Schoolboy rugby fixtures: Paarl Boys v Paul Roos, Affies v KES

One of South Africa’s most distinguished schoolboy rugby rivalries headlines this weekend’s action, though it is not alone.

Paarl Boys’ High hosting Paul Roos Gimnasium is one of three games featuring in the King Price Schools Derby Series on Saturday, with Nico Malan taking on Marlow Landbou, and Wynberg Boys’ High competing against Diocesan College are two of the other big fixtures.

Paul Roos come from a scintillating 40–36 win over another top school, Boland Landbou, thanks to a last-minute penalty try from a rolling maul last weekend.

Paarl Boys also come from a close win, clinching a 32–26 victory away at Wynberg. They sit second in the latest schoolboy rugby rankings while Paul Roos will look to climb up from fifth.

Other big fixtures this weekend include Affies against KES, Rondebosch host Boland Landbou, Stellenberg entertain Oakdale and Paarl Gim welcome Drostdy.

All these schools rugby fixtures take place on Saturday.
