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.

Schools rugby: Grey battle past Affies, Transvalia triumph, KZN action heats up

Grey College fought back from 10-0 down to beat Affies in Bloemfontein, while Paul Roos held off a spirited Boland Landbou. Affies made a dream start thanks to fullback Lamond Baatjies and flyhalf Ruben Groenewald, before a yellow card for a cynical foul helped Grey get back into the game. Tries by fullback Lamla Mgedezi, outside centre Ethan Adams and No 8 Adem Nieuwoudt saw the hosts lead 21-17 at half-time. Adams and Mgedezi scored again in a second half that Grey dominated, before Affies finished strongly with two late tries. However, Grey fully deserved their 42-37 victory and their pack most of the plaudits for subduing Affies' highly-rated forwards. Watch the highlights: In the Western Cape, Paul Roos won a high-scoring thriller at Boland Landbou 40-36, Rondebosch claimed a convincing 40-17 win at SACS, and hosts Wynberg made Paarl Boys' work hard for a 32-26 victory. At the Sharks Schools Rugby Day at Hilton College on Friday, the hosts hammered Glenwood 55-15, DHS defeated Kearsney 42-20 and Westville edged Maritzburg College 22-21. Meanwhile, in Vanderbijlpark, the SDC Noordvaal Cup Division match between Hoërskool Transvalia and Hoërskool Dr. E.G. Jansen ended in victory for Transvalia. Vaalweekblad reports that one of the team's weapons was its seven-flank Daniel Kazambo, who scored three tries.
