There are some big matches in the Western and Eastern Cape as well as in KZN and Gauteng.


While a number of schools across the country are writing June exams, several are still in action on the rugby fields in South Africa.

This weekend sees a limited number of schoolboy matches, ahead of the Craven Week action that takes place during the forthcoming school holidays.

One of the big derbies this weekend takes place in the Eastern Cape where Kingswood College and St Andrew’s clash, while down in Durban, Kearsney host St Stithians from Joburg.

Also, Hilton host Maritzburg College while up north, St Alban’s and St Benedict’s do battle and St John’s host Pretoria Boys High.

Down in the Cape, SACS welcome Paarl Gimnasium while Paarl Boys High entertain Bishops.

There is no action involving any of the Free State schools this weekend.
