@ Buffel: fair comment, havent seen him play the past 2 years so cant reply but I hear what you say. This is normally what happens if you hace 3-4 talented players in a specific #, there are only place for 2 or 3 depending on the selection and game plan of the CW selectors/coaches.
Im positive he will come through next year and claim his spot.
As Maroon mentioned a groot verlies for PRG – it opened the door for somebody else to Step Up to the spot.
@Buffel: There is only one key match-up and that is at 9 and 10. CW vs Academy. Seen both combinations play this year, too tight to call. For me MHS by 10.
@RBugger: Tedder against College was very ordinary. I have watched him play since a kid. Pound for pound he is the best defensive flyhalf in KZN. Bader from MHS IMHO is the best overall flyhalf in the province. Hall/Tedder weren’t very good against a more powerful College pack. What worries me is that the same is going to happen when they play the bigger more physical unions, Hall is going to be under extreme pressure therefore so is Tedder. I hope i’m wrong.
@boishigh13: He has another year but to be honest, not yet up to the standard of T.Tedder and Jonas of Glenwood.
I know we have been told to watch out for MHS in 10 days time but to be honest cannot wait for the fixture.
There are going to be some key match-ups that will determine the outcome and bragging rights to the winner.
@boishigh13: Hy was graad 8 en 9 in Paul Roos en het A span losskakel gespeel en was kaptein van die onderskeie spanne. Groot verlies vir PRG en aanwins vir KZN.
@ Deon P: yes Lochnerhof in Strand, he played with my eldest son in primary school.
As Buitebreek said he played centre in primary school CW and was flyhalf as u13 player for Lochnerhof.
Agree with Beet, he would have made an impact in WC selection of CW
@tzavosky: Die keps dui blykbaar aan dat jy ‘n skolerugbykenner en -voorspeller van formaat is, maar ek hoor ook dat daar besware is teen die harlekynpakkie wat Beet vir my aangetrek het, toe gee hy maar vir my ‘n keps.
Maar ek moes hom R1000 onder deur die tafel gee…
Kom kuier lierwers dat ek daai nael uittrek, ek kort R1000.
Maar hoe meer ek skolerugby volg, hoe minder verstaan ek. Hierdie useless oesjaar van ons, wat nie eers vir Helpmekaar of Pietersburg kan wen nie, het 13 spelers in die Limpopo span en hulle het verlede week die Valke in ‘n oefenwedstryd geklop. Jy weet, daai streek met skole soos EG, Kempton en Transvalia.
Vandag sou hulle teen die Pumas gespeel het, maar die wedstryde is gekanselleer weens eksamens. Nee, ek maak nie ‘n grap nie. Dink jy die Pumas is bang?
@BuiteBreek: Hulle sou baie welkom wees 20 km in die pad op.
@beet: would’ve been interesting to see what the coaches choices would have been, had he been in the mix along with fortuin & cupido.im sure next year he’ll make a huge impact at CW.
@Deon Pitzer: Ja, dis net hy. Sy senter maat op CW in 2010 was Taigh Schoor gewees. Hulle was witwarm.
@phat55: I think his age counted against him in the end. Had he been u18, I think the selectors would have made adjustments to accommodate him in the CW but being u17, I guess they felt he’ll have another shot next year.
It will be interesting to compare him to this year’s WP CW flyhalves as I’m sure he would have played PRG 1st this year and stood a good chance of being selected.
@Ploegskaar: We will hopefully have removed some of the tracks before the train gets too near
@boishigh13: Lochnerhof? Soos in Lochnerhof in die Strand?
@phat55: @boishigh13: I’ve watched Bader since last year, where he was to top scorer at GK. He is elusive with ball in hand and a strong runner. I agree with beet that he is very strong on his feet and his ball retention is great. Possibly a good 12 and unlucky to not make CW this year. Hopefully 2015 will be his year.
Have to agree on Bader, damn fine player and super strong on his feet and great kicker of the ball – watched him growing up while playing u12 and u13 at Lochnerhof where his abilities with the ball was already evident.
Jammer die HJS u14 groep speel nie teen Glenwood nie – sal int wedstryd wees.
Monument en Affies het self ‘n uitstekende u14 groep spelers! Het die 2 spanne teen HJS se u14 groep op George sien speel, klip harde wedstryde.
Goeie wegstryde le voor teen Paul Roos en SACS in al die ouderdoms groepe
@beet: Bader is damn strong & being a top notch wrestler definitely helps!! Surprised he never made the CW team especially after you also felt he was the standout player at the trials.
@tzavosky: Lol……..ja swaer……
My toonnael begin ook weer so geelerig raak…………moet ek hom met n tang uitruk of weer van daai salf smeer wat jy my laas gegee het?
Ek sien jy dra nou n keps………is jy nou n sjirurg?
@Speartackle: Spear, ek het daai ghym teen SWD gesien toe hulle 97-0 gewen het, nie ‘n mooi gesig nie.
Hoofopskrif op Die Burger se sportblad daai dag, “SWD gaan Leeus skrikmaak”.
Ja, swaer!
@RBugger: I still have Mighty Mouse McClouglin’s jock strap as a souvenir after a Potch game ( think it was against the Combined Universities). Never washed it with yellowish stains and all.
@RBugger: I was in my early twenties when the 74 Lions toured here. They were tough but no one came near Johnson.
@beet: At least you know the size of the train that will hit you then, can’t do much about it though and bracing is not going to do much good either
@Bog: I was not even born yet, but have obviously heard stories about the 74 side – from what I have been told, they were unbeatable..?
@RBugger: Compared to the 1974 Lions, he would not have made the Wednesday side. The first choice locks were Willie John Mc Bride and Gordon Brown.
@Speartackle: Martin Johnson, now that was a tight forward of note!
