One of Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong>‘s strengths this season has been the rolling maul, and they used it effectively to defeat Bishops 38-20<\/strong><\/a> in a southern suburbs derby last weekend.<\/p>\n

Grey High’s last outing was on 27 April, when they beat Glenwood High 34-12 <\/strong><\/a>in Gqeberha. That means Saturday’s match against Wynberg will be their first in three weeks. They’re well rested, but they might be a bit rusty.<\/p>\n

Last May, in a fantastic clash in Gqeberha, Wynberg won 32-27<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Cape Town school has been a bogey side for Grey High. The Eastern Cape boys last won in 2017, taking that game 40-30.<\/p>\n

Since then, they’ve mustered draws in 2019 (27-27) and 2024 (10-10), but Wynberg has recorded wins in their other meetings, in 2018 (36-33), 2022 (18-16), and 2023 (35-8).<\/p>\n

Based on both sides’ form this season, it should be a tight contest. Wynberg has won five and lost three, while Grey High has five wins and two losses on its record.<\/p>\n

Wynberg flyhalf Achmat Behardien<\/strong> and inside centre Luke Gertze<\/strong>, who sometimes plays flyhalf, will have key roles to play for the home side. They are both creative players, able to make the backline sing with their inventive play.<\/p>\n

Hooker, Ridah Johnson<\/strong>, is deadly off the back of the rolling maul, as is Naeem Mohammed, <\/strong>who packs down at both hooker and flank.<\/p>\n

The visitors’ captain and inside centre Ciaran Killian<\/strong> is a line-breaking threat with his clever running lines. The Wynberg midfield will need to keep a close eye on him if they are to limit Grey’s try-scoring opportunities.<\/p>\n

Blindside flank Blake Parker<\/strong> returns to the Grey High lineup, boosting the Gqeberha boys with another try-scoring threat.<\/p>\n

Wynberg may have the advantage at lineout time, but will need to defend tightly in open play if they want to ensure a win at home.<\/p>\n
