Boishaai has lost in the final of the annual Sanix World Rugby Youth Tournament in Japan. They have won their five matches in a row, averaging a score of 53 points per game in the process. Their opponents in the final Hamilton Boys’ High of New Zealand has averaged 43 points per game on their road to the final. Apart from the finalists, most teams in this tournament would struggle to win a game against a lower tier 1st XV at the Tony Stoops or Oakdale Rugby Festivals because they are so weak. Sanix is a great concept and a tour of Japan will be a once in a lifetime unforgetable experience for most players but as far as high quality opposition is concerned, this 2014 tournament is fooling no one.

@BoishaaiPa: Ek het so feeling een van die 2 gaan hard val teen HJS…….indien nie beide……..ek kry so elke 3 jaar sulke wonderlike gevoele.
@Andre T: Kom ons kyk maar eers of Grey en Gim verby Boishaai kan kom..dan kan ons aanames maak!
@Andre T: En Menlopark ook
@vatikaki: In daai geval kan selfs Grey Bloem ook. 8)
Hard lines Boishaai. Great experience for the boys I’m sure. Safe travels.
Great effort Boishaai. You did yourselves proud ! Safe travels back.
Well done Boishaai and hard luck!
die sanix kompetisie se deelname is gebruik om die span te verenig en om sean kans te gee om sy spelers te leer ken. tydens WK speel die manne vir mekaar maar ook vir kontrakte. ek dink dit was n goeie besluit maar stem saam dat die ander spanne nie op standaard is nie. n mens wonder tog of n oorsese toer, finansieel, sin maak ?
Hard luck Boishaai! You guys can be proud of what you have achieved.
Bad luck Boishaai but nevertheless: well done !!
Well done Boishaai!!!!
@Vleis:
Gimmies could take them.
Hard luck Paarl. You can be very proud of your performances and so can your school and your country!
By the way, Hamilton Boys has 2,300 pupils
. That is nearly triple the size of HJS Paarl. If HJS Paarl, Gimmies and Landbou put a team together (which is still much smaller than Hamilton 
) they would annihilate the kiwi team!
@BoishaaiPa: Volgens vriende in NZ word verwag dat hulle hierdie jaar nommer 1 sal wees.
@Andre T: Hier is artikel oor hulle wen verlede jaar. Kan egter soos met ons skole ook nou vanjaar n hele ander span wees, maar lyk darem of hulle redelik goeie teenstand is.
http://schoolstribune.com/hamilton-boys-high-ends-st-kentigerns-reign-p1057-1.htm
Okay I just had a quick look.
They won the “National First XV Championship” last year. Meaning the best rugby school in NZ in 2013.
@BoishaaiPa:
As ek reg onthou was hulle in die Top-4 laas jaar. Kan nie onthou waar in die Top-4 nie.
@Andre T: Hulle is tradisioneel altyd so in die Top 10 saam met skole soos Auckland Grammer, Wesley College, Kelston Boys High, Gisborne Boys High en Christchurch Boys High. Weet egter nie waar hulle vanjaar gerank word nie.
@BoishaaiPa: Damn…..bad luck.
Waar le Hamilton in die Kiwi ranglyste?
Boishaai lost 15-11 in die final. Bad luck boys, we know you gave it your all!
Well done, you make us proud here in SA.
well done Boishaai trust u’ll go all the way……good luck!!
Go Boishaai! Do SA proud!
Awesome, Boishaai!
@BoishaaiPa: Great stuff – well done Boishaai !!
Boishaai won their semi against Lycee from France 33-5. Playing in the final tomorrow against Hamilton Boys from NZ.
@Woltrui: By mentioning overaged players you have woken sleeping dogs….
@Woltrui: Hahahahahaha
@Woltrui: haha, half the Jap sides are university level and much older.
I knew that would evoke a response, stirring kak again! :-)
star, not sure and don’t really care. Our surfers are those who want to compete, the majority of the hard core guys hate comps so never compete. It’s true for most schools, so it’s about getting the best prepared to surf comps.
@Woltrui: Wa ha ha
@Grasshopper: Jissis Hopper. You’s want to embarrass SA rugby. What would Sanix say if they know over aged players played in their tournament. Let’s not wake sleeping dogs Boet
Grassy – Don’t take it so personally mate, I see another hardly known school won it back in 2001 and I didn’t know about it then either.
