Sanele Simelane<\/strong> and the Jeppe High School for Boys’<\/strong> backline had a day out to remember on Saturday in Krugersdorp.<\/p>\n

Simelane and his backline colleagues set the Ras van Rooyen Field alight as the visitors from Johannesburg ran in seven tries to beat Ho\u00ebrskool Monument’s<\/strong> Wit Bulle 47-31.<\/p>\n

The Jeppe captain, Kuthadzo Rasivhaga<\/strong>, playing in his preferred position, at outside centre, showed why the selectors gave him the green light for the SA Schools side.<\/p>\n

His attacking prowess and outstanding ability to attack the space had the Monnas’ defenders guessing most of the match.<\/p>\n

With Rasivhaga running riot, Simelane shone by linking up with his captain numerous times to cut through the home sides’ defences, as the Wit Bulle were stretched from side to side.<\/p>\n

Flyhalf Matthew Coetzee<\/strong> pulled the strings nicely from behind a pack on the front foot, delivering the high-quality ball the two dangermen at the back needed. Coetzee also put on a kicking show, slotting a couple of difficult conversions from the touchline.<\/p>\n

The question of whether or not Jeppe could handle the massive Monnas’ pack was answered loudly by vice-captain and eighthman, Risima Khosa<\/strong>, and, especially, by lock Luke Cannon<\/strong>. The second rower, a talented cricketer, “cannoned” into a couple of hits and bowled over the Wit Bulle.<\/p>\n

The home side’s captain and massive second rower, Jacques Botha<\/strong>, had, arguably, his best outing of the year thus far. He made every run count, gaining valuable metres on several occasions.<\/p>\n

He also ran superb support lines, which led to him crossing the whitewash twice. Monument hooker, Keenan Myners<\/strong>, also put in a valiant effort. He was a menace in the rucks and contributed a major shift on defence.<\/p>\n

However, the continuous and fluent attack from the visitors was a bridge too far for a tiring Monument side to cross as Jeppe showed that they have the ability to beat anyone on any given day.<\/p>\n
