Schools rugby: Affies aim to climb rankings with Pretoria derby win
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. The Citizen reports they will host 29th-ranked Pretoria Boys' High School 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, with Paarl Gimnasium suffering their first defeat of the year. It came against local rivals Paarl Boys' High School, who overtook them in the rankings. In the other big derby in Gqeberha, Grey College beat Grey High School 46-15, while in Johannesburg, Jeppe College edged King Edward VII School 39-31. However, this weekend sees two more King Price Schools Derby Series matches. Eighth-ranked Oakdale Agricultural High School host Boland Landbou High School in the Western Cape, while Hoërskool Upington take on Duineveld High School in the Northern Cape, ensuring there is still plenty of action this weekend. Selected fixtures Gauteng Affies vs Pretoria Boys' High School Eastern Cape Dale College vs Selborne College Muir College vs Grey High School Nico Malan vs Brandwag (EP) Graeme College vs Queen's College Bergsig vs Marlow KZN Glenwood vs Maritzburg College Durban High School vs King Edward VII School Noordvaal Parktown Boys' High vs Jeppe College Noordvaal Cup Waterkloof vs Transvalia Rustenburg vs Monument Noordheuwel vs Menlopark Nelspruit vs EG Jansen Zwartkop vs HTS Middelburg Marais Viljoen vs Klerksdorp Middelburg vs Oos-Moot Kempton Park vs Ligbron Lichtenburg vs Pietersburg Die Anker vs Montana Heidelberg vs Secunda Hugenote (Springs) vs Piet Retief Bergsig Agricultural vs Randburg Potchefstroom Volkskool vs Ermelo Potchefstroom Gimnasium vs Eldoraigne Jeugland vs Merensky Western Cape Swartland vs Punt Oakdale vs Boland Landbou Oudtshoorn vs Daniel Pienaar Durbanville vs Outeniqua Tygerberg vs Strand Milnerton vs Stellenberg Parel Vallei vs Melkbosstrand

Markus Muller makes big decision on future, signs for THIS team
South Africa's brightest schoolboy rugby stars are set to take centre stage in Cape Town this week as the Under-18 international series kicks off. The SA U18 and SA U18 'A' teams will face tough opposition from France, England, Ireland and Georgia in what promises to be a showcase of emerging talent. In a dramatic prelude to the international series, Paarl Boys' High claimed a last-gasp 35-33 victory over arch-rivals Paarl Gimnasium at a packed Faure Street Stadium last Saturday. Paarl Gim's Markus Muller, widely regarded as one of the top schoolboy prospects in recent memory, delivered a stellar individual performance. The captain and centre scored a try, slotted three conversions, and nailed four penalties in a near-flawless kicking display. However, it wasn't enough to hold off a five-try effort from Boishaai, led by the ice-cold boot of Tristan Joubert. With the derby behind them, attention now shifts to the international series, where Muller will lead the SA U18 side into battle against France U18 on Friday at Hoërskool Durbanville. He's expected to link up in midfield with Ethan Adams, the destructive Grey College centre who also dominated this year's school season. Coach Lwazi Zangqa faces a selection puzzle with both Muller and Adams excelling at outside centre (No 13). Muller, however, has shifted to inside centre for both Western Province and the national set-up, where he also wears the captain's armband. After one of the most successful schoolboy seasons in recent memory, Markus Muller has signed his first professional contract with the Stormers, staying within the Western Province set-up. He's joined by his Paarl Gim team-mate Quintin Potgieter (loose forward) and Craven Week centre partner Randall-John Davids (Rondebosch), who also inked deals with the Stormers. Meanwhile, Ethan Adams, who hails from the Eastern Cape and starred for Free State at the recent Craven Week, has signed with the Lions in Johannesburg. Another standout, Kai Pratt, a powerful loosehead prop from Oakdale, is headed to the Sharks, becoming one of only three South Western Districts players to make the SA U18 squad. However, not all of South Africa's rising stars are staying home. Gershom Peters , the dynamic Boishaai flanker, is headed to Benetton in Italy , despite not making a national age-group team , the dynamic Boishaai flanker, is headed to in , despite not making a national age-group team Josh Neill, captain of Rondebosch Boys and a standout No 8/flanker, has drawn the attention of Leinster in Ireland. With an Irish passport, the SA U18 forward could be poised for a switch of allegiance down the line. Neill, who plays in the SA U18 squad this week, may even face his potential future team-mates when South Africa take on Ireland U18 at Boland Landbou on Saturday. SA U18 'A' vs Ireland – 11:30 Georgia vs England – 13:30 SA U18 vs France – 15:30 SA U18 'A' vs Georgia – 11:30 SA U18 vs Ireland – 13:30 England vs France – 13:30 France vs SA U18 'A' – 11:30 Ireland vs Georgia – 13:30 SA U18 vs England – 15:30 Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 Subscribe to The South African website's newsletters and follow us on WhatsApp, Facebook, X and Bluesky for the latest news.
