@BoishaaiPa (Comment #97)
Please go find where in the blog I said that. The point I made was that Winelands schools can’t be complaining about selections when they have more than enough representation amongst selectors. Why such a victim mentality??
@Grasshopper (Comment #101)
When I say always, always when I was at school and when my kids were at school. Before that doesn’t really matter. Government School behaving like a private school🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️by throw money at it????? Didn’t GW do the same thing until they realised it wasn’t sustainable. Or are you going to blame Kershawgate, the area, and and and.
It’s great to have this kind of competition in KZN. GW were the pioneers and KZN must thank them for that👏👏👏👏👏
@Bush (Comment #100)
Always? Hmmm, maybe from 1985 onwards, took them 25 years to become competitive, now they just throw money at it. A new kid on the block really…
@star, well done with Westville’s unbeaten season. Tons of hard work over the years has paid off. Westville has always been a great sporting school. Cricket, swimming, hockey, rugby, waterpolo, list goes on. 🏆🏆🏆🏆
@Grasshopper (Comment #50)
Ja man 3 2 House, more like it. These rich private schools going backwards while the money strapped government schools taking the lead. College pumping Hilton and House just losing to Westville.
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #97)
Interesting, so the 55-12 victory over Rondebosch may have had a bigger impact than the other factors mentioned.
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #96)
Your original accusation was that the BH selector are the cause that there is so many BH boys in the 2 CW teams. How can one selector overule everyone else?…The convenor is from Rondebosch and have a veto vote.
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #81)
I’m sure. If you’re a school and provincial coach obviously you’re going to favour the boys you coach at school, it’s not rocket science. My point wasn’t that they don’t deserve to be there, my point was that they have more than enough representation in selectors so they have no right to complain how many boys they have.
@star (Comment #88)
On that basis i would think WV have a great chance again. Not sure really with NW. There are a few Grade 11’s in the team i know of. We will lose out two star locks in Howe and Terblanche, and also playmaker Bongani Khumalo in the backline. They are key players. our u16A team has been good overall, so clearly some talent coming through. It all depends on postions though. Something you can have 4 or 5 good wingers now for next year, but no real standout flyhalf or lock etc. That can be tough to mitigate. NW dont seem to recuit strategiclaly to fill positions, so i hope the balance is good.

@Grizzly (Comment #85)
Ek dink jou tong was meer in jou agterwereld.
@Wondermaar (Comment #89)
😂 Jy gaan n paar manne negatief maak. Weet dis jou persoonlike opinie maar kan nie dink jy is te ver af nie. Dink Grey kan heel moontlik in die volgende 10 jaar hulle greep op die no.1 verloor
@Wondermaar (Comment #89)
Hoekom so agro? Wie stry of maak claims dat dit wat jy hier uit jou longe skreeu nie so is nie. Baie skole en spanne het in die verlede saam gepraat, meer gaan in die toekoms. Skole rugby behoort aan elke skool wat dit beoefen.
@Wondermaar (Comment #89)
Hoe het jy by jou raai ranking uitgekom?
BESTE VAN ALLE TYE IN SA
2. Bois
2. Gim
2.Roos
5. Affies
LW Drie wes kaapse se groottes GELYK!!!!!
Ander moet maar NOG BEWYS!!! hulle kan saam praat?????? ( DV oor vlg 10 jaar)
@Skywalker (Comment #71)
What is NW looking like for next year. I noticed that in the House game 6 WV players ran out first. I presume they are the matrics. That means 9 will be back next year and with a solid U16 A and virtually unbeaten 2nds it has all the makings of another solid year.
@Coolguy (Comment #74)
Who is that big Greek prop who scored a barnstorming try from an overthrow. A real cult hero. Good luck for the big derby. I think Hilton will find their mojo.
I would still like to think there is a bit of pride in defending the honor of Meadows
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #83)
Ons behoort volgende jaar weer te speel by NS of Wk.
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #79)
Tong in die kies soos jou post.
@BoishaaiPa (Comment #83)
Ja kom ons Los daai covid score!
@Grizzly (Comment #78)
Ek het dit 3-1 Vir Gim.
2015: 48-24
2016: 13-15
2017: 46-17
2021: 84-0
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #80)
Are you sure or are you guessing?..So one person’s vote can overule and count more than three others?..How did you work that one out?