@Speartackle: As far as the size of hands go, no one could beat Uttley. He captained the Wednesday side a few times. I watched them play Boland in Wellington and the rugby ball looked like a tennis ball in his hand
@BOG: Because he was very fond of arm wrestling after a few toots and couldn’t even move me. In those days I had those typically skinny South Eastern Free State forearms but he didn’t know I could go off that foefie slide with only my finger tips.
@Speartackle: Then obviously he fired you. Why would you otherwise omit his name? And you say that you never visited the establishment of Geoff Butterfield ( 1956 Lions centre )- the London Rugby Club, incidentally, a pub/ restaurant? We may even have been on the same plane back to SA.
@BOG: I used to work for his company Cotton Traders in the UK until 87.
@Speartackle: Nothing wrong with Fran Cotton and Roger Uttley. Ask the 1974 Springboks.
@RBugger: The only english forwards I’ve ever rated were Teichman and Martin Johnson……..maybe Dallaglio as well.
@Beet: He certainly is a great fetcher of the ball, no doubt about that. And due to his athletic abilities, if he concentrates just on the rucks and turnovers, he will be very very effective for KZN (talking about Jaco here of course)
Will take your word on Bader, have not ever seen him play – if that is a strength of his, fantastic – maybe get him into the 12 channel next year?
@Speartackle: Again, I have not seen Palvie much, but will take your word for it – if a Vrede man gives an English Forward praise, then I will have him in my team
@RBugger: Play Palvie at 8. He was awesome vs Waterkloof
@RBugger: This might sound a bit strange but from watching KZN games, the player who I think could thrive at openside flank as the get low and tuck your shoulders, while getting hands the tackled ball type, mainly because I’ve seen him do it and he is as strong as an ox on his feet is Michaelhouse flyhalf Bader Pretorius.
What makes Jaco so good at it is his timing. He has such a nature feel for knowing exactly when to go in and claim the ball. I think after school whoever acquires his services (hopefully the Sharks) should consider developing him into a Ritchie McCaw style player.
@Ploegskaar: Two tapes vs virtually the whole of the Premier Inter-schools series
@Pedantic: Of course not all doom and gloom, I am just pointing out certain factors that I feel are important – the tight five to me, should concentrate on the impact zones, especially rucks and counter rucks, so not try and be too flamboyant, hard running lines off 10 and 12.
In terms of Tedder vee Jonas, at this point in time, you can’t really compare the two – and I do not care how much flack I receive for that comment, Tedder at this stage of rugby, reads the game far better.
Jonas seems to be an out and out runner with the ball in hand, as where Tedder has a far better all round game. His tactical kicking and most importantly, decision making, show a player who knows the game.
KZN will have to play in the right areas of the field – one thing we do know about a big tight five, if you keep turning them around and making them chase all game, they will get tired at some point.
Get the boys fit and work on a game plan, ie – play in the opponents half and work on the defensive line – and play Jaco at 6!
@RBugger: I think you guys are forgetting that the CW 22 are a squad. Theoretically the KZN tight 5 could be made up of 0 GW tight 5 players: Chidoma, Roberts, Thomas, Dixon, Ndlovu – I doubt that would happen but just showing the possibilities.
Chidoma, Thomas & Dixon can certainly add some physicality to the GW tight 5 if that’s where the concern is.
Another factor to remember is that Hall / Tedder have been excellent behind a weaker pack this year – they will also add a different dimension as I don’t think Kwazi and Jonas are used to going backwards too often.
Add in the overnight bus trip to Monnas which would have jaded the GW players.
Not all doom and gloom – I’m not sure KZN have the players to match the big guns physically but I’m sure there will be a plan in place, have to stay positive
@beet: Ja-nee, footage of Framesby/GW at KERF and Monnas/GW from the weekend will be a great source of info indeed.
@Beet: I agree with your comments in terms of ball on the deck, but it will not be easy. When your tight five are getting smashed in every facet of play, especially the rucks, it puts added pressure on the loosies – they get tired due to the extra workload needed.
From Saturdays game, it is clear to me that Mcmillan and the other flank are big ball runners, not fetchers – Jaco had two turnovers, if I am not mistaken.
To me, I would play Jaco at 6 and and make him play directly towards the ball at all times, the only problem then being – who plays 8?
I would also have Visser at Loose-Head, he is short and much harder to move backwards come ruck time – the GW boy looks very tall and did not impress me in the ruck and especially scrum time, GW were going backwards.
The locks are going to have to play a Mark Andrews style of play, ie – do not worry to much about ball running and rather concentrate on hitting rucks and hitting them hard
@Matty: What an excellent piece of schools rugby post match comments I’ve read in a long time! Well done and yes also a privilege to play you guys and ditto for the overall behaviour of the Jeppe boys as well. Your u/16’s will most definitely be a side to be reckoned with next year.
@meadows: @McCulleys Workshop: @RBugger:
The Monnas lesson is a good one. Now the KZN coaches have good video footage of where they need to get better ahead of CW. We are not going to be able to match some teams with physicalness or size so we will have to outplay them in other areas of forward play. The obvious three are cohesion, mobility (on attack and D) and contesting ball on the deck – if you win that battle at tackled ball, you can curb the attacking ambitions of even the biggest most aggressive pack. We also need to work extra hard on setpiece stability and ball security.
The bad news is SWD and perhaps even WP have the Monnas video footage as well. They can use this to prepare their assaults. They will see opportunities to prey on weaknesses.
Jeppe must be kicking themselves after Saturday’s clash. Jeppe were leading 11-5 with less than ten minutes on the clock and had Affies under pressure. A failed kick for the line from Jeppe gave Affies possession from which they countered into Jeppe’s half. A relatively easy kick from Affies was left to bounce by the Jeppe wing, and possible SA schools, and the hard-working number 14 of Affies was able to snatch the ball first and score under the poles. Upon the restart Jeppe was able to regain possession and were within 10m of the Affies tryline. It looked like Jeppe was on the path to score when the ref awarded a penalty to Affies. The call took the wind out of Jeppe’s sails and Affies showed their superior rugby experience to score the final try in the structureless few minutes. An excellent game of SBR deservedly won by Affies. As always Affies and their supporters were of the highest standard, well done to them.
