Schools rugby fixtures: Pretoria derby a welcome break from the books
Affies will look to climb from fourth in the current schools rugby rankings, as they are the only school in the top seven with a fixture this weekend.
They will host 29th-ranked Pretoria Boys' High in a derby that headlines a fairly quiet weekend, due to exams being written in some schools.
It offers somewhat of a breather after last weekend was action-packed, seeing Paarl Gim suffer their first defeat of the year. It came against local rivals Paarl Boys High, who overtook them on the rankings.
In the other big derby in Gqeberha, Grey College beat Grey High 46-15, while in Joburg, Jeppe edged KES 39-31.
However, this weekend sees two more King Price Schools Derby Series matches. Eighth-ranked Oakdale host Boland Landbou in the Western Cape while Hoërskool Upington take on Duineveld in the Northern Cape, ensuring there is still plenty of action this weekend.

Schools rugby results: Affies crush Pretoria Boys, Boland edge Oakdale
As the season winds down, schools are chasing higher positions in the rankings. South Africa's schools entertained crowds with fantastic rugby this past weekend, maintaining the action seen all season and underscoring our bright future in the sport. But with limited time left in the season, the results, while exciting, did little to change the likely final rankings. Only one school in the top seven played, Affies hosting rivals Pretoria Boys' High in a much-anticipated affair. The King Price Schools Derby went almost entirely one way, though, as Affies did their all to climb the rankings while the other giants slept. They secured a commanding 41–12 victory over their neighbours. It was close, but not enough to change the standings. According to the latest figures, Affies' win took their average bonus points up to 19.906, not too far off Grey College at 20.093. Boland Landbou secured an important win away from home against higher-ranked Oakdale. While it did not change their rankings (Boland 19th and Oakdale eighth), the 34–27 win brought Boland much closer to Queen's College besides boosting the Western Cape school's pride. Graeme College also beat Queen's College 20–17.
