This is the big one. It’s the one the whole country will have an interest in – this Premier Interschools match, Gimmies vs Kwaggas, Paarl Gim vs Outeniqua in beautiful George, 1 vs 3 with both teams in great form.

Outeniqua are ranked No.1 on the FNB Top 20 at the moment with the rare scalp of Grey Bloem hanging from their belts. Paarl Gim are at No.3, and you get the feeling that they are waiting to jump. They really are two top schools – traditionally and on current form.

Last year seven Gimmies played for Western Province at Craven Week, and of the seven four are back – Grant Hermanus, Rikus Bothma, who was one of the acknowledged stars at the Kearsney Easter Festival, Jacques Vermeulen and lock JD Schickerling, who played for SA Schools last year.

Outeniqua are even better off. Last year they had 14 players in the lively South Western Districts team and seven of them are back – Stefaan Grundlingh, Geor Malan, who is this year’s captain, Remu Malan, Dewald Human, Duhan van der Merwe, Warrick Gelant, Douw Schoeman and Leighton Eksteen. In addition eighthman Dian Koen played for Boland at Craven Week last year when he was at Hermanus High School. Of those eight Craven Week players Duhan van der Merwe, who was the top try-scorer at Craven Week, and Gelant played SA Schools. That is not all Dirk Oosthuizen was in the South Western Districts Under-19 side and Gregory Nel in the Academy side. Four have played for South Western Districts at the Grant Khomo Week – Marné Botha, Wynand de Necker, Le Roux Baard and tall Eduard Zandberg who was also chosen for South Africa’s elite Under-16 squad.

Certainly that is what the teams history says, for 16 of the 22 players have played representative rugby – 15 for South Western Districts and one for Boland last year – Dian Koen, who was at Hermanus High School last year.

Gimmies are a big side and may well want to overpower the Kwaggas’ pack but their speedy backs who have an uncanny understanding amongst them selves and who act on intuition are brilliant.

This Year:

Both sides are unbeaten. Both have played Westville and Tygerberg, with similar results

Westville: Outeniqua won 33-7, Paarl Gim 46-7
Tygerberg: Outeniqua won 68-3, Paarl Gim 55-3

It probably is a fluke but that adds up to 101-10 each!

Outeniqua has beaten Grey College 22-20, which is a huge feat in itself, EG Jansen 57-34, Paarl Boys’ High 45-36 and Punt 71-3. Gim have played a match fewer because Duineveld withdrew from their match. They beat Glenwood 40-12, Kearsney 33-6 and the Stellenbosch Academy 40-17

This match on Saturday in Paarl will be special and it could be desperately close. One just hopes that the sides will be free to give expression to their talents. It is after all Freedom Day.

The referee is Jason Jaftha, one of South Africa’s top referees, fresh from refereeing Super Rugby. He will help to make the match special.

On Saturday St Andrew’s walk down the dip, over Beaufort Street and up to Somerset Heights and Graeme College for an FNB Classic Clash between two of the oldest schools in the Eastern Cape.

St Andrew’s was founded in 1855, Graeme College in 1873 as the Grahamstown Public School or the Public Undenominational School, then Victoria High Schools , then Victoria Boys’ High and then, from 1939, Graeme College.

They started playing each other in the 1870s, at first fairly casually. After all they were neighbours and matches happened easily. Mostly St Andrew’s have been the winners, sometimes by big scores, as in 2010 when they won 76-0. But things have been much closer the last two years – 10-7 in 2011 and 10-6 in 2012. That suggests that the unlikely is decidedly possible.

Both schools take their rugby seriously. In Graeme’s case that is not surprising as their headmaster is Peter Reed, a provincial scrumhalf in his day.

St Andrew’s have been doing well this year and are presently ranked 10th on the FNB Top 20. They remain unbeaten after victories over Pretoria Boys High (22-20), Helpmekaar (32-16), St Stithians (32-16), Bishops (28-21), Pearson (21-12) and Daniël Pienaar (29-7). Graeme have lost just one match – 8-3 to Selborne. They had big wins over Gill of Somerset East (72-22), Volkskool of Graaff-Reinet (33-3), Stirling of East London (40-0) and last weekend, Cambridge (19-13). Graeme believe the Classic Clash could be a close affair.

Big St Andrew’s lock Sintu Manjezi is the only player in the two teams for Saturday who has been to Craven Week – a strong player. He and the Graeme captain Gordon-Wayne Plaaitjies, are both playing in the 1st XV for their third year. The Graeme vice-captain Sipiwe Mhlom was in the Eastern Province Academy Week side while scrumhalf Craig Williams and flank Ethan September (were at the Grant Khomo Week for provincial Under-16 teams). St Andrew’s certainly have great respect for this Graeme side who have 13 players back from their 2012 side.

It will be a great day in Grahamstown on Saturday. Such derbies, ancient and between neighbours, is the cause of great interest in the City of Saints and Schools.