Moment of the match: The try by Jeppe to put them in the lead, the atmosphere around the field was absolutely electric.
Player of the match for Affies: The number 14 winger, did not stop for the entire game. Chased Affies tactical kicks well and was rewarded with a try for his hard work.
Player of the match for Jeppe: Number 3, Jeppe dominated Affies in the scrum and in the contact area thanks to the work of this lad. To top it all off he was able to slot a penalty from the half way line!
Villian of the match: The Affies “oom” who stomped his way down the stands to have a chat with the Affies team after Jeppe scored their try.
Ek stem 100% saam.Ons het die wonderlike tradisie en “gentleman attitude” van die suidelike voorstede se skole nodig om WP skole en provinsiale rugby te “elevate”
Dit is altyd n plesier om daar te gaan rugby speel en kyk.
@meadows: @RBugger: I’ve watched GW a number of times and this season and have found their pack marginally better than ordinary, not outstanding. I think for the selectors not to have looked at the sum of the parts is concerning, (I.e. Piecing together players from different schools) both the MHS and Westville props are good scrummages, good in the loose, as are a number of the Westville loose forwards. I haven’t seen all the sides play (DHS/College) but certainly I feel we are at CW again on the back foot.
@Playa23: @boerboel: Die hele HJS groep, vanaf onder 14 tot en met onder 19 is werklik talentvol. Ek is baie bly dat SACS se vooruitsigte soveel beter lyk. Hulle was 10, 20 jaar gelede baie sterk teenstand in sommige jare. SACS is ‘n baie belangrike komponent van Wes Kaap SBR, en is oor bietjie meer as 15 jaar 200 jaar oud. Daar is ‘n artikel oor hulle huidige rugby situasie, hul rugbytrots en hulle vooruitsigte op hulle webblad. As daar een skool is wie se ligging en uitsig ek beny, dan is dit SACS s’n. Vir my die mooiste skoolgronde in SA, en as ek reg onthou, het Alan Paton my sentiment gedeel.
@boerboel: Hierdie Gr8 groep van HJS is in 2018 in Gr12 en sal sekerlik die bulk van 1e span uitmaak, dit is in 2018 HJS se 150ste bestaans jaar. hulle het hierdie jaar goed geinvest in 0/14’s vir ‘n goeie oes in 2018
@Deon Pitzer: Sacs se groot toets sal Boishaai o14 wees.
boishaai se 014 b sal 95% v plasslike 014a,s gemaklik klop
Some big results. I must congratulate Monnas and Kwaggas on two very impressive wins. Looking at the Southern Suburbs teams in Cape Town: it is pleasing to see that Rondebosch have bounced back after a terrible start to the season and although they have lost the last two weeks, they have shown some real guts against two top SA schools. It is disappointing to see Sacs get another hiding, but their junior age groups have done nicely so the future could be brighter. Lastly, the major game from a SS perspective this weekend saw Wynberg go to play a Bishops side riddled with WP players. WBHS determined and probably spurred on by the CW snub, played with courage and ran out deserved winners, A converted try off the last movement of the game made the 20-19 scoreline flatter the hosts, but they did do well to fight back after trailing 20-0 at the break. Well done to all the players concerned.
As an added extra… I saw that the Wynberg number 8 limped off the field on the weekend, any news on the injury would be much appreciated.
@Meadows: Yip, it is a massive concern, Besides one or two moments of excellance from GW, they were easily outmuscled.
The tight five were totally dominated which meant the GW loosies really struggled to get into the game. Coetzee tried his best while he was on the park but jeez, KZN are going to come well short at CW unless something drastic happens – they just do not have the power up front.
On a positive note, the GW wings are both terrific players and looked exciting all game long
@RBugger: My thoughts exactly! GW pack had 6 of the starting CW side and came a distant second against Monnas. It doesn’t bode well for CW.
@Babbelas: Jys reg… Wat my wel gepla het is dat die manne onder die gazebos van vroeg oggend af al getap het… Allerhande rassistiese aanmerkings is geskree… Baie onvanpas by skole rugby… Ons ouers sal obviously reageer, as iemand iets vir jou kind skree kan jy mos nie stil bly nie…
Ek wonder hoe sal daai ouers voel as iemand so op hulle kinders skree en sulke lelike goed vir hulle se? Ek was daar aan die oorkant gewees, en dit was rerig onsmaaklik… Ek het skaam gevoel om wit en afrikaans te wees… Is dit waarheen ons oppad is?
Ek dink julle BL en skool bestuur moet hierdie ding aanspreek. Daai gedrinkery onder die gazebos daar aan die oorkant van die veld is niks nuuts nie en gaan vir julle probleme skep op ‘n stadium. Ek se dit met groot respek. Ek ken julle BL voorsitter toevallig persoonlik van laerskool dae af en so ook julle rugby direkteur. Dis goeie mense… Julle het ook wierdapark en hennopspark se seuns en ouers daar gehad vir bemarking, en as my kind in die laerskool was en ek het na daai ouers gesit en luister, het ek ander wyvelde gaan soek….
Dis maar net my opinie – maar so een vrot appel daar aan die oorkant skep ‘n swak indruk van julle skool… en as die voggies loop steek die ander appels aan… Mens kan mos na die games ‘n ietsie nuttig as die kinders weg is… Eldoraigne is ‘n goeie skool, moenie toelaat dat sulke ellemente julle aftrek nie…
@Rugbyman: Ja, die voggies het geloop maar aan albei kante…….Met die Tuks reeks 0 16 kwarteind by Florida het ‘n Garsie Ma op die veld gestorm en vir ons 2 senters gese sy gaan hulle bliksem. So dit gebeur maar aan albei kante!
