For a second week in succession, the Faure Street Stadium <\/strong>is going to be abuzz with a Paarl derby, and this time it’s New Orleans<\/strong> against Klein Nederburg<\/strong>, with Saturday’s kick-off at 16:00.<\/p>\n

The teams have a decades-long rivalry which has helped the rivals to strengthen their rugby programmes through the generations.<\/p>\n

In recent years, New Orleans had become increasingly dominant in the tie. However, after five defeats in succession against their rivals, Klein Nederburg picked up a 5-0 win last year.<\/p>\n

Breaking the New Orleans spell in 2024 has only served to dish up further intrigue for this year’s showdown.<\/p>\n

Ho\u00ebrskool Swartland<\/strong> hosts\u00a0Ho\u00ebrskool Punt<\/strong> on Saturday at 13:20 in Malmesbury<\/strong>. So far this term, the hosts have lost both their Saturday games, but not by much. They went down 20-25 to Strand <\/a><\/strong>and then 20-31 to Hopefield<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0Punt, meanwhile, earned themselves a whopping 51-7 victory over Oudtshoorn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The visitors will be a serious threat in all facets of the game when they step onto the A Field<\/strong> on Saturday. They’re playing good, flowing rugby.<\/p>\n

Swartland has produced some good periods of play in their recent matches. Their goal will be to sustain those.<\/p>\n

A strong start would go a long way towards helping their cause as they chase a victory. If Punt builds up early momentum, Swartland could be in trouble.<\/p>\n

Will “third time’s a charm” be the case for Swartland this weekend?<\/p>\n
