  • Rooi Bulle en Rhinos in NuPower/Tuks-eindstryd en Puma-proewe

    DIE twee voorste skolerugbyspanne van die Pumas, HTS Middelburg en Hoërskool Nelspruit sal more op die LC de Villiers-stadion in Pretoria sake om die titel as kampioen van die NuPower/Tuks-reeks uitspook.

    Verlede jaar se naaswenner, Waterkloof van Pretoria het nie vanjaar aan die reeks deelgeneem nie. Die Klofies sal more teen Hoërskool Noord-Kaap in ‘n interskole-kragmeting in Kimberley te staan kom. Die verdedigende kampioen, Centuiron is twee weke gelede deur HTS Middelburg uitgeskakel. 

    Die kragmeting tussen HTS Middelburg en EG Jansen vroeër in vanjaar se kompetisie is as die eintlike “eindstryd” beskou omdat dié twee skole se spanne as die voorste spanne in die reeks gereken was. Die span van Middelburg het die kragmeting 15-12 gewen.

    Die Rhinos van Nelspruit beklee egter ‘n hoër posisie as die Rooi Bulle op School of Rugby se nuutste ranglys. Die Rhinos beklee die sewende posisie, terwyl HTS Middelburg die tiende posisie beklee. EG Jansen wat deur HTS Middelburg uitgeskakel is, beklee tans die vyfde posisie. Die Rooi Bulle kan met ‘n oorwinning in die eindstryd hom moontlik onder die voorste vyf spanne in die land laat tel.

    Drie losvoorspelers van verlede jaar se Pumas Cravenweek-span Willandré Kotzenberg (HTS Middelburg), Daniël Maartens en Menzi Nhlabathi (albei Nelspruit) sal in die eindstryd in aksie wees. Die Rooi Bulle se slot Michael Basson was ook verlede jaar vir die Pumas op die Cravenweek in Port Elizabeth in aksie.

    Albei spanne se spelers was Maandag nog in die Pumas se proewe in aksie, maar die keurders kon net sowel die twee spanne se spelers vir dié proewe afgegee het en die eindstryd kom bywoon het. Die Rooi Bulle is nog onoorwonne vanjaar en het onder andere met Marais Viljoen (75-5), Transvalia (38-8), Florida (47-23), Hoërskool Klerksdorp (26-15), Wonderboom (34-3), Zwartkop (59-3), HTS John Vorster (29-15) en EG Jansen (15-13) afgereken.

    Nelspruit se enigste nederlaag tot dusver die seisoen was teen Waterkloof (17-22) op St. John-kollege in Johannesburg se Paastoernooi.

    Die spanne is:

    HTS Middelburg: 15 Michael Chabant, 14 Allen Muller, 13 Lourens Basson, 12 George Fritz, 11 Ruan du Plooy, 10 Lohan Bennet, 9 Rowan Gouws, 8 Christo de Jager, 7 Waldo Morris, 6 Willandré Kotzenberg, 5 Michael Basson, 4 Petrus du Busson, 3 Stephan Liebenberg, 2 Nelius Smit, 1 JP Zaayman.

    Hoërskool Nelspruit: 15 Jesse du Toit, 14 Ruan Nel, 13 Kabous Engelbrecht, 12 Helgard Viljoen, 11 Mauro Bucuchae, 10 Waldo Putter, 9 Christiaan Erasmus, 8 Menzi Nhlabathi, 7 Bendré Heroldt, 6 Daniël Maartens, 5 Riaan le Roux, 4 Gert Aggenbach, 3 Conraad van Vuuren, 2 Jaco Vosloo, 1 Ben-Chris Badenhorst.

  • SA U20 team named to face Namibia

    SA U20 team named to face Namibia

    The SA Under-20 side to face the senior Namibia rugby team on Saturday on Stellenbosch was announced on Wednesday in Cape Town.

    Kick off time is 14h50 at the Paul Roos Markötter Stadium and the match will be played after the traditional Cape schoolboy derby between Paul Roos and Paarl Gymnasium.

    Although several players will miss the clash because of injury, Vodacom Blue Bulls flanker Ruan Steenkamp will still lead a starting fifteen that includes the exciting attacking talents of Robert du Preez (flyhalf) Seabelo Senatla (wing),

    Justin Geduld (centre) and Cheslin Kolbe (fullback).

