  • Junior Boks edge Varsity Cup Dream Team

    Junior Boks edge Varsity Cup Dream Team

    The Junior Springboks scored a morale boosting 31-24 win over a powerful Varsity Cup Dream Team on Tuesday evening at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch.

    Playing in front of an appreciative crowd and in excellent weather conditions, the Varsity Cup selection lead 12-10 at the break after a dominant forward display in the opening half.

    However, the Junior Springboks got stronger as the match progressed and they were rewarded for the excellent fightback with a well-deserved victory. Dawie Theron, the Junior Springbok coach, admitted afterwards he was both relieved and encouraged by his team’s gritty performance.

    “This match was exactly what we needed for our World Rugby Under-20 Championship preparations. The Varsity Cup side had several players who starred in previous years for the Junior Springboks, and they were a much more matured team,” explained Theron.

    He added: “We started poorly and the Varsity boys dominated us in the first half. However, we grew in confidence especially in the second half, and the players also managed to play with more composure. The match proved that we are in need of much more work before we can be satisfied with our preparations for Italy,” cautioned Theron.

    The national selectors will announce the Junior Bok squad for a two-match tour to Argentina early next week. Before that, the hopefuls will have another training workout against the Western Province Rugby Institute in Stellenbosch.

    In a lively and entertaining match, a penalty try and an excellent effort by fullback Rhyno Smith gave the Dream Team a 12-10 lead at halftime. Dan du Plessis (centre) scored for the Junior Boks and Ernest Stapelberg (fly half) slotted a penalty.

    Dillon Smit (scrumhalf ) and Elandre Hugget (replacement hooker) scored two more tries for the Varsity Cup Dream team, who also turned down several penalty kicks at goal.

    The Junior Boks, led by number eight Hanro Liebenberg, kept the scoreboard busy through a penalty try and a well-worked five pointer by replacement hooker Jan van der Merwe. Kickers Ernst Stapelberg and Brandon Thomson added two penalties each to the tally.

    The Junior Boks are currently attending a training camp at Stellenbosch in preparation for the 2015 World Rugby Under-20 Championship in June in Italy.

    Scorers:

    Junior Springboks – Tries: Daniel du Plessis, Jan van der Merwe, penalty try. Conversions: Ernst Stapelberg, Brandon Thomson. Penalties: Stapelberg (2), Thomson (2). Varsity Cup Dream Team – Tries: Penalty try, Rhyno Smith, Dillon Smit, Elandré Hugget. Conversions: Innocent Radebe, Rhyno Smith.

  • Wildeklawer fixtures for this weekend

    Wildeklawer fixtures for this weekend

    NuusG EGJansenThe number one ranked team in South Africa according to School of Rugby, Paarl Boys’ High, will kick off their return to the Wildeklawer SuperSchools on the B-field on Saturday when they clash with Louis Botha from Bloemfontein. Boishaai will jog onto the field as favourites for this match. Their second match of the tournament will be against EG Jansen of Boksburg in a clash that will see two of the brightest locks on schoolboy level in South African, Ruben de Villiers (Boishaai) and Hendré Stassen (EG Jansen), go head-to-head.

    The match that promises to be the most memorable is the one between Grey College and Monument which will be played on the second day. The team from Bloemfontein is the only school with an unbeaten record at Wildeklawer since its inaugural tournament in 2009. Grey only joined the line-up in 2010.  

    The match between Paarl Gimnasium and Affies of Pretoria also promises to produce some fireworks. Gimmies suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Bishops on Saturday, while Affies also slipped against SACS (13-10) earlier in the season. The match between the hosts and Oakdale Landbou of Riversdal on Saturday as the main curtain raiser for the Vodacom Cup game between Griqualand West and Western Province promises to be a more exciting match than the senior game. 

    Menlopark wil make their Wildeklawer debut against Noord-Kaap on the first day after the Vodacom Cup match. All the matches on Monday will be televised live by SuperSport.

    School of Rugby Rankings – 20 April 2015

    SOR NuusPaarl Boys’ High kept their place on top of our rankings thanks to a 23-17 victory over Outeniqua of George. The team from Paarl will go into this weekend’s Wildeklawer SuperSchools unbeaten thus far. 

    Our third rankings of 2015 will only come out after the second day of #Wildeklawer2015. The tournament’s results will surely bring a few movements in our rankings as most of the top teams will be in action from Saturday in Kimberley. 