Stem saam, dit hoort nie langs die veld nie!
SACS under 14A15, PRG under 14A 12. Great prospects for SACS. Excellent win!
Fantastic win for Wynberg this past weekend, played with amssive amounts of heart.
A few Bishops stars I must say, not sure of the names, but watch their 15 and left wing, SA Schools Hopefulls in my mind. Bishops 8, Saaud, seems very off the ball this year, very quiet on the pitch, does not get involved at all!
Secondly, after watching the GW – MONNAS game, I am now worried about CW. The GW pack got mauled!!!
@bhkgpa: thnx! thought them without their dynamic no.9 would cause major headaches
@Vleis: Vleisie, please read the newspapers. They have to study for exams.
@Woltrui: You are probably correct, but Helpies may have something to say about that after beating Jeppe u16A at Jeppe this year. Also, let’s see how they do against the very powerful Monnas u16A in two weeks.
It will be interesting to see how the Jeppe 1st team performs next year, as the current u16A team is at top 5 level but last year’s u16A was not in the top 50, I think. Could be a Jeppe 1st team full of grade 11’s next year.
Were there many injuries in the Affies u16A team prior to the game on Saturday.
@Woltrui: Was dit Affies se genuine 0/16 A span of het meeste vir die eksamens al begin leer?
Big win for Jeppe’s U/16’s over Affies. Jeppe’s going to rule the JHB roost in 2016-for sure 8)
Ek lees heelwat van die blog, maar is nie so aktief soos sommige van julle nie. Wat ek wel gou agtergekom het is dat jou span so goed kan wees soos hy wil, maar volgende week kan hy weer onverwags verloor.
Waar is Gimmieguts90 vanoggend nadat hy laasweek so windgat was oor sy span???
@phat55: Kwaggas should have won further but made mistakes at vital times when opportunities were to be taken. Gim under pressure at no 9. De Koker was their kingpin and without him the backline look slow and number 10 way off the pace. With him at 10 you need a 9 like De Koker otherwise he will struggle. Zandberg (5), DeNecker(3)and Baard(8) were very good and 6 close behind. Forwards great at the breakdown and line outs. In the backs Duvenhage(12) was very good. lots of injuries during the game and at the end the kwaggas backline was almost all playing in different positions. Kwaggas deserved this win and Paarl Gim need to look at a number 9 to get them going.
Well done to the GREY HIGH 1st XV. I dont believe any other Grey first team has managed to win by such a large margin against St Andrews. Congrats to the coaching staff aswell, who must be commended for their contribution to this history-making performance. What a pleasure to watch boys throw the ball around and play such a scintilating brand of rugby.
St Andrews must also be commended on keeping their game positive in the face of the Grey onslaught and scoring some very good tries early on.
@Van Mann: Rather to romance………….I’ve just been nominated again as a finalist in the West Rand’s Official supplier of Pleasure competition.
@Andre T: And you to hockey.
@Van Mann: Janneman should stick to cricket
Waterkloof 36 – Centurion – 31. Waterkloof scored a try in injury time to take this cliff hanger. Suppose alot of Centurion supporters will blame the ref as there was about 4 minutes injury time allowed and 2 minutes after the hooter has blown. Was a great match with Kloof out of the game until the last 15 minutes. As far as I know all other games was win by Kloof with big margins. Must say the fly half from Centurion was better than Thinus on the day. Thinus is trying to much things on his own which cost Kloof dearly. He did not have a good match, the worst I have seen him playing this year. Michau and JP was brilliant as well as Janneman Malan no 12
Monument forwards were too powerful for Glenwood and were eventually outgunned up front. Maybe Glenwood should have run the backline at them a little more and kept the ball away from the forwards. I think Glenwood’s backline were far superior and should have been used as the primary attack.
College had an easy time against Hilton – a few clumsy handling errors and the scoreline would have been higher. Marcel Coetzee and Goi Le Roux were outstanding.
@Mike: Grey probably haven’t made things any easier for us, I’m sure we’ll be taking on a very annoyed St Andrew’s side next weekend at the Lower, great win for Grey, good to see them get their season back on track
@CHS08: 4 massive games in the third term for Grey including Grey College and Selborne in east London, not one of them are remotely easy. I think in a way the loss to Queens has refocused the boys. They’ve let a couple of games slip after leading and I doubt they will easily make that mistake again.
BooishaaiPa- thanks for explaining that. I was under the wrong impression then regarding the rankings if a team does not play
@QC86: I definetly don’t see that boy as an unsung hero. Morgan is supremely talented!!! Where do Selborne okes get all these kids! @Mike: Grey boys must be weary of these sublime Selborne kids. They are scary.
Well done to Grey Boys who in the end proved too strong against St Andrews,the game was still in the balance at half time,but then Greys speedy backs took over,but Grey still need to work on there defence,they let in too many easy tries.Final Score 67-24
@QC86: Wat soek jy so laat / vroeg op die blog. Jy is seker nie by die huis nie?
@CHS08: everybody raves about Britz the Selborne center but it is Steyn who is the play maker and makes all the space. He is the unsung hero in my book
@BuffelsCM: thanks for that!!
@phat55: See the report on http://www.stoopstats.co.za for a fairly detailed report
Be interested to know how many of the Glenwood 1st XV are KZN boys and how many are imports from the highveld. I get the feeling this game could have been Monument vs their 2nd XV. What love to know the facts on these players, especially the forwards???
I think I’m going to have nightmares for a couple of days. Words cannot describe how brilliant the Selborne 1st team flyhalf is!!!!! That Morgan Steyn kid is EXTREMELY TALENTED!!! Now I can see why he was included in last year’s SA u16 High Performance Squad.
Can someone who was there, give their take on the Gim vs Outeniqua game? Bit surprised by the result to be honest.

@ebie: Organisation formed in 1995 by Naas Botha and Steve Hofmeyer to help promote Northern Transvaal Rugby ‘s image!
