The Festival will be held from 30 March until 3 April in Pietermaritzburg.<\/p>\n
Maritzburg College has produced Springbok Players like Joel Stransky, Jeremy Thompson, Butch James, Bill Payn, Bertram van der Plank, Phil Nel, Keith Oxlee, Ormond Taylor, Andy van der Watt and Peter Grant. The school has a knack for producing flyhalves of high quality. Both players who wore the number 10 jumper in the World Cup Final in the Springbok triumphs of 1995 (Joel Stransky) and 2007 (Butch James) are Old Boys. The last three Springboks produced Stransky, James and Peter Grant is all flyhalves.<\/p>\n
Ten schools from around the country will attend the Festival. The attendees are Noord-Kaap (Kimberley), Jeppe Boys\u2019 High (Johannesburg), Dale College (Kings William\u2019s Town), Monument (Krugersdorp), Rondebosch Boys\u2019 High (Cape Town), Durban High School, Grey Boys\u2019 High School (Port Elizabeth), Affies (Pretoria) Queen\u2019s College (Queenstown) and hosts Maritzburg College. It is interesting that Grey College of Bloemfontein haven\u2019t opted to rather attend Maritzburg College\u2019s Festival than Kearsney College\u2019s Easter Festival. Monument, Dale College and Affies all opted to support Maritzburg College in their milestone year after attending Kearsney College\u2019s Festival previously.<\/p>\n
