SA u19 team to play Georgia in December 2019
There is a high percentage of SA Schools continuity in the South Africa under-19 team to tour Georgia where they will play Georgia Under-19 team on Monday, 2 December, and Thursday, 5 December 2019.

New Zealand national First XV Championship 2019 – schoolboy rugby
Hastings Boys’ High School of the Hurricanes may have only finished in second place in their own regional (Super 8) round robin regular season and then been beaten in competition final but the wildcard like route proved good enough for them. When push came to shove they produced the perfect record and claimed the biggest price in New Zealand schoolboy rugby – the Barbarian Cup. Although controversial poachers St Kentigern’s were eliminated from the main title race by eventual boys’ school runners-up Kings College of Auckland, St Kent’s did go on to lift the Co-ed Cup in 2019.…

The 2019 Schoolboy Rugby Season
Hi all
The 2019 regular season is past tense!
I thought for a change it would be nice to document the 50 or so most season defining events/matches/characters of 2019.

I have attached the results that I recorded for 2019 in a PDF file to help the memory bank along.
If anyone is interested in making a contribution via comment or email (beet@schoolboyrugby.co.za) please do. I will blog the data below.…