@Rugbyman: Daar is seker maar orals mense wat ander mense word as die voggies oorneem.
Ek is baie teleurgesteld in die span vandag. As jy tackles miss lyk die score so. Geen verskonings. Garsies is beter. Hoop net vokgende week kan die manne opstaan. Dis moeilik om hulle te motiveer na so ‘n telling. Maar ons sal.
@Rugbyman: Ek stem saam dat gedrag onaanvaarbaar is. Ek en so 3 ander ouers sit altyd op pawiljoen en rugby kyk. Ons het vandag tussen Garsies mense gesit.
Daar sou ‘n braai na die tyd wees vir alle rugby mense. Ons het nie gebraai nie. Ek dink jy kry my denke
@Anti Green: the score is incorrect. Selborne won.
@kosie: moet eerlik wees kosie, ek was teleurgesteld in sommige van julle toeskouer se opmerkings… daai een perd skree sommer in die o16 game toe ons outjie om julle sin hardloop: “gooi kom met n f****n klip”
Dit was duidelik dat die voggies van vroeg al geloop het en mens kon dit hoor in wat geskree is… een van julle manne het na die tyd vir my kom se hy distansieer hom van die toeskouers aan die oorkant se gedrag…
Hartseer dag wat toeskouer gedrag aanbetref… dis iemand se kind vir wie hulle sulke goed skree…
@Kbypa: Thanks. I watched Helpies last week. They have some big boys up front and G-Man, their loosehead prop who kicks at goal for them
Helpmekaar 35 Noord-Kaap 20
Good day of SBR at Jeppe:
U19a Jeppe 11 – affies 23
U16a Jeppe 33 – affies 28
U15a Jeppe 3 – affies 37
U14a Jeppe 7 – affies 36
The less said about the officiating in the last 10 minutes of the 1st team game the better. I see why affies do not wanna play Garsfontien they would get a beating of note
@Roger: haha, he is a Durban boy through and through, genuine Glenwood Old Boy. He is an interesting fact, he played flyhalf at Under16 level before moving to the flank and then no8 at the Lions. I think it was Sean Erasmus who convinced him to play loose forward…
Dale College 40 Kingswood 23
@Roger: yeah he is quality, provides something different at 8, great tackler, good hands and brilliant at the back of the line out. I really do think he could be a Bok 8 coming on as a super sub after Vermeulen has caused havoc.
@Grasshopper: Whitely is a quality player – was he imported?
@kosie: dankie kosie!
Grens 80 Stirling 3
@Roger: this years Monnas side is far better than 2013, but you right you have to believe you can win…
@Andre T: Jeppe u16 a. 33- affies u 16a 28 what a win by the boys fantastic game of SBR …. Monnas next. On the 14 June shkukd be another cracker
@kosie: @Grasshopper: Monnas definitely favourites – they were last year too …. and the year before ….. Game three months away – let’s talk then. Next week Boys High awaits after convincing results today
Morne Joubert the fullback didn’t get much chance to show his class and Jaco Coetzee the No8 seemed to be carrying an injury….these two are X factor players….
HTS Daniel Pienaar beat HS Pearson 32-8. Score could have been bigger DP made a lot of mistakes close to the try line.
@Roger: yeah, but unless KES produce a miracle they will battle with the Monnas physicality. Their props were scrumming illegally though….quite a bit of off the ball stuff too…
@Roger: We have played Monnas once this year and Garsues twice. Lost all 3 games. KES will struggle against Monnas. I have watched KES at the KES festival.
@Grasshopper: games only in Aug so let’s wait and see
@Grasshopper: They have played Wsterkloof and won 44 – 19. Monnas is in the Lions region. If both team goes through in the Beeld, they might meet.
@Roger: not sure hey, if it’s at KES maybe 20 point difference. Their forwards are good but backs very average. The Glenwood pack is a powerful one so to be bullied a bit the Monnas one is good. I just don’t see the small KES pack coping with them. They are better than Affies, for sure…
@ Hopper KES Monnas 1st team will be close – guaranteed
@kosie: do Garsies play Waterkloof or Monnas?
I see Jeppe u16a beat Affies – yowzer! Jeppe 1st lost 23-11
@Grasshopper: That is a tough day. Travel is always kuk. Arrive in the hot Highveld sun which seems to suck you dry no matter where you hide. Hard luck, keen to see the Affies and Grey Bloem game now.
Garsfontein 75 – 22 Eldoraigne. Well done Garsfontein. Very few schools, if any, will beat Garsies this year. Their speed out wide and interplay is very good.
@Roger: more like when KES play Monnas…eish!
@Grasshopper: wait until you play Affies u14’s ….. Stand by
@Deon Pitzer: the Monnas Under14A must be immense! Our under 14’s are pretty strong…
@Grasshopper: Tough travelling, especially to altitude. Stiil fine results you mention though.
@Deon Pitzer: 2nds drew 10-10, Under16A’s lost heavily 42-5, Under15A’s drew 29-29 and Under14A’s lost 21-14……tough day! Other teams not sure…
@Grasshopper: I think GW did well. Expected them to win this one due to those backs though, regardless of altitude, travel and the Monnas forwards. How did the other teams fare?
Selborne 1st beat Cambridge 1 st 74 10 at Cambridge
30-19 loss to Monnas in Krugersdorp is no shame at all. The Glenwood backs were far better than Monnas and vice versa for the forwards. If the backs don’t get the ball they living off scraps. I think if the game was played in Durban it might have been closer. The Monnas locks and front row were pretty big and good. MOM Vean somebody is a beast! That pack must be 820kg plus!
@BOG: Hi Bog, you conveniently don’t mention GCB’s loss against Vrede!
@BoishaaiPa: Wat gebeur met die rankings waar Affies punte gee teen Menlo en Garsies?
