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.

The Junior Springboks are world champions. Image: SA Rugby website Home » Junior Springboks: What schools they went to The Junior Springboks are world champions. Image: SA Rugby website The Junior Springboks followed in the footsteps of the Springboks and Blitzboks to become world champions. The Junior Springboks further stamped South Africa's authority over world rugby when they beat New Zealand 23-15 to become world champions. Some of the traditional giants of South African schools feature prominently. 15 Gilermo Mentoe (Bishops)14 Cheswill Jooste (Noordheuwel)13 Demitre Erasmus (Garsfontein)12 Albie Bester (Boland Landbou)11 Jaco Williams (Glenwood)10 Vusi Moyo (KES) 9 Haashim Pead (Bishops) 8 Wandile Mlaba (Michaelhouse)7 Bathobele Hlekani (Graeme)6 Xola Nyali (Wynberg)5 JJ Theron (Grey College)4 Riley Norton (captain) (Paul Roos)3 Herman Lubbe (Stellenberg)2 Siphosethu Mnebelele (KES) 1 Simphiwe Ngobese (DHS) 16 Jaundré Schoeman (Noordheuwel)17 Oliver Reid (Paul Roos)18 Jean Erasmus (Grey College)19 Jaco Grobbelaar (Fichardtpark)20 Matt Romao (Drostdy)21 Stephanus Linde (Voortrekker)22 Ceano Everson (Monument) 23 Dominic Malgas (Nico Malan) Traditional SA schools giants Paul Roos and Grey College continue to produce national players for SA rugby. Paul Roos had two players including captain Norton and replacement prop, Reid. Meanwhile, Grey College also produced two of Junior Boks – JJ Theron and replacement Jean Erasmus. Furthermore, KES, Bishops and Noordheuwel all produced two players each in the U20 Championship final. U20 Championship top point-scorer, Muyo and hooker, Mnebelele (both from KES) started the final against New Zealand. Also, Bishops produced talented scrumhalf Paed and dangerous fullback, Mentoe. So, not one of the 23-man squad comes from Affies or Paarl Gimnasium. Finally, Noordheuwel also had a couple of players in the side. Skilful winger Cheswill Jooste and replacement hooker Jaundré Schoeman come from the Krugersdorp High School. Let us know by leaving a comment below or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
