Already, Bishops extended their century-old perfect home record against St Andrew’s with a victory that was closer than they would have liked. They won 28-24 on the Piley Rees on Thursday.

The country’s top schools will compete in the Noord-Suid tournament. Mouthwatering fixtures include Garsfontein against Stellenberg, Jeppe against Paarl Boys High, Paul Roos against Monument, Noordheuwel against Paarl Gim, Grey College against Helpmekaar and Affies against Oakdale.