@Roger: Hard game, that Monument side are a quality side. Didn’t think a side could be bigger than that GW side. Not going to venture any further down that rocky road. Thanks for the info. Take it easy
@ Anti Green 30-12 last I saw with five min to play – Monnas too big and physical
Tygerberg 32-6 vs Durbanville
@Roger: What was the final score?
@Toffee:
U14A PRG 12 – SACS 15
U15A PRG 21 – SACS 13
U16A PRG 48 – SACS 5
U19B PRG 34 – SACS 11
U19A PRG 78 – SACS 7
Eisch – poor Glenwood – finding out just how tough it is on the Highveld! That field is HARD – I remember it well
Good luck to the KZN teams playing out of town opposition. Good games to those playing each other.
Pity us Westville supporters who have no fixture to follow this week. Sad that the school cannot find opposition to fill this weekend.
@Vleis: I here where you are coming from but we hope it is a bit of a spectical. Not nice for those involved when it becomes a cricket score but am sure they will come out and show character.
@Buffel: I predict a 50 point win for Kearsney on Sat. The 2014 Saints 1st team had some potential based on the u16A results, but they nevertheless started shakily and then declined into a mess, culminating in a 67 to 35 loss v St Benedicts (at home) last weekend!
@Deon Pitzer: Until the 70s, most schools played almost all their rugby within their regions. But it was common to go on annual “tours”- either in the April or June holidays, playing 2-3 matches. And yes, as far as I can remember, GCB also played in the WC, Natal, EP, Border ect. While in the Bos, I watched them play Boishaai (and won) and no, it was not the 1953 game- a little later. But remember, in the early 1900s, St Andrews was quite strong. The 1967 GCB side, with the Snyman brothers, regarded as one of the best, just narrowly beat Saints (6-3 ?? ) Then of course, during the 60s and 70s, schools like JF and Sentraal having strong sides, with the latter beating GCB on a few occasions and producing a few Springboks as well (Piet Greyling, Nelie Smith, Piet Goosen, Edrich Krantz–) So, the old FS is not quite as vaal as you think
@Old Toppie
I have seen SACS under 16A twice this year and they are a good side. The Wynberg under 16A just lost (by three points I think) to Paul Roos and it will be interesting to see if SACS can beat them. There is a great article on the SACS Rugby website by an old boy/parent who puts this year in great perspective. The SACS under 16A are big and I think they will be competitive next year already.
@playa – it is not possible to party harder, I have tried and failed on mnay occasions. LOL.
@jakes: Hoe kan dit EG se rankings negatief affekteer as julle nie speel nie?..Julle aantal wedstryde gespeel bly dieselfde en julle gemiddel bly dus dieslfde…Dit kan julle net bevoordeel om nie teen n laer kategorie skool te speel nie, want dan verdien julle dalk net 2 of 3 punte wat julle gemiddelde effens sal afbring. Dis tog logies dat n span wat teen n Top 10 speel en 5 punte verdien met n wen, n voordeel moet kry en sy gemiddelde punt per wedstryd verhoog teenoor n span wat wen teen n swak span of hoe?..As julle glad nie speel nie bly dit status qua en jou gemiddeld verander nie. Dit kan selfs beteken dat julle kan opskuif indien spanne bokant jou verloor of teen laer katergorie spanne speel en wen.
@DieBos: Dit het wel gebeur. Dit was een van daardie skoppe wat net afgehang het van waar jy staan. Ek was agter die pale en dink die skydsregter was reg dat dit oor was, al was dit Outeniqua wat geskop het. Gelukkig het die skop nie die uitslag van die wedstryd bepaal nie. Wat die skole se krag betref, kan ek nie regtig sê wat die rede is nie, maar daar is net nie meer ‘n vergelyking.
Die ander probleem is dat Oakdale verlede week met 18 spanne gespeel het. 14 teen Outeniqua en vier teen ander. Gister het Oudshoorn met 3 spanne gekom.
@Oakdale supporter:
Wat het gebeur teen Kwaggas. Hoor skeidsregter het strafskop as oor gegee, terwyl albei lynregters wys dit was mis?
Jammer dat ander SWD skole soos Punt en Oudtshoorn uitsak. Waar is die talent dan . Hulle was altyd baie kompeterend
Oakdale won Oudshoorn 73-5. Match were stopped 20 minutes early. Some of these SWD-League games is such a joke. Oakdale vs Outeniqua is the only competitive game for these 2 schools.
The KC /Saints fixture is always entertaining and we play them annually on a home and away basis. This year it is at KC and Saints are again a bit of an unknown quantity for us.
On form KC should be too strong but anything can happen on the day. At age group level KC have yet to lose and with their 4 KZN reps think it will be a bridge too far for Saints . The boys first taste of live rugby on TV so very exciting.
@BOG: Interesting and impressive stats. But against who did you play in the good old OFS a 100 years ago? Hard to imagine the GCB boys spanning in the ox wagons to cross the Drakensberg to play Maritzburg College, which was probably the closest existing school at that stage! Or did you play Oranje and Eunice in those days? Were you at school in GCB in then?@beet: Do you have the OFS stats for the early 1900’s? Perhaps BOG still has his school diaries lying around for your convenience!
@phat55: Is the the PRG vs SACS game still referred to as Winter’s Day, as it used to be? It used to be quite a big thing with boys from the visiting school staying over at the host school etc? Definitely an older than 100 fixture as well, but I just do not hear the term “Winter’s Day” being used any more!
@BOG: that is so damn true,they really need to be commended for that!!
Im sure SACS will welcome this weather as it will be a big leveller,so it could end up being a real tough day at the office for our boys.I definitely expect us to pull off the win though!
@Rhino: I see, that you too, ignored the FACTS. I was not speaking about Grey, I was speaking of the whole region. And the word “almost” is not really unfamiliar to GCB. But the reality is that after more than 100 yrs and a winning ratio of more than 90%— I have read a few reports of GCB disappointing, how well the opposition has played ect. ect, but we are ALMOST in June and they have not yet lost. And you must realize, a fact which is often overlooked, is that the opposing sides come at them with the kitchen sink, week after week- because of their reputation. So, even if a side may have an “off” season, they lift their game against Grey and can never be underestimated.