    The players who were not considered because of injury are Hanco Venter (scrumhalf), Handré Pollard (flyhalf), Dries Swanepoel (centre), Jan Serfontein (centre) and Sergeal Petersen (wing).

    The match is the last outing for the Junior Springboks before they embark on their IRB Junior World Championship journey to defend their title next month year in France.

    Dawie Theron, the SA U20 coach, said he was looking forward to see the Junior Springboks in action.

    “Namibia will pose a huge physical challenge, which will be very good for our boys. We need another good workout before we leave for France and this match will give us a wonderful opportunity to test our various combinations,” said Theron.

    Theron said that despite the several injuries amongst the backs, his team still packs some very good firepower in the attacking department.

    “We are really fortunate to have such big a pool of very good attacking players and I am really excited and looking to see them in action. However, the backs can only play display their true potential if the forwards do their job,” added Theron.

    The team will have one more training session on Thursday morning before moving camp to Stellenbosch in the afternoon.

    15. Cheslin Kolbe (DHL Western Province)

  • Results – KwaZulu-Natal – 4 May 2013

    Kearsney played with the wind behind them in the first half and this enabled them to be on the front foot for most of the 35 minutes, where three converted tries were scored. The scrums were evenly contested with Michaelhouse shading the line outs mainly due to some good work by stand- in captain, Chris Schoeman. It was the superior backline that helped Kearsney and with the loose forwards winning the loose ball, Kearsney had the better of possession and territory.

    Their reward came with a try from winger Ryan van der Waal, scored in the right hand corner from a backline rehearsed move. Flyhalf Tristan Tedder featured prominently in this play and aptly converted for a 7 – 0 lead. The next try came from lock Dan du Preez who has returned to the Kearsney 1st XV following an injury and a long layoff. The visitors forward pack mauled and were making their way out of their 22 when prop Mthunzi Moloi successfully ripped the ball from a MHS player to feed Du Preez, who showed a good turn of pace and outstanding evasive skills to score next to the right hand upright. Tedder added the two points.

    The visitors fought back well during the latter part of the half but Kearsney scored again through the ever alert eighth man Ayron Schramm, pounced on a loose ball from a lineout and dived over. Tedder again converted for a halftime score of 21 – 0.

    Kearsney faced an ever increasing headwind in the second half and battled with their territorial kicks. Michaelhouse soon capitalised with a deserving but unconverted try by prop Chris Whiting after some very good forward play.

    Soon afterwards Kearsney scored through lock Mitch du Toit from a lineout maul which Tedder masterly converted in very difficult conditions. With a 28 – 5 lead the hosts now played with confidence and scored again within five minutes. Jean-Luc du Preez collected a ball from a lineout and after a 30 metres run offloaded to Schramm. From the ensuing breakdown the backs took the ball wide and when tackled, scrumhalf Matt Reece-Edwards sniped around the fringes to score. The conversion attempt was unsuccessful.

    Kearsney applied relentless pressure on the visitors and in the 32nd minute was awarded a centre scrum close to the opposing the ball went through a number of hands to Schramm for his second try.

    Michaelhouse, missing six regulars due tro injuries never gave up on their efforts despite Kearsney dominance particularly amongst the backs.

    Results:

    Kearsney 38 Michaelhouse 5; St Charles 0 Hilton 34; KES 16 Westville 22; Vootrekker 29 Weston 7; Parktown 31 DHS 5; St Henrys 36 Pinetown 15; Wartburg 5 Howick 38; Thomas More 32 Kloof 12; Carter 13 Treverton 11; New Forest 15 Amanzimtoti 0; Hillcrest 17 Port Shepstone 24; Kingsway 8 Gelofte 22; Creston 66 St Patricks 0; Crawford LL 40 South Coast Dev 0;

  • Paarl Gim, Kwaggas, Grey-kollege en Affies onoorwonne op Wildeklawer

    Paarl Gim, Kwaggas, Grey-kollege en Affies onoorwonne op Wildeklawer

    DIE span wat die skolerugby-seisoen as die land se voorste span wil afsluit sal vir Paarl Gimnasium die loef moet afsteek. Die span van die Paarl het sy onoorwonne status vir die seisoen behou deur Waterkloof van Pretoria 34-6 op die tweede dag van die Wildeklawer-toernooi hier te verslaan. Die telling vlei wel ‘n bietjie die wenspan, maar daar is geen twyfel dat hy wel die beste span op die veld was nie.

