The table is set for a the toughest interschools between\u00a0Ho<\/b>\u00eb<\/strong>rskool Durbanville<\/b> and the visiting Ho\u00ebrskool Outeniqua in years. <\/span><\/p>\n

Durbies have been playing some superb rugby this year, and have already done away with <\/span>Paarl Boys\u2019 High <\/b>(26-25) and\u00a0<\/span>Rondebosch Boys’ High <\/b>(35-19), only narrowly losing out against <\/span>Pretoria Boys\u2019 High <\/b>(31-35) and<\/span> Noordheuwel <\/b>(32-41) at this year\u2019s <\/span>North\/South festival<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This weekend they play an\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Outeniqua<\/b> side who have simply been a cut above the rest this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is the Kwagga\u2019s centenary year and they will be disappointed by the narrow 19-17 loss against <\/span>Grey College<\/b> last weekend in George.<\/span><\/p>\n

A wounded Kwagga is dangerous though, and the visiting team will be looking to make another statement on Saturday with a return to winning ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

The game kicks off at 13:20 in Durbanville and the home crowd will be out in full support of their team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kwagga wingers,<\/span> JJ Daters <\/b>and <\/span>Keenan Jantjies<\/b> have been phenomenal this year, but they face a Durbanville backline who are no slouches themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shaun Klein<\/b> (flyhalf) and <\/span>James Nero <\/b>(centre) have stood out for the Durbies in the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

Between these two teams, we are sure to see some tries for the highlight reels on Saturday, but the game will be determined by the competition up front.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Outeniqua\u2019s forwards played exceptionally to match Grey\u2019s physicality last weekend, if they are able to bring the same intensity Durbanville may have some trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is also possible, of course, that such an epic encounter last weekend has depleted the travelling pack, leaving them vulnerable for Durbanville to pull off another famous victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are some other big matches also being played in the Western Cape this weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stellenberg <\/b>play host to <\/span>Wynberg Boys\u2019 High <\/b>at 16:30 on Friday evening. The Stellenberg boys have been competing at the highest level this year, narrowly missing out with five points or less against <\/span>Grey High School<\/b>, <\/span>Paarl Gimnasium <\/b>and <\/span>Garsfontein<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wynberg <\/b>started their season with four big wins but just fell short against Paarl Gim last weekend, so they will be looking to get back to winning ways as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Durbanville: <\/b>15 Valrhino Olckers, 14 Naldo Klein, 13 Shadwill Engelbrecht, 12 James Nero, 11 Cayden Louw, 10 Shaun Klein, 9 Monray Daars, 8 Jayden Nell, 7 Evert Bouwer, 6 William Goldswaine, 5 Liam Baird, 4 Jacobus Botha, 3 Anru van Rhyn, 2 Devon Strydom, 1 Wian Koen.<\/span><\/p>\n