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #80)

@BoishaaiPa (Comment #73)
Sean Erasmus? Why do you think half the XV team is Boishaai
@Grizzly (Comment #78)
Nee Grizzly ek het nog nooit ooit met Garsfontein gespot nie. Hoekom sal ek dit doen ? Jy het my nou in die gesig gevat my vriend. Vir die rekord , ek het net respek vir jou span.
Jou voorspelling oor interskole kan verseker gebeur , wie weet. En indien dit gebeur sal ek soos laas jaar die eerste wees om hulle geluk te wens.
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #75)
Gim gaan BH smash, jy wat die spot met die Bere dryf…. 😂Wees jy en Smalle geduldig,, die omonwendbare is baie naby.. En dit gaan vol gehou word. By the way die Bere se rekord nie te bad teen die Wynland skole nie. Gim 2-1,PRG 1 elk,BH moet ons nog wen… Sal volgende jaar.. en Boland al baie gewen.
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #75)
😂😂😂
@Wonder (Comment #61)
Sal verseker verbetering wees.
@Smallies (Comment #63)
Ek dink jou seun is baie slim jong man. Jy is gewoonlik ook nie te bad nie maar ai man ……
@star (Comment #62)
House defence was questionable, one can guess they were weary of possible injuries before this weekend’s derby?
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #35)
Can you please name all the Wineland schools selectors in the Craven Week setup?..I know of 2 and both are from Paarl Gim. The convenor and Head selector is from Rondebosch. I would really like to know who the rest are and if this is assumed or actual fact?
@Skywalker (Comment #71)
Westville’s was underwhelming, especially because two games were called off.
@KatzRugga (Comment #70)
Northwoods fixture list may compete I feel. 17 games vs 16, 3 festivals and a Jeppe away tour (so travelled 4 times), played Paarl Gym and Drostdy at Wildeklaver, St Charles fixture replaced with a 2nd match against Michaelhouse, and facing DHS twice this year again.
@star (Comment #62)
50 points was impressive. Now both Hilton and House needs a result this saturday for good season so the pressure is on. Lets see. bodies must be sore. On a different note. Pending the results College from a KZN perspective seems to have the most credible fixture list this year
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #68)
It was a draw in Durban at home, in Bloem, almost impossible for any side outside of the regular Top5. We only have one win over Grey Bloem, Warren Whiteley’s 2006 side & I don’t think that was a super strong Grey year…
@Grasshopper (Comment #66)
I must assume Westville is referring to all games across the entire season. The 2018 draw in Bloem is a remarkable achievement…destined for great teams only.
@Jan Kriel (Comment #55)
Perhaps the stats vs the top 5 are more instructive, though Paarl Boys played 2 of those matches at home.
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #65)
That can’t be true, Maritzburg College has had a few unbeaten seasons. Glenwood had 1965 and 2018. It depends if it’s undefeated in KZN or undefeated across all games in the year. The 2018 Glenwood team for me is better than this Westville side, beating Affies, Monnas, Waterkloof, Outeniqua, Drostdy, Stellenberg etc outside of KZN plus drawing with Grey Bloem.
@Grasshopper (Comment #64)
Thanks for the colour. I see it is the 1st time in their 70-year history that the 1st team is undefeated for the season…and this team is only the 4th team in KZN over the last 100 years to reach this milestone.
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #52)
Well maybe, they’ve been strong this whole century, pretty much since things went professional in the early 2000’s. They give out circa 80x bursaries and scholarships a year, some partial but still quite a bit. They did lose the 1st team hockey vs Glenwood which was a shock. They have had the best swimming team in the country for 20 years too, solidified by recruiting the whole SA schools primary A & B team each year. It’s based in a wealthier part of Durban so naturally parents prefer their kids go there. They have also ramped up numbers, in the 90’s they had just on 1,000 boys (no boarders) it’s closer to 1,400 now with I’m guessing now, probably 100x boarders. Naturally the strength in depth improves. Glenwood can only compete with them in soccer, athletics and rugby now……
@Jan Kriel (Comment #60)
Verstaan heeltemal ou maat ,nee kyk daai Paarl game gaan groot wees ,ek back vir Gim en my seun is 100% agter Boishaai…as dit nat is gaan Boishaai die voordeel he dink ek ,op n droe veld gaan hulle nie by Gim se tempo kan hou nie
@KatzRugga (Comment #10)
I think 50 points (the most points against House )confirms there was a certain degree of interest and intent. I was a little disappointed in Hilton though on Obs day. Not the day to stumble after an impressive run of form .Hopefully they will pick themselves up for the House game.
