Schoolboy rugby returns with major clashes
A busy weekend of schoolboy rugby features Affies hosting Paarl Gim and Jeppe meeting KES, alongside several other key clashes nationwide.
The schoolboy rugby action continues after the ever-entertaining Easter sports festivals last weekend, with big fixtures today.
According to The Citizen, Affies host Paarl Gim in the headline match-up.
Last year, Affies snatched a 16-16 draw away to Paarl Gim with a last-minute try and conversion. Paarl Gim will have revenge on their minds as they target both the match and the overall table.
Key clashes across the country
Meanwhile, Wynberg take on Rondebosch, Paarl Boys High face Oakdale, Stellenberg clash with Paul Roos, and Outeniqua host Boland Landbou in the other big clashes.
In Joburg, Jeppe take on KES in a significant local derby.
Upset potential remains
Other big schools have ostensibly easier fixtures. However, these could present as much opportunity for upsets as for climbing the table.