@BOG
Ah come on yes Grey Bloem is strong but you almost had youre wheels knocked off a few times ;-) -Its defo lot like it used to be put it that way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Playa: @beet: Both of you have obviously avoided BHPs latest “ranking” list, and in particular, the comments I made there. Not having the benefit of a good FS education, permit me to re-cap. In the “Top 50”, there are 3 schools from Border, 5 from EP,2 from SWD, 6 from WP, 5 from KZN and 14 from “North Vaal” (several franchises). There are 9 ( NINE !!! ) from the “non-existent” Central region. If all the talent is concentrated in GCB, as you “occasionally” suggest, then it would seem that the schools beyond the “Central region”, are equally affected by that concentration- even more so. So, let the FACTS speak for themselves. But seriously, its sad to read about the decline of rugby in the Border region. Years ago, when Jan Preyt (he was instrumental in the establishment of CW) coached Port Rex, they always had a reasonable and competitive side. But to see these scores against them, is really sad- and not by the strongest opposition either
@Kbypa: Thanks
@Woltrui
@Woltrui
Ok understood. ish…………… the comment did to me seem as if we not good enough in general and it makes me laugh as what else must we do as a “young school” ………… appreciated though and sorry for the “jog on” backlash….Westille is/or has been recently Tops at swimming, now hockey, cricket/rugby TOP 20/15/10 for years so… what ? What else must we do? OH and academics No.1 too !!! eish…! i love all schools but seeing as everyone so competetive i have to thrown in the truth too!!!
@Rhino: There was no dig intended Rhino. Some banter about KES having an “off day” after they lost 8 – 0 to Westville on the hockey field .
@Westers – why is Westville v GC cancelled?
@Woltrui – what was the reason for the dig the other day – i replied somewhat annoyed but felt it was unnecessary and also cant find the thread to see if there was a comment ?
31 May Diamantveld vs Landboudal, Helpmekaar vs Noord-Kaap.
MikeST. Jy is reg. Ek dink as spanne onttrek affekteer dit albei skole op die rankings want niemand kry punte nie. Dis regtig jammer, dit sal EGJ se rankings affekteer. Die Valke skole sal groot verandering aan hul bepalings moet doen ten opsigte van die Makro liga. Ander skole kry groot pak teen EG Jansen en Kempton park. Ek stel voor dat Kempies en EGJ moet in ‘n aparte groep wees, en direk semis toe gaan volgens nr 1 en 2. Die ander skole moet dit uitspook vir plek in semis teen hulle. Dit kan werk en sal dit voorstel vir die Valke skole unie. Sodoende kan EGJ en Kempies meer friendly wedstryde speel teen sterker skole tussen die seisoen in. Ek sal regtig nie verbaas wees as Jeugland ook onttrek nie. Hulle het met ongeveer 50 punte teen Kempies verloor.
Me think the following: Those Charkies from Glenwood high is in for a BIG surprise!! There is no place to hide in Krugersdorp. Highveld, nice rockhard pitch mixed with a couple of ugly Dutchies makes for an uncomfortable afternoon
@Playa: Welcome back Playa. The only blogger on this blog that has some common sense. Missed you mate.
@jakes: clearly you confidence in Anker is null and void as they have indeed withdrawn similar to Affies from playing against DR EG Jansen. Truly pathetic.
Hopefully schools subjected to other schools withdrawing from playing against them would be compromised for this on the rankings.
@QC86. hope to see Grant fit and strong next season will be at Grey high festival next year ,see Cole has taken his place best of luck to all the teams against Cambridge
@Toffee:
I’m afraid that SACS are battling this year with a very inexperienced side – Paul Roos should take this comfortably – it looks like SACS are going to have to wait two years for their U16 & U15 teams to get to grade 12 & 11 – both sides have been doing very well over the past few years…
They try hard, but are just too small and have no stars..
@beet: Rest In Peace, Beet
@GreenBlooded: Review the fine print of the family excommunication clause for the term “present in body and mind”. If missing apply this BHP formula : Saturday event + game on TV + walka = best of both
@GreenBlooded: Same position. My longest standing friends are having a combined birthday and wedding anniversary weekend away. It’s a group of people that go back to schooldays before some of the people on this blog were even born, some flown in from overseas to join us. Cannae be missed.
I smaak ’em, but their timing sucks, so I will be in a spot where there is no TV and intermittent cell reception. Will miss the dinner tomorrow as well ..
@Playa: Don’t worry BOG stands for Bloemfontein’s Only Grey
@Gungets Tuft: Regrettably – my cousin, a male specimen no less, has committed the unforgivable act of deciding to get married in the middle of rugby season. I will think of a suitable punishment for him over the course of the next few days, but sadly I will be excommunicated from the inner family circle if I do not attend so sadly I will once again miss the Hilton vs College match. More’s the pity – the wedding chow had better be top notch!!
@ebie: EL has a ‘Bloem Problem’ (BOG will kill me), with all the talent being concentrated at Selborne. One could be cheeky and say it’s a Border problem. Besides the colleges, only Hudson, Cambridge and Grens tend to be competitive more often than not.And these are schools with more girls than boys. Port Rex always gave 60 minutes of rugby and were proud. I am not sure how things are now, but back then they were a school of 600 pupils, and only 100 were girls. They used to get a number of boys from Dale Junior going there making the derby all the more interesting. They’d match us in team numbers every time. How times have changed. Stirling, however, was always just a tennis school…I thought they had stepped up by playing the colleges
History Lesson – humour me.
Hilton vs College, first played in 1875, when teams were made up of boys and staff and played in the old Murray Cup competition. College and Hilton are the only schools to have won the Murray Cup, in 1900 and 1898 respectively.