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #36)
Hi, dankie vir jou gedagtes wat jy gedeel het. Ek het nooit besef dat Gim so min POC het nie. Hul afrigters moet besonders goed wees, miskien kan WP na hulle kyk om vir WP af te rig.
@Smallies (Comment #57)
Smallies,Ek het nie bedoel om jou stelling bevraagteken nie, dit maar bloot gebruik as’n vertrekpunt vir my stelling.
@Pypkan (Comment #58)
5 punte verskil voel beslis reg…dit mag selfs nader as dit wees op 2 Aug.
@Jan Kriel (Comment #55)
‘n Telling van 44 – 39 in Gim se guns is dalk ‘n baie getroue weergawe van hoe die twee spanne op hierdie stadium van die seisoen teen mekaar opweeg.
@Jan Kriel (Comment #55)
Ek onderskat hulle glad nie ,wat ek se is dat hierdie weergawe van Gim die beste een is wat ek nog gesien het
@Kantman (Comment #54)
Fair enough. Ek het maar net probeer uitwys dat ek nie saamstem met die laaste sin van jou comment 41 hieronder nie. Barker is in die steek gelaat lank voordat dit by die AW spankeuses gekom het…
@Smallies (Comment #26)
Ons moet nie vir HJS mis kyk nie, hulle is baie stil, maar indien jy na die wedstryde kyk, van spanne teen wie beide al gespeel het, is HJS se gemiddelde telling 39-14 en Gim s’n 44-14.HJS is baie gevaarliker as wat hulle krediet voor kry.
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #51)
Ek dink dit is kombinasie van afrigters/keurders van die drie skole wat hulle eie spelers verkies het. Het nie net op PRG gefokus nie. Nie lus om dieper hierop in te gaan nie.
@Kantman (Comment #49)
Net my beskeie mening…was spanne suiwer op meriete gekies was Barker verseker in (ongeag die PRG keurders/afrigters) en het Gim groter verteenwoordiging gehad. Jy is egter welkom om van my te verskil…
@Grasshopper (Comment #50)
A very good year indeed. It seems Westville sport in general is on the up? They are certainly doing something right.
@Kantman (Comment #49)
Volgens die syfers kan ek net tot een gevolgtrekking kom. Rondebosch het te veel agterspelers in die groep terwyl Boishaai se 9 agterspelers ook baie voel. Daarteenoor is die 2 van Gim duidelik te min. Ek is seker maar stadig want wat ek nie verstaan nie is hoekom jy sê dis die PRG keurders/afrigters se skuld?
WESTVILLE UNBEATEN
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #47)
Neem in ag die volgende agterspeler verteenwoordiging:
9 HJS
6 Rondebosch
4 Wynberg
4 PRG
3 Boland Landbou
2 Paarl Gim
1 Stellenberg
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #47)
Kom ons sê jy is reg, hy moes XV wees.
Dan skuif XV senter af en Academy senter uit.
Same difference?
@Kantman (Comment #45)
Ek probeer dus eintlik maar net sê daar is nog 2 ander spanne ook waarop Barker uitgemis het…en dit was beslis nie vanweë ‘n PRG speler of hul keurders/afrigters nie. Die hele sisteem het hom in die steek gelaat…
@Kantman (Comment #45)
Ek weet…maar na my mening verdien Barker minstens ‘n plek in die WP XV tal. So ek stem nie heeltemal saam met jou opmerking hieronder dat ‘n PRG speler hom sy plek gekos het nie…want daar is nie een PRG agterspeler in die XV of CW span nie. Behalwe as jy van mening is dat hy net goed genoeg is vir die AW?
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #43)
Barker is in geen span nie
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #43)
Ja, ons het almal ons voorkeure en ek sou sekere spelers gekies het wat nie in is nie. Spanne is nou gekies en spelers moet ondersteun word.
Maar ek stem saam met Buthelezi2, Wineland supporters should not expect to have proportional players based on there results. Die proewe wat ek gesien het was swak tov beplanning en uitvoering – onkant nooit geblaas nie, bal wat min beweeg verby 12’s.
My opinie is dat verdediging gebreke van sekere spelers nie in ag geneem is in keuses nie.
