Hoërskool Nico Malan and Queen’s College are set to square off in what promises to be a standout Day 1 main fixture at the Graeme Easter Rugby Festival in Makhanda on Friday, 20 March 2026.
The clash serves as a swift correction to an omission from the 2025 calendar, when both sides enjoyed outstanding seasons but never had the opportunity to meet on the field. This long-awaited encounter now adds extra intrigue, with two of last year’s top performers in the Eastern Province finally going head-to-head.
