan roteer in die nat en swaar omstandighede. Dinge raak egter moeilik vir PRG as hulle die een ook verloor na die Gim en Affies games, so hulle sal hoogs gemotiveerd wees. Ek dink ‘n ander bepalende faktor kan ook die senters wees – HJS s’n speel goeie rugby hierdie jaar terwyl PRG se senterkombinasie teen Landbou bietjie winde gesluk het.
4. Menlo vs Garsies – oppas, Garsies, daar lê piesangskille in Lynnwoodweg.
5. Nories vs Monnas – die groot kans vir Nories om Krugersdorp blou te verf. Maar Nories self sukkel maar na Noord-Suid en het laasweek teen KES die stof gebyt. Maar as hulle nie hierdie jaar wen nie, wanneer dan?
Sterkte aan HJS vs Paul Roos eerskomende Saterdag.
Altyd n spesiale geleentheid.
Mag daar geen ernstige beserings wees nie.
Dis Mei en SBR is vuurwarm, moeilik om by te hou. Weereens paar lekker derbies die naweek..
DHS/Westville
Wynberg/Bishops
Boishaai/PRG
Menlo/GF
Potch Gim/Volkies
Maar in Krugersdorp is die grote. NH se beste kans ooit?