Baie moeilik om sin te maak uit sommige agterlyn keuses, wat my laat glo verskeie spelers is vooraf eintlik gekies en dan deur keurders geplaas in spanne. Wat beteken dat keurders groter geloof in skoolwedstryd prestasie moes plaas, en seker videos vir mekaar wys om mekaar te oortuig.
By die voorspelers was keuses beter, sou graag meer krag teen krag agttalle wou sien want sommige voorrye het swaar gekry
Om weke aaneen proewe te speel en dan kies jy maar net wie lankal identifiseer is, is ‘n mors van tyd. Maklik om deesdae op grond van Supersport schools jou 10-12 spelers per posisie te rank, krag teen krag te beplan, en een ordentlike proewe te hou.
@Kantman (Comment #41)
Ek weet absoluut niks van wat by proewe gebeur het nie en jy het duidelik insae maar ek sou dink Barker verdien veel beter as om vir die AW span te speel?
@Kantman (Comment #41)
I agree with what you’re saying. How wp run their entire youth week setup is a joke. They’re saved by the fact they have 10 top schools to choose from which is the only reason they win every year. My arguments were countering those people saying that the winelands schools are highly ranked so they should automatically have way more players than schools like Wynberg or Rondebosch who have some top quality players. The fact that Durbanville are a top 20 side and don’t have a single player out of 70 odd is unbelievable and scary at the same time.
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #39)
Winelands schools have plenty selector presentation. Not all on same level, as is true for SS schools. But please, trials were a farce – plenty shoe-in players showed up knowing they were ‘in’. Performance at trials was not at CW level and WP should hope they’ll kick up a level.
Two EPD POC players from Gim were ignored before final trials. Durbanville players not even recognised.
Not blaming or naming the players, they were selected and will represent, did not pick themselves and I back them to perform.
The Paarl Gim 12 and 15 did not lose out because of POC, they lost out to PRG and HJS players that were preferred by PRG and HJS selectors/coaches.
@Smallies (Comment #37)
Verbaas my glad nie. Jare terug het die seuns CW nodig gehad om junior provinsiale kontrakte te kry maar deesdae word sommige seuns al op O/16 vlak geteken en dan met WK en NS kry die scouts elk geval n idee van hoe die seuns lyk. As ek dit die mis het nie is 5 PRG seuns alreeds geteken. CW beteken ongelukkig nie meer so baie soos dit beteken het in die verlede nie.
@Smallies (Comment #38)
You seem to have misunderstood me. I’m saying the average first team player that DOESNT make any wp team in the SS schools would, on average, be on the same level as a third team player at the winelands schools. Unfortunately for schools like Gim, trials and selection processes are all about individuals rather than teamwork, and the individuals at these smaller schools shine brighter when put on an even playing field. That said I would still pick Barker and Whitehead in the XV team.
@Buthelezi2 (Comment #35)
Well if those kids are not 1st team level players ,what are they doing in a CW side …..CW is supposed to be the best every province has to offer….but then I guess it’s more important to keep the man happy
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #36)
Ek het eendag n hele paar jaar gelede met n BAIE BAIE prominente skole afrigter van n paar jaar gelede gesels ,hy het toe reeds aan my genoem dat CW baie laag op provinsiale scouts se radar is…gewoonlik het hulle al reeds by Wildeklawer hulle shoppinglysie klaar geskryf…
@Wonder (Comment #30)
Hi Wonder. Ek is nie so na aan die proses nie so moeilik om daai een te beantwoord. Wat ek weet is dat Gim geen ( of soms 1) POC spelers het nie so automaties raak hul seuns se kanse minder. Wat ek ook weet is dat hulle ontsettend goed afgerig is en ‘n resep het wat werk. Dalk ( en ek kan net spekuleer) is die “ sum of the whole stronger than its individual parts ? ). Gim is ongetwyfeld die top span die jaar en hulle kan dalk ook baat vind uit hul teleurstelling want hul spelers gaan vars wees sonder die verdere fisiese blootstelling van die Craven en Akademie week. Ek moet afsluit om eerlik te sê die WP skole opset is vreemd op Cravenweek vlak en die goeie Gim seuns sal sonder die Cravenweek lank reeds in die oog van die verskeie unies wees. Ek glo dat die Unies nie beinvloed sal word deur Craven week insluiting of nie , nie.
