Wynberg, under the guidance of old boy Justin van Winkel, pounded Rondebosch into a very surprising submission with six unanswered tries for a commanding 43–0 triumph on a mud-soaked Hawthornden Field. Completing the double over their closest Southern Suburbs rivals silenced any lingering debate about who holds the crown as the top 1st XV in the region this year.
This emphatic result marks Berg’s most dominant performance against Bosch since their 59–21 rout in 2014 — the same year they last scaled the heights with a grand slam. Now on course to be just one draw outside repeating that rare feat, the 2025 outfit will savour this campaign, which stands as a credit and a fitting bounce back for the coaching staff of this well-run rugby programme after the frustrations of 2024.
