The southern suburbs have an exciting derby weekend to look forward to, with Bishops Diocesan College<\/strong> visiting SACS<\/strong> on the Memorial Field, while Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong> will seek to keep their incredible run of results going when they host Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Wynberg Boys’ High are yet to taste defeat this season and they’ll be eager to continue on the winning path when they tackle their rivals from Rondebosch.<\/p>\n

They convincingly dealt with Bishops last weekend, beating them 35-8 away from home, to kickstart their peninsular campaign.<\/p>\n

With dangermen like the big lock, Jaythen Orange<\/strong>, and their star flyhalf, Yaqeen Ahmed<\/strong>, enjoying a great run of form, the hosts are set up well to avenge their two losses to ‘Bosch last season.<\/p>\n

Captain Aden da Costa <\/strong>and company are the favourites, with their season so far highlighted by a win over Paarl Boys’ High in Paarl, but they’ll be aware that the Southern Suburb double-headers pay no attention to form.<\/p>\n

Both of last year’s matches produced fireworks, with Rondebosch winning the first 20-16, before sneaking a 21-20 victory in the second clash.<\/p>\n

‘Bosch heads into Saturday’s showdown off the back of two big wins, 45-13 against Melkbosstrand and 55-22 against SACS, and they have shown they possess enough firepower to topple any team.<\/p>\n

Dylan Miller<\/strong> has been spectacular at fullback, and no. 8 Collin Paul Kemp<\/strong>\u00a0has been just as destructive.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, SACS will seek to build on the potential they displayed against Paarl Gimnasium last weekend. Despite going down 10-35 to the Paarl giants, SACS impressed and led 7-0 at the break.<\/p>\n

They have, however, been plagued by injuries this season and, unfortunately, they lost their captain Seth Bradford<\/strong> to an injury again against Gim, which was his first match back after going down earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

Nic Reynolds<\/strong> has led the team with distinction in his absence, though, and will continue to do so this weekend when they welcome Bishops to the Memorial Field.<\/p>\n

The Bishops boys will be eager to return to winnings ways after their loss to the marauding Wynberg squad last weekend.<\/p>\n

Wholesale changes to the forward pack brings a new-look Bishops to the fore on Saturday. Alex Smith<\/strong> moves from flanker to lock, and Daniel van den Heever<\/strong> (hooker), Andrew Levett<\/strong> (prop), Josh Macdonald<\/strong> (flanker) and Imma Magongwa<\/strong> (flanker) all get a start after not featuring in the run-on XV last weekend.<\/p>\n