The schools have played 164 times, College have won 111, Hilton won 42, Drawn 11. Detailed results of the 19th century matches do not exist, but do from 1902. 2013 was won by Hilton at home, 38-22.
Only DHS (1910) and Glenwood (from 1921, but with a return match each year) have played more matches against College, with House(1901) running just 1 match behind Hilton. The only team with a longer history against College is Hermannsberg, the first match being played in 1870, but was a once off till last year when a ceremonial match was played for our 150th.
Saturday will be a brilliant day, if you have nothing else to do, a trip to Sleepy Hollow will be well worth it.
@Teebow: Yes, the games are at Monna. U14A play on Ras Van Rooyen field at 08:00 and are really worth looking at. The first team game is at 12:15. The Glenwood boys will be travelling back home straight after this game.
Thanks to the Monnas parents who are going to be taking good care of all the GW boys and opening their homes to accommodate the boys. Wish I was going.
I am really getting worried about the state of schools rugby in East London. Apart from Selborne nobody is getting stronger/more competitive.
I must take my hat off to Port Rex though. They kept on playing till the end and ran the ball from penalties from their own goal line when time was up.
They still field lots a number of teams per age group although the results go against them. Unlike Stirling that is twice the size of Grens who wont even field a 3rd team this weekend and barely has an u16 team.
@ebie: Sjoe!Port Rex…174 points conceded in two games
@QC86: Eish! Sad news. I wish him a speedy recovery and full health.I am sure he’ll come back stronger next year.
Hi Beet
Result from yesterday. Grens 73 Port Rex 5
Fixture for 31 May 2014: Stirling vs Grens
@beet: Thanks Beet,could have been worse but he is very sad,was included in the CW team and now not to play really hurt him.@Queenian: I always shout for QC but some time just softer than other times
Quite a few SBR games on TV – However , Will record these & go and watch some local games – see how the other Schools are doing – Maybe DHS -St Charles
@QC86: Hey Rudi sorry to hear about that at least now you can shout for QC in the return game in EL
Has any audit on Jeppe been done?
No u/19’s or players from foreign countries?
@QC86: very sad news to hear about Grant. All the best to him with the recovery. Hopefully he’s 100% come the start of the 2015 season
@spilly: Grant and Sky will not play again this season.Playing in the firsts are 7 grade 11 and in the seconds 5 i think.@Playa: Grant hurt his knee against Grey bloem,tore his MCL ,so sadly game over for now.
@spilly: Are you talking about Grant Venter? What happened to him?
@GCollege86 Hope Grant doing well, any idea when Grant and Skye will be returning too play again. Would be great to know how many Grade 11s are playing in the 2nd team.
St Benedicts must go into the game against PBHS this weekend as firm favourites.
Having beaten St Stithians convincingly and with Boys High missing some key players, Bennies must be relishing the opportunity to get one over Boys High.
@Vleis
I agree with you – St Albans were unlucky to lose to Boys High. If ever there was a chance to beat Boys High at Boys High it would be this year.
However, Boys High have had their fair share of injuries this year and were missing a good few first choice players against St Albans.
@Toffee: Enjoy the weekend away. Come back in one piece, so don’t try and out-party your wife
Is the Glenwood vs Monnas game played at Monnas?
Marais Viljoen het vroeer in die seisoen ‘n goeie oorwinning oor Florida gehad. Marais het egter 10 spelers uit agv beserings en dus sal hulle diep moet soek Saterdag. Kom Marais, julle kan.
@Toffee: I am currently in Hermanus. Don’t expect to spend time on the beach. Also my birthday party on Saturday, in Hermanus! Congrats to the wife!
Hi Beet, Oakdale speel more teen Oudshoorn. Liga wedstryd, wat Saterdag moes plaasvind, maar Oudshoorn wou net 1 span per ouderdomsgroep stuur.
Nou speel hulle sommer more middag na skool.
@Toffee: The weather in the Cape and Winelands will be the same as last weekend. Strong winds and rain. That’s normally a big factor in any game. Enjoy your weekend!!
@Toffee: You must start practising the Rolling Stones Anthem about satisfaction for the weekend. Maybe you will get some sympathy from your wife. But from the Stormers you Will get no satisfaction even if you try.
@Toffee: You can watch Kearsney vs Stithians. Stormers should just hand over the 5 points to the Sharks. SA first. PRG will have it tough against Sacs, rugby and hockey.
The match between Wynberg and Bishops is going to be very interesting. Wynberg more structured all over the field and very good defensively. Bishops with a bigger pack and electric backs.
I will miss the game. It is my wife’s birthday and she booked a week-end away in Hermanus. She thought as it was mid year vac for Varsity she was safe that I would not miss the Ikeys games but she did not consult me on the schools fixtures! I will have to satisfy myself with the Stormers giving the Sharks a rugby lesson on TV!
I hope SACS show some fight against Paul Roos and do not get thrashed. Stellenberg could surprise a few more they are a well balanced side.
@Roger: Like KES, the 2014 St Alban’s 1st team is not as good as previous models…plus they are missing a few key players due to injury. That said, they are a very gutsy team and were very unlucky to lose by 2 points away to Boys High last week (even without said injured players)….so you never know. 8)
Jeppe – Affies should be a cracking affair
Vleis – might be a chance for St Albans to get one over the Reds
Monument vs Glenwood will be live on channel 210 at 12:05
Westville vs George Campbell has been cancelled.
EG Jansen against Die Anker in the Beeld trophy in the Falcons region. Although Die Anker had a draw against Florida earlier this year, they are still in for a big hiding. Yet they know this but you will not see them withdrawing their teams against EG Jansen. I take my hat off for schools like that who stick to their commitments. It will only make them stronger. Good luck for Die Anker.
Hi Beet,
Have been trying to set PVR for Saturday. Not listed as yet.
