\"\"Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong> look to follow up their last-minute 20-16 victory over their rivals Wynberg Boys’ High last weekend when they face a wounded Paarl Boys’ High<\/strong> team this weekend.<\/p>\n

Boishaai also managed to beat Wynberg (33-29) they met two weeks ago, saving the win with a try in the final play, but the Paarl team had to bend the knee to Paul Roos Gimnasium last weekend (35-17), losing to their rivals from Stellenbosch at home for the first time in 20 years.<\/p>\n

The visitors are definitely the stronger side on paper, having put in some really impressive performances already this season.<\/p>\n

They’ve been the standout team at a number of festivals this year, winning both games at the North\/South<\/strong> in Pretoria against Jeppe (43-21) and the hosts, Affies (36-19), coming out on top in all three games at the KES Easter Festival<\/strong> against Selborne (48-5), Northwood (29-7) and the hosts, King Edward VII (10-8) and beating Glenwood (35-13) and Helpmekaar (15-10) at the Absa Wildeklawer<\/strong> festival in Kimberley.<\/p>\n

This intense schedule has seen the juggernaut from Paarl trip up a couple of times though, as Ho\u00ebrskool Durbanville beat them 26-25 at the beginning of the season, Oakdale Landbou got the better of them with 20-17 on the farm, and then they lost out, despite a valiant effort, against Grey College, 39-30.<\/p>\n

This last defeat against Paul Roos will have been tough to swallow, and Rondebosch needs to be wary of Boishaai using this game to make a statement.<\/p>\n

Rondebosch have already proven that they can hold their own this season though, and it was only last year when they upset Boishaai in Paarl, winning 21-19.<\/p>\n

The home team are unfortunately without the services of their captain, Polite Phiri<\/strong> (flanker), Alutha Wesi<\/strong> moves from centre to cover his position at the side of the scrum. Matthew Malherbe<\/strong> comes in at centre.<\/p>\n

The visitors have also been forced to make a couple of changes, while their dangerous backline remains intact from the previous weekend, Divan Fuller<\/strong> moves to the back of the scrum in the place of Douw Wessels<\/strong>, covering the no. 8 position, while Chris Nel<\/strong> starts at flanker.<\/p>\n

Their big prop Alfie Holm<\/strong> also moves to loosehead and Evan Kotze<\/strong> (prop) and Dewald Scheepers<\/strong> (hooker) replace Michael Pretorius<\/strong> and HB Odendaal<\/strong> to complete the front row.<\/p>\n

Stellenberg<\/strong> have had a tough season so far, but they’ve shown glimpses of their potential in games like the victories over Maritzburg (36-24) and Helpmekaar (22-20) and will hope to find some form when they take on Parel Vallei<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Their captain and stalwart flanker, Damon Pereira<\/strong>, has unfortunately been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.<\/p>\n

Alex Schoeman<\/strong> takes his place on the side of the scrum this weekend and Corn\u00e9 Bruwer<\/strong> (lock) takes over the captain’s responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Parel Vallei are also in desperate need of another win though, having had a tough season themselves, despite an impressive performance against Frikkie Meyer at the Rolyn Bergsig tournament<\/strong> in Rustenburg, where they managed to secure a 15-all draw against the team from Thabazimbi.<\/p>\n