Everyone is conveniently avoiding a couple of issues regarding CW teams. Firstly Winelands schools have plenty of selectors in the various teams. Secondly, 90% of players picked from outside the winelands are POC. Lastly and most importantly, rugby is a team sport. If you took the provincial level players out of the SS teams, HJS/PRG/Gim 3rd XV would have a fairly even match against them. That’s the level of the average player at these schools and it’s only through their excellent individuals that they can occasionally rise to the level of the winelands rugby academies.
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #20)
Nie regtig nie!
Garsies was 43-27 voor met 5m oor en Transvalia het 2 rolmaaldrieë gedruk in daai 5m. Garsies het wedstryd geëindig op Transvalia se doellyn.
Transvalia het bykans al hul drieë met rolmale gedruk en het ‘n goeie afgerigte pak voorspelers.
Maar daar was nie regtig twyfel oor wie sou wen nie.
Die vakansie kan nie gou genoeg kom nie.
@Smallies (Comment #32)
Stem heelhartig saam met jou…my comment was meer tong in die kies as enige iets anders.
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #31)
Die Wynland skole kort regtig n span van hulle eie…en ek se dit nie om nou gat te krap nie….
@Wonder (Comment #30)
Ek vermoed die WP keurders was so moeg vir al die gekla oor die baie Wynlande seuns in die WP CW span dat hulle toe maar besluit het om iets daaraan te doen
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #29)
Jy is een van die manne wat nooit nonsens praat op die blog nie, ek het baie respek daarvoor. Intersant dat jy nog niks gepost het oor die WP Cravenweek span nie, ek sal graag jou opinie wou hoor oor die min spelers van Gim in die A span.
@Smallies (Comment #26)
Dit is verseker ‘n ongelooflike goeie span en uitsonderlik goed afgerig.
@Grizzly (Comment #24)
Die blaaskans gaan hulle beslis goed doen, bygesê, ek het die wedstryd geniet. Die seuns het BMT en mens moet vir Transvalia krediet gee, hulle het ‘n goeie span en was honger vir ‘n wen.
@Pypkan (Comment #25)
629 punte vir die seisoen sover is ongelooflik…moet naby aan ‘n rekord vir ‘n seisoen op die vlak wees?
@Pypkan (Comment #25)
Soos baie mense se van Grey 2019 se ek ,hierdie is die beste Gim span wat ek nog gesien het…
@Smallies (Comment #21)
Gim’s average score after 12 games: 52 – 13
@Maroon machine supporter (Comment #20)
As ek Jong Matie was kon ek vir jou presies gese het hoekom scores die laaste 3 weke so gelyk het. Die vakansie kan nie gou genoeg kom nie. Die Bere sal beter wees na vakansie.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #17)
My bedoeling is glad nie om nie aan Wynberg krediet te gee nie! Ek het vroeër die week al geskryf hoe goed hulle is – ek dink hulle jong losskakel, veral, is puik. Maar dit was ‘n riller van ‘n performance van PRG. Ek dink nie ons het een strafskop wat ons gewen het uitgeskop nie – klomp sulke tipe foute gemaak wat niks te doen het met onder hoeveel druk jy is nie. Dit was net baie swak execution. Wynberg het kanse gehad om daai game te wen en PRG het weer baie gutsy aan die einde verdedig, maar as ons ‘n performance soos vandag in Bloem opsit in Augustus, gaan hulle 30 op ons sit. Die breek kom op ‘n goeie tyd vir ons – die Masjien kort ‘n ernstige diens.
Well done to Westville on a comprehensive win vs House and an unbeaten season. Two close shaves against Northwood and MBC but got the wins and then took out DHS en route to some big wins to finish off. Pity the Jeppe game didn’t happen, I think it would have been great. I know Siyaya signed already to Sharks but hope a few more.
Also College I see getting one over Hilton on their OBD. Great effort. This KZN season has certainly been hotly contested
82-7 point made…Gim is the best school with the BEST players in the country this year ….no matter what political dictates dictate…
GARSIES VS VALIA
@OUD ANKER (Comment #17)
Ek glo nie Wynberg het hulself as die swakker span/underdog voor vandag se game beskou nie. Hulle het darem dubbel soveel spelers as PRG in die WP CW span en verder het hulle ook naelskraap teen Boishaai verloor…saam met die tuisveld voordeel maak dit hulle ‘n baie gedugte teenstaander.
