Ho\u00ebrskool Durbanville<\/strong> hosts Outeniqua<\/strong> on Saturday at 12:50. Two Saturdays ago, Durbanville defeated Brackenfell 45-21<\/a><\/strong>, but they’ll be in for a stiffer challenge from the Kwaggas<\/strong><\/em> this weekend.<\/p>\n

The George<\/strong> school will be full of confidence after overrunning Worcester Gimnasium 45-13<\/strong><\/a> in their most recent outing, thanks to their forward dominance.<\/p>\n

To counter the visitors, Durbies<\/strong><\/em> will look to their work-horse flanks, Zay-Winn Januarie<\/strong> and Ethan Swartz<\/strong>, to disrupt the opposition attack by making a nuisance of themselves at the breakdowns. Both are also strong ball carriers and scored two each against Brackenfell.<\/p>\n

The Kwaggas have a silky-smooth attack. Flyhalf Virgil Pockpas<\/strong> is equally dangerous with the ball in hand and with his boot. He has a deep range of moves which he’ll use to search for cracks in the home side’s defence.<\/p>\n

His fellow halfback, scrumhalf Cee-Jay Arends<\/strong>, also knows a thing or two about getting his teammates over the try-line.<\/p>\n

Both sides like to play at speed and a game filled with exciting tries would not be a surprise.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile In Somerset West<\/strong>, Parel Vallei (PV)<\/strong> takes on the challenge of Melkbosstrand<\/strong> at 12:30. Last weekend, the Bulldogs<\/strong><\/em> were outplayed at home, going<\/strong> down 13-59 to Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Melkbosstrand won last weekend, scoring a 44-29 win over Tygerberg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

PV<\/strong> is a side on the up, and they will have taken lessons from their Wynberg game in which they trailed only 13-21 at halftime. Melkbosstrand will need to be wary of the backlash the local boys will be focused on dishing out.<\/p>\n

The visitors have an athletic backline, with plenty of pace, but they’ll need their forwards to supply good quality ball.<\/p>\n

In short, Parel Vallei is in for another tough challenge this weekend. It’s an opportunity, though, for them to show off their evolution. Will they have to learn further lessons, or will they take another step forward?<\/p>\n
