Schools rugby fixtures: Pretoria derby a welcome break from the books
Affies can climb the rankings while all other top seven schools take a break. 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. Selected fixtures Gauteng Affies v Pretoria BH Eastern Cape Dale v Selborne Muir v Grey HS Nico Malan v Brandwag (EP) Graeme v Queen's Bergsig v Marlow KwaZulu-Natal Glenwood v Maritzburg College Durban HS v KES Noordvaal Parktown v Jeppe Noordvaal Cup Waterkloof v Transvalia Rustenburg v Monument Noordheuwel v Menlopark Nelspruit v EG Jansen Zwartkop v HTS Middelburg Marais Viljoen v Klerksdorp Middelburg v Oos-Moot Kempton Park v Ligbron Lichtenburg v Pietersburg Die Anker v Montana Heidelberg v Secunda Hugenote (Springs) v Piet Retief Bergsig Ac v Randburg Potch Volkskool v Ermelo Potch Gim v Eldoraigne Jeugland v Merensky Western Cape Swartland v Punt Oakdale v Boland Landbou Oudtshoorn v Daniel Pienaar Durbanville v Outeniqua Tygerberg v Strand Milnerton v Stellenberg Parel Vallei v Melkbosstrand

Schools rugby fixtures: Paarl derby one of the biggest games of the year
Other big fixtures include Jeppe against KES, Waterkloof against Affies, and Grey High taking on Grey College. One of the most important school rugby fixtures plays out this weekend as Paarl Gim host Paarl Boys High. Paarl Gim have been unstoppable at the top of the schools rugby table this year, going unbeaten in 15 games. Their neighbours lie second and will want to carry momentum from their 51–8 win over SACS last weekend into this fixture. Especially as they lost 30–8 in the derby last year. But this is just one of the four King Price Schools Derby Series matches playing out. Jeppe High School for Boys' take on King Edward VII (KES) in a Joburg rivalry while Waterkloof host Affies in a Pretoria derby. In the Eastern Cape, Grey High School take on Grey College. However, Dale College's fixture against Graeme College may be an even larger game. Selected fixtures Eastern Cape Dale v Graeme Selborne v Queen's Grey HS v Grey College Daniel Pienaar v Nico Malan Marlow v Pearson Brandwag (EP) v DF Malherbe Stirling v Hudson Park Free State Jim Fouché v Goudveld Sentraal v Witteberg Fichardtpark v Voorttrekker (Beth) Diamantveld v Trio Duineveld v Bellville KwaZulu-Natal Glenwood v Parktown Northwood v Durban HS Maritzburg College v Pretoria BH Noordvaal Waterkloof v Affies Jeppe v KES Noordvaal Cup Menlopark v Monument Noordheuwel v Garsfontein Helpmekaar v Rustenburg Transvalia v Nelspruit Zwartkp v Marais Viljoen Klerksdorp v Oos-Moot Middelburg v Wesvalua HTS Middelburg v Ligbron Pietersburg v Hugenote (Springs) Ben Vorster v Montana Secunda v Lichtenburg Piet Retief v Die Anker Potch Volkskool v Randburg Merensky v Ermelo Dinamika v Potch Gim Jeugland v Bergsic Ac Western Cape Charlie Hofmeyr v Hermanus Swartland v Hopefield Outeniqua v Worcester Gim Oakdale v Paul Roos SACS v Brackenfell Stellenberg v Boland Landbou Milnerton v Bishops Paarl Gim v HJS Paarl BH Durbanville v HTS Belville Rondebosch v Drostdy DF Malan v Strand Parel Vallei v Wynberg

Springboks back in training ahead of Rugby Championship: Three focus points
The Springboks will want to look at a few areas during their two-week training camp. Springbok flyhalf Handré Pollard will likely play in every match until his younger counterparts nail their goal-kicking. Picture: Ashley Vlotman/Gallo Images After an encouraging, if not perfect, first four matches of the season, the Springboks will be getting down to business in their training camp ahead of the all-important Rugby Championship. Thirty-seven Springboks were included in the squad for the two-week camp in Johannesburg that started on Sunday. These will be eligible for the two Tests against Australia at Ellis Park on 16 August and in Cape Town on 23 August. Three U20 players, fresh from winning the World Rugby U20 Championship, are also attending the camp. It follows Bok wins against the Barbarians (54–7), Italy (42–24 and 45–0) and Georgia (55–10). These served as good warm-ups for the championship defence. But the Springboks will be focusing on a few areas of their game. Breakdown battle The Springboks recovered from the demolition they received in the breakdown battle in the first Test against Italy, but it was a whole new squad that evened things out against the 10th-ranked nation in the second Test in Gqeberha. The more experienced matchday 23 were at odds during the breakdown at Loftus. Though, to be fair, the Springboks were caught out somewhat by the referee's decision to allow Italy to flood the breakdown with players. Still, the team filled with World Cup winners could not adapt to Italy's strategy. They may need to relook at this. Who's kicking for posts? The Springboks were happy to kick for touch in the warm-up games, with their lineout and forward packs proving dominant. But it will not be so easy against the likes of New Zealand, Argentina and Australia. The Boks may need to take the three points on offer when they can. Manie Libbok and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu finished the United Rugby Championship with 72.6% and 85.7% kicking success. However, the latter struggled against Georgia, only slotting one from five. Libbok, normally the less dependable goal-kicker, nailed five out of seven the week before. Still, Handré Pollard grasped his opportunities with both hands, once again proving the best post-kicker in the Springbok squad. He will likely either start or play from the bench in every match, but the other two will especially need to practice their goal-kicking. Imparting something to the U20 world champions While it won't be a focus point so much as a secondary objective, U20 loose forward Bathobele Hlekani, winger Cheswill Jooste, and scrumhalf Haashim Pead will need to soak up as much as they can on the camp. Already world champions with big-match temperament, Erasmus will likely only wish the youngsters to rub shoulders with their seniors to absorb some of the Springbok culture, and improve on their own game. According to former Junior Bok consultant Johan Ackermann, Hlekani especially needs to tighten his tackling.