@Sisyphus1866 (Comment #15)
Ek stem nie saam jou nie…Affies het PRG die spreekwoordelike “ball LAAT drop”, nie andersom nie, PRG was eenvoudig nie goed genoeg teen Affies nie en die telbord wys dit…
@Snelvuur (Comment #13)
Gee krediet aan die teenstander my tjom..ek het ‘n kleintjie dood daaraan as ‘n gunsteling net net teen die swakker span/underdog wen dan het die gunsteling kwansuis “‘n baie swak” game gehad….nee, die teenstander het jou geskud, aanvaar dit.
@Boereworsgordyn (Comment #14)
That is what the rankings predict in any case. And you will have a well rested team compared to 18 players that will be exhausted. So yes, you should win.
@Snelvuur (Comment #13)
Dankie. Wynberg is ‘n baie “hostile” plek om te speel. Boishaai is ook daar getoets.Vir PRG was dit waarskynlik “net nog ‘n wedstryd”. vir Wynberg was dit waarskynlik ‘n “all or nothing” scenario. Ek meen, Wynberg het teen Stellenberg verloor!
‘n Wen is ‘n wen…soos hul sê great sides win ugly.
My persoonlike opinie is dat Paul Roos die spreekwoordelike “ball gedrop” het teen Affies. Dis nie ‘n game wat hul moes verloor het nie. Paarl Gim en Boishaai aan die ander kant, is ‘n ander storie…Paarl Gim en Boishaai het besonderse spanne die jaar.
Terloops, die WP Cravenweek spanne is seker die grap van die jaar..Paarl Gim net 2 spelers en Wynberg en Rondebosch 9 tussen die twee van hulle!? Absurd!
TOP 5 VS REST
Gim: 8
SACS: 5
Does this suggest Gim are just an average side who are coached well.🤔😉
We will get better clarity on 3 Aug when they play against a team with 18 players in WP A-C..
@Sisyphus1866 (Comment #12)
PRG 21-17 gewen. Seker die swakste performance van die jaar (ons was 0-14 agter), maar die ouens het baie guys gewys om dit op die ou end deur te trek.
ANY NEWS ON PAUL ROOS VS WYNBERG?
Selborne 42-0 Cambridge
@star (Comment #9)
Youve said everything I didnt and clearly knows the KZN scene.
All the best to Your team of choice
@KatzRugga (Comment #8)
) for well over a decade. The challenge is therefore on to make history and therefore I don’t think there will be any disinterest. You seem to imply that most of the CW players are recruits and are more concerned with CW. I hope that is not the case and loyalty to school is the main focus.
You must remember that history is definitely against WV as they have not won against House in the midlands(and nothing to do with the notorious refs
@Palma (Comment #5)
KZN has been very competitive this year. I feel that a win would mean more for the House boys and staff vs. Wille. A win from house can somewhat salvage their average season. Wille didnt impress me last weekend and perhaps some of their recruits would choose to hold back with Craven week in mind. Lets see
@Smallies (Comment #6)
Ek voel vir SACS. Gim se manne gaan hard kom.
@Trots HJS (Tandem) (Comment #4)
@Snelvuur (Comment #1)
Gaan interesting wees nou dat die WP spanne uitgekom het ,n paar wynlanders wat n punt gaan wil maak…
@KatzRugga (Comment #3)
You’re predicting House to pull one over Westville? The kzn scene is so competitive it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility.
@Snelvuur (Comment #1)
Hi Snelvuur , although Paul Roos should be strong enough I think you will have to be on top of your game against Wynberg. They are really a very good team and they are extremely well coached. If you control the possession then you will be fine but if Wynberg gets enough ball they will be a hand full.
KZN & EC PREDICTIONS
Which teams has the grid this late in the season? Bodies must be tired and there is bound to be injury concerns for all teams this time of year.
Westwille has had a somewhat soft schedule and will only total 13 games this season, perhaps a blessing in disguise for the Griffins.

While I hope you are right, I think it’s going to be a tough day for all the Southern Suburbs teams.
Wynberg might be a tough nut to crack for PRG on Saturday. We’ll need to be at our very best across the board. Season’s starting to get long and taking a toll – behind Pheiffer, e.g., we’re down to our fourth/fifth choice flyhalf. The break probably comes at a great time for all of the schools.
I was impressed with Wynberg against Rondebosch. Their two Namibian players (Orange and Karuhumba) are top players. And Noble and Behardien are great as halfbacks, especially with Ahmed right outside them.
Excited for the weekend!
