Okay not quite Sunday rugby. This game will be played at Brug Street in Paarl just after midday on Saturday but it will be on DSTV Ch.319 as a delayed broadcast on Sunday at 17h00. Considering that the last TVPC live TV broadcast of the Boland Landbou versus Paarl Gim was disastrous as a result of most frames being frozen, this delay might be a blessing in disguise as it will give the producers a day to sort out any technical aspects that affect the quality.
The game itself will be a rematch of sorts. Bishops and HJS met in the pre-season 20-minutes-per-half, no kicking allowed game at Newlands. Bishops won on that occasion and although their regular season has been a relative success to date, Bishops are yet to knock over one of the top teams in 2014.

* at SA Schools trials – to be replaced
@PRondersteuner: Daar was wedstryde op die veld gespeel Dinsdag en Woensdag ook met Engelse toerspanne…Donderdag het dit begin reen..Die veld het nie herstelkans gekry nie…en dit het baie gereen. Teen Grey het dit ook gereen voor die tyd, maar die veld oppervlak was goed. Dis maar n sameloop van omstandighede.
@BoishaaiPa: Ek kan dit verstaan van die ander velde, maar hier kry ons ook baie reen, maar die veld lyk nooit so nie!!!
I watched this game on TV yesterday. That Brug Street field was a mud pit.
The HJS boys adapted very well to the situation and their ball-carrying over the advantage line was good. Either that or they they are just accustomed to playing a the field in such a poor condition. Bishops not so well. I thought the Bishops boys should have aimed their tackles much lower because they tended to slip off the usual upperbody challenges.
@PRondersteuner: Daar is niks fout met die velde nie…As dit so baie reen en daar word ge-oefen en wedstryde op gespeel is daar nie veel wat jy daaraan kan doen nie. Dreinering is daar..die water is net te veel!
@bhkgpa: ; @BoishaaiPa Wat gaan aan met daai velde van julle? Ek het foto’s gesien en dit lyk nie goed nie. Dit het al 3 jaar terug so begin lyk. Is daar rerig niks wat julle daaraan kan doen nie, of is dit julle “secret weapon”?
Well done boishaai with a very good win against Bishops.
@Toffee: Remember that Brugstraat has now been widend..so the Bishops backs will have more room…I think it will be a tough encounter for Boishaai…Bishops have a score to settle because the last time they played at Brug it was not a pretty score…and Bishops have a very good set of forwards…Not going to be an easy game
@BuffelsCM: I think they might be holding Klaas back for Interschools…He is vital at 8 for Boishaai when the going gets tough…they will only play him if really needed.
@Toffee: De Villiers is the primary source of possession in the line outs for Boishaai though. I assume Charl-Francois du Toit is still injured or is perhaps playing off the bench for Boishaai. IMO WP missed his physical presence at CW – real pity about the hamstring injury.
I hear what you are saying about Saud – he is used quite often…..it will be interesting to see Da Silva operating at no 8 !
Tristan is a younger brother and I believe he is an excellent prospect!
@Toffee: I wasn’t aware that he’s back. Lovely stuff. He’s a real ball player with excellent foot work.
I assume Tristan LLeyds is related to Dillan. Dillan has to be one of the most exciting talents I have seen for years and I am really happy that WP have recruited him back from the Western Force.
Both schools have a player at the trials but I think Bishops will miss their player more, he is involved in a lot of the moves and gets a lot of go forward. In view of the heavy rain we have had the field will be heavy going and will suite HJS more. I think the Paarl boys will win by a comfortable score and will dominate the set pieces and territory. Of all the W/Cape schools I have watched HJS have impressed the most and they are not lacking in team spirit and a fighting spirit when the going gets tough. They are a difficult team to beat, more so at home.
@Redblack White: True and what made it that much more frustrating is that I was told it was a really good game. Also most non- WC people don’t get to watch BL that often so a real letdown.
I also watched the DHS vs Kearsney game. James Hall’s try was also a powerpoint presentation. It seems like when the crowd gets too excited it effects the equipment.
But hats off to TVPC. They are trying hard and will hopefully get better. I would actually like to see them rather spend on better quality and show the games delayed with replays which are not currently available.
@Beet – I’m glad you cleared up the technical issues regarding ch 319. I watched (or tried to at least) the BL/PG game and thought that it was a powerpoint with live sound