@Grassy- you are far too sensitive.
By the way I see that Westville won the first Interschools Surfing contest.DHS were second and Clifton third. Did GW not enter a team as you always go on about their surfing prowess? 
I remember when Glenwood won it everyone on 365 dismissed it as a kak tourno and not worth anything, funny how that changes when a more well known rugga school goes along..
great win Boishaai, keep the momentum going and go all the way.
Netjies manne!!
Hou ons op hoogte met die goeie nuus.
Tot Augustus staan ons sterk agter julle.
@BHP: 66-0, Wow! Great! Wie is volgende?
@BoishaaiPa:
True…although the HJS supporters that I was watching the game with made it very clear to me that there is only one Boishaai, when I pointed this out to them!
@Vleis: The only way you would pick up which team they support is when the Swartland farmers starts shouting…the accent will give it away!…lol
Well done Boishaai. Brilliant!!!!
@BoishaaiPa: Congrats to Boishaai!
On a different note, I had a chuckle when watching the HJS Paarl v PBHS game at St John’s a few weeks ago, as everyone was shouting for Boyshigh/Boishaai.
@BoishaaiPa: Nice! Love thrashing the Aussies :-) Good luck for the next game!
Boishaai won 66-0 against the Aussie school St Edmunds in the quarters.
They came back on Monday,21 April from St John`s where the played 3 games. Quite a schedule. I have it on good authority that the injuries are minor- the guys who were rested all played for a short go today, except Stefan. Not sure about him and Paul De Wet
@rbw1863: There are 30 Boys over there if I am not mistaken, so a full 2 teams.
That is an unbelievable schedule!?! 6 games in 7 days against some of the best rugby schools in the world? @BooishaaiPa Any idea on the size of the squad allowed?
Well done manne, hou kop, sal moeiliker gaan van nou af. Hou voete plat op aarde en looi die Aussies
Great stuff Boishaai! Now clobber the Aussies. Tx for the updates BHP.
Boishaai won 101-0 this morning against the weakest team in the pool putting them top of pool C. They will be playing against St Edmunds College of Aus in the quarters who was ranked 2nd in their pool B.
Quite a few of the regular players for Boishaai have not yet played – Klaas du Toit, Carel van Zyl and Stefan Gouws as well as Quintin Vorster come to mind. All of them were in the starting team for every St John`s game. Does someone know why not? More injuries than Paul De Wet`s thumb?
@BoishaaiPa: sal doen
@bhkgpa: Stuur maar groete daar vir hom.
@BoishaaiPa: ja die man is nog plat op sy rug. Het n veloorplanting gedoen en volgens hom dink hy dat hy nog 10 dae of meer in hospitaal sal wees
@bhkgpa: Is Bertie nog in die hospitaal na die ongeluk?
@BoishaaiPa: het gisteraand by Bertie de Wet gehoor dat sy seun, Paul de Wet nr 9, sy duim gebreek het in Dinsdag se wedstryd. is dalk uit vir n langperiode maar hy weet nie of hulle hom moet opereer nie
@Djou: Ons hoor maar so stuk stuk nuus. Die eerste game se span was blykbaar nie klein outjies nie en baie was Suidsee-eiland manne. Die manne het so paar niggles opgetel, maar niks darem te ersntig nie. More se game is blykbaar teen die Koreaanse span wat nie te sterk is nie, so hopelik kan al die reserwes speelkans kry. Daarna is dit kwarteinstryde en semi’s as ons dit deurmaak.
@BoishaaiPa: Baie geluk en sterkte aan die manne as jy ‘n boodskap kan deurgee aan hulle. Enige terugvoer oor die verloop van die wedstryde?
@BoishaaiPa: Two different types of players. Ruben is much more athletic but Jaco is a beast !! The two of them should IMO be the lock combination for WP at Craven Week
@Grasshopper: We’ve got Ruben De Villiers at lock…only still in Gr 11 …Athletic and big…Watch this space!
Good luck Boishaai, do us proud! What would have been awesome is a Winelands combined team going over, just imagine that team. Release that Jaco Willemse from Gim onto those Kiwi’s….
Sterkte Bloues! Hoop die mannetjies kan die trofee huis toe bring. Gaan nie maklik wees. Hoor die NZ spanne is omtrent profesioneel.
Boishaai wins second game 24-13 vs Chikushi
well done Boishaai, all of the best with todays game!