    Paul Roos Gimnasium’s place in the rankings might suffer a bit. They will be in Japan defending South Africa’s honour at the annual Sanix Rugby Tournament. The team from Stellenbosch currently occupies the third spot on our latest rankings. They moved up from fifth spot after a convincing victory of 34-3 over Grey High School in Port Elizabeth. 

    Grey College recorded an easy victory of 52-0 over Fichardtpark and kept their second position. The team will be tested against Waterkloof and Monument at Wildeklawer. Nelspruit dropped to fifth after beating Kempton Park by 31-21 in the quarter-finals of the Tuks Series. Oakdale Landbou whom didn’t play and Paul Roos moved up. The only reason for this is the fact that Kempies was not a Top 20 team in our rankings last year and the Rhinos accumulated less points for this victory which saw their average points drop. 

    All five teams in our top five is still unbeaten in 2015.

    Paarl Gimnasium, Monument, Affies and EG Jansen will surely be ranked higher in our rankings as the season progress. Gimmies could’ve ranked higher if it wasn’t for their 35-32 deafeat at the hands of Bishops on Saturday. Monnas’ defeats against Paarl Boys’ High and Paul Roos Gimnasium is their only thus far in the season.

  • Kwaggas op ‘n gallop en Paarl Gim bult spiere

    Hoërskool Outeniqua se losskakel, Manie Libbok, was gister in Pretoria teen Menlopark dalk meer Springbok as Kwagga in sy span se sege van 44-20 oor die gasheer van die Noord/Suid-toernooi.

    Die Kwaggas het teen rustyd reeds met 20-6 voorgeloop nadat Libbok 15 van sy span se punte in dié helfte aangeteken het. Hy het in die tweede helfte twee doelskoppe by dié totaal gevoeg. Hy het op die aanval heelwat vrae aan Menlopark se verdediging gevra. Sy stelskopwerk was van hoogstaande gehalte en die twee stelskoppe wat hy misgeskop het, was een van die kantlyn af en die ander moes hy met ’n skepdoel aandurf nadat hy nie betyds die skopkelkie ontvang het nie.

    Menlopark was slegs twee keer in die eerste helfte in Outeniqua se kwartgebied en albei kere het sy losskakel, Andell Loubser, ’n strafdoel behaal.

    Die span van Pretoria het egter tam voorgekom en sy drie wedstryde oor die Paasnaweek in Kearsney College se toernooi, het gewis baie fut uit hom geneem.

    Die Kwaggas se senter JP Duvenhage en vaskopstut, Roux Swart, het ook blink vertonings opgedis.

    Paarl-Gimnasium het die Wes-Kaapse skole se oorheersing in die skoolvakansie in dié toernooi voortgesit. Gimmies het Woensdag die gasheer met 29-10 verslaan, voordat hulle ook Garsfontein met 48-24 uit die pad gevee het.
    Die span van die Paarl se kaptein en slot, Ernst van Rhyn, het uitstekend in die lynstaan vertoon en ook in die los gewoel. Garsies se lynstaanwerk was een rede vir hul ondergang. Die wenspan se flank Johan Visser het self gewoel en ook twee keer agter die doellyn gaan draai.

    Vir Garsfontein was daar nie ’n beter speler op die veld as sy vleuel Duncan Naudé nie. Hy het elke keer verby die eerste verdediger geglip en met sy stelskopwerk was daar ook nie veel fout te vind nie.

    Waterkloof het hom teen die gekombineerde vyftiental van Nieu-Suid-Wallis van Australië met 26-21 vasgeloop. Waterkloof moes sonder sy losskakel, Willie Ludick, klaarkom. Sy agtsteman, Dylan Robinson, en vleuel Runan Venter het gewys dat hulle sterk aanspraakmakers op die Blou Bulle se Cravenweek-span is.

    Die span van Australië word saamgestel uit openbare skole in die Nieu-Suid-Wallis streek. Dié span het op die eerste dag met 55-8 teen Grey-kollege se uitnodigingspan vasgeval. Grey se span het meestal uit spelers uit sy tweede span bestaan.

    Die Hoërskool Middelburg het met 31-31 gelykop teen Grey-kollege in ’n opwindende wedstryd gespeel. Middelburg se losskakel, Chris Hanekom, en die senter Siyabonga Khaliswayo was Middelburg se sterre.