    Gimmies het rustyd slegs 10-6 voorgeloop. Klofies se Tinus de Beer het sy span met twee strafdoele in die wedstryd gehou, maar die span van Pretoria kon nie die druk in die tweede helfte so goed soos in die eerste verwerk nie.

    Gimmies se krag lê voorlangs in sy losvoorspelers Rikus Bothma en Jacques Vermeulen terwyl die slot JD Schickerling gewis ook goud werd vir dié span is. Agterlangs het die heelagter, Grant Hermanus die geleenthede wat na sy kant toe gekom het ten volle benut en twee keer gaan druk. 

    Grey-kollege het in ‘n senutergende wedstryd vir Monument 13-8 geklop. Monnas het heelwat geleenthede in die tweede helfte gehad om ‘n oorwinning te behaal. Die span van Krugersdorp het byvoorbeeld twee vaskoppe vyf tree van Grey se doellyn gehaak, maar slegs desperate verdediging en hope durf deur Grey se agttal het die verloorspan van ‘n sege weerhou. Grey se agtsteman Andries Kriek en slot De Wet Bezuidenhout verdien veral ‘n vermelding vir hulle vertonings. 

    Affies moes veel harder werk om Paul Roos Gimnasium tot oorgawe te dwing as wat vooraf verwag is. Die span van Stellenbosch se pak voorspelers met sy kaptein en flank Christo van der Merwe aan die spits het nie ‘n enkele tree vir die veel groter agttal van Affies terug gestaan nie. Die span van die Jakarandastad se senter Jurie Linde het in die tweede helfte amper na willekeur gate in Paul Roos se verdediging gevind en sy span gehelp om die bordjies na verlede jaar se nederlaag teen die Stellenboschers te verhang. 

    Glenwood het deurgans positiewe en aanskoulike rugby gespeel en Sean Erasmus en sy troepe is daarvoor deur die rugbygode beloon. Die Groen Masjien het die Hoër Jongenskool Paarl 17-15 getroef. 

    Die verloorspan het teen die omdraaislag ‘n voorsprong van 10-0 geniet. Glenwood se senter, Nkululeko Mcuma was sy span se beste speler op die veld.

    Diamantveld is volgende jaar die beplande gasheer vir die toernooi, maar die skool se eerstespan sal sy sokkies moet optrek indien hy steeds as ‘n sogenaamde SuperSkool wil tel. EG Jansen het die span van Kimberley die grootste loesing ooit in die toernooi toegedien toe hy Diamonds 64-0 afgeransel het. Diamantveld het op die eerste dag teen Grey van die Baai (10-51) sy rieme behoorlik styfgeloop.

  • Menlopark, Sentraal, Affies and Stellenberg through to semi-finals

    The defending champions, Menlopark will face Sentraal of Bloemfontein tomorrow in the semi-final of the Wildeklawer SuperSchools Netball tournament. Menlopark are aiming to bag their third successive title this year at Maritzburg College in Pietermaritzburg.

    Menlopark is still unbeaten after victories against Paarl Girls’ High (32-31) and Diamantveld (38-25) in their two pool matches. They booked their place in the semi-final by defeating Monument of Krugersdorp 46-29 in their quarterfinal today.

    Sentraal booked their place in the semi-final by beating the Wildeklawer Invitation side 36-25. The side from Bloemfontein’s only defeat thus far came against Stellenberg (33-39) in their pool match. Stellenberg will face Affies of Pretoria in the other semi-final tomorrow.

    Affies was the champions of the inaugural tournament in 2010. Affies and Stellenberg are also still unbeaten. Affies defeated Paarl Girls’ High 33-26 to reach the semi-final, while Stellenberg came out on top 37-17 against Paarl Gimnasium to book their place in the next round.

    EG Jansen defeated Diamantveld 27-26 in a tightly contested match. Diamonds lead by a single point 8-7 after the first quarter, while EG Jansen was in the lead 15-12 with the half-time break.

    The two teams were deadlocked at 19-all after the third quarter and with everything to play for in the final quarter. For the winning side Chantelle Wentzel (goal assist), Charissa Lotter (wing defence) and Esmerelda Blom (goal keeper) were stalwarts. For the team from Kimberley Tuané Gouws (goal assist) and Johané Janse van Rensburg (wing defence) were their best players on the day.

    Ben Vorster came out on top against Rustenburg 33-29 in their second round clash. Waterkloof won their encounter on day two against EG Jansen 39-24. Ben Vorster lost their second match of the day against Diamantveld 30-44.

  • Kwaggas wys hulle het nog hope skop teen Kloof

    DIE verwagting van ‘n hewige tweestryd in die hoofwedstryd van die eerste dag van Wildeklawer SuperSkole het nie aan verwagtinge voldoen nie.

    Die Hoërskool Outeniqua het Waterkloof 39-19 gewys dié Kwaggas het nog hope skop. Die wenspan het rustyd reeds 34-0 voorgeloop en Klofies kon net nie al die gate toestop nie. Veral die Kwaggas se losskakel Dewald Human het met sy flinke systappe verby verdedigers gedans, terwyl die vleuel Duhan van der Merwe met vaart en krag ook vir Klofies probleme op die verdediging besorg het.

    Wat die span van Pretoria verder sal kwel is dat hy more teen Paarl Gimnasium te staan kom, wat verlede week vir Outeniqua 37-25 geklop.

    Al die spanne van die Wes-Kaap het in hulle tweede helftes insinkings beleef. Dié insinkings kan aan die hitte toegeskryf word. Dit was gister 30 grade in Pietermaritzburg.
    Paul Roos is die enigste span van dié Wes-Kaap wat ondanks sy insinking ‘n oorwinning van 30-17 oor Maritzburg-kollege kon behaal. Die span se losskakel Aiyden Cupido se stelskopwerk was op die ou einde die verskil tussen die twee spanne.

    Grey-kollege het in die tweede helfte van sy wedstryd teen Oakdale Landbou na ‘n hoër rat versnel om uiteindelik 42-20 koning te kraai. Die span se binnesenter, Carel Durow het die vonk in die tweede helfte verskaf. Sy verstandhouding met die plaasvervanger-losskakel Dwayne Wessels het heelwat gate in Oakdale Landbou se verdediging agterlangs ontbloot.

    Dit was glad nie ‘n gelukkige dag vir twee spanne van die Diamantstad nie. Noord-Kaap het sy eerste wedstryd ooit op dié toernooi teen EG Jansen 12-39 in die stof gebyt. Terwyl Grey van Port Elizabeth vir Diamantveld ‘n les 51-10 geleer het. Diamonds se losskakel, Deon van Zyl is vroeg in die wedstryd deur die skeidsregter Renier Vermeulen vir ongeoorloofde spel van die veld gejaag.

    Die span van die Baai sou in elk geval koning gekraai het met sy twee losvoorspelers kaptein CJ Velleman en Johan van Niekerk wat woelig was.

    Glenwood se vleuel Sphamandla “Sparks” Ngcobo het die vonk vir sy span se oorwinning van 36-13 oor Boland Landbou verskaf. Ngcobo het ‘n driekuns aan drieë behaal. Boland Landbou het rustyd 13-10 voorgeloop, maar soos al die Wes-Kaapse spanne ‘n insinking in die tweede helfte beleef.

Van der Walt is the younger brother of South African Schools’ flyhalf of 2011 Jáko van der Walt. 

    Grey College struggled to find their rhythm in the first half, but still managed to beat Oakdale Landbou 42-20. The team from Riversdal was more than able opponents and was the best team on the field in the first half. The sides were deadlocked 13-all at the break after a try by Oakdale winger Juan Terblanché and a penalty by outside centre Jan Oberholzer. 

    Grey College’s centre Carel Durow was named man of the match for his efforts. Durow was without a doubt the most influential player in Grey College’s shift of gear in the second half. He and flyhalf Julian Jordaan combined well to find gaps in the Oakdale Landbou defence. 

    Grey Boys’ High recorded the second half-century of the first day as they made sure the Kimberley schools finish a day that they would rather forget. Grey PE smashed Diamantveld 51-10 after leading 39-5 at the break. Winger Dylan Vermaak scored two of his side’s nine tries. Richard Bryant and Matthew Alhorough only managed to convert three of their team’s tries.
