Griekwas het sy kragmeting teen OP-platteland met 42-20 op die tweede dag van die Coca-Cola Cravenweek vir hoërskole gewen. Die span se flank, Leonard Barnard, het vir twee drieë oorgebars. 

Die Poubloues het reeds in die eerste helfte beheer van die kragmeting geneem deur ‘n voortou van 25-8 in te neem. Die heealgter van OP-platteland, Claude Jacobs, het ‘n uitstekende drie gedruk na ‘n lynskop van die Griekwa-losskakel, Charles Williams, nie die kantlyn gevind het nie.

Die Luiperds het Zimbabwe met 72-17 op die tweede dag van die 54ste Cravenweek vir hoërskole in Johannesburg afgeslag.

Die span se heelagter, Bertru Jones, het drie van sy span se 11 drieë afgerond. Jones is ‘n speler wat nog vir homself ‘n naam in Suid-Afrikaanse rugby kan maak. 

Die span se losskakel, Hanru van Rooyen, het 27 van sy span se punte in die wegholsege aangeteken. Van Rooyen het twee van sy span se drieë gedruk, met sewe doelskoppe geslaag en ook ‘n strafdoel tussen deur die pale gejaag. 

Zimbabwe se linkervleuel, Tafadziswa Bunu, is in die tweede helfte met ‘n rooikaart van die veld gejaag na ‘n boorvat en hy reeds in die eerste helfte ‘n geelkaart van die skeidsregter, Johre Botha, ontvang het. 

Namibië het met opwindende harldooprugby vanuit die boonste in die tweede van sy wedstryd teen die Valke sy teenstanders van die veld afgespeel. Die Biltongboere het die wedstryd met 52-36 gewen na hy teen rustyd met die telling op 19-31 met sy rug teen die muur was. 

Namibië se flank Gilad Plaatjies het ‘n driekuns aan drieë behaal. Vir die Valke het sy skrumskakel, Ruben Beytell, soos gewoontlik ‘n hele paar verdedigers geflous en twee keer die doellyn oorgesteek. Die verloorspan se flank, Thabo Ndimande het ook dubbelle driedruk-plesier ervaar.

Die Vrystaat het behoorlik makietie op die eerste dag van die toernooi gehou deur die Boland met 81-26 kaf te draf om die unie se 100ste sege sedert die ontstaan van die Coca-Cola Cravenweek vir hoërskole in 1964 te behaal. 

Die Vrystaters se buitesenter, Henk Cilliers, het vier van sy span se 12 drieë in die slagting gedruk. Die span se losskakel, Christopher Schreuder het 25 van sy span se punte via ‘n drie, nege doelskoppe en ‘n strafdoel aangeteken.

Een van die groot aanspraakmakers om later vanjaar die Suid-Afrikaanse Skole-span aan te gevoer het, Francke Horn, sal ongelukkig nie vanjaar aan die Coca-Cola Cravenweek by St Stithians College wat more begin in aksie wees nie.

Die agtsteman van Westelike Provinsie moes hom aan die toernooi onttrek na hy met die Parvo-virus B19 gediagnoseer is.
“Ek het moeg gevoel na slegs ‘n paar minute se oefening en ‘n steekpyn in my bors gehad,” het Horn gesê oor hoe hy besef het dat daar dalk iets fout is. Drie van sy hartkamers is vergroot, maar hy moet slegs tussen ses weke en twee maande rus om volkome te herstel.

Horn wat ook land se voorste skolespan die Hoër Jongenskool Paarl aanvoer sal die res van die seisoen as ‘n toeskouer op die paviljoen deurbring. Hy sal dus nie vanjaar vir die SA Skole-span oorweeg kan word nie en ook die grootste interskole ter wêreld vir sy skoolspan teen Paarl Gimnasium misloop.

Horn het reeds ‘n kontrak met die Westelike Provinsie gesluit om sy loopbaan volgende jaar in Kaapstad voort te sit. Horn was verlede jaar op die Akademie-week in aksie en het vyf keer die doellyn in sy span se drie wedstryde oorgesteek.

Horn is die oudste seun van Francois Horn wat steeds die record hou vir die meeste punte in ‘n seisoen vir Boland wat hy gedurende die 1996-seisoen opgestel het.

School of Rugby het besluit of soos verlede jaar weer ‘n SA Skole-span te kies. Horn was voor sy onttrekking ons kaptein, maar Grey-kollege se senter en hoofseun, Rikus Pretorius, sal ons span lei.

Spelers wat reeds verlede jaar vir die nasionale span in aksie was en vanjaar weer vir dié span behoort uit te draf is Muller du Plessis (heelagter) en Pretorius. Pretorius het reeds belsuit om sy loopbaan volgende jaar ook by WP voort te sit.

Du Plessis het een van die grootste kontrakte vir juniors vanjaar aanvaar. Hy sal glo R480 000 volgende jaar by die Sharks verdien.

Die SA Skole-keurders sal soos die afgelope paar jaar ‘n SA Skole sowel as ‘n SA Skole A-span kies vanuit die Craven- en Akademie-weke. Die keurders hou die spelers van die begin van die seisoen af dop, maar sal vanjaar ‘n veel moeiliker taak hê om op sy uitsoekgroep van 26 spelers te besluit. 

Die twee spanne sal in Augustus weer teen Engeland, Frankryk en Wallis se o.19-spanne uitdraf.

School of Rugby se SA Skole-span:

Voorspelers: Pepsi Buthelezi (KZN), Philip Potgieter (Blou Bulle), Mark Snyman (Leeus), Bongumenzi Dlamini (Pumas), Dylan Kruger (KZN), JJ van der Mescht (KZN), Adrian Alberts (WP), Stephan le Roux, Keagan Glade, Asenathi Ntlabakanye (albei Leeus) James Combrinck (Blou Bulle), Joshua du Preez (WP), Morné Brandon (Leeus), Joshua Muller (WP).

Agterspelers: Muller du Plessis (WP), Andrew Kota (Griffons), Thaakier Abrahams (WP), Sebastiaan Jobb (GW-platteland), Kennedy Mpeku (Leeus), Diego Appollis (Blou Bulle), Marnus Potgieter (Blou Bulle), Rikus Pretorius, Christopher Schreuder (albei Vrystaat), David Coetzer (Grens), Sanele Nohamba (KwaZulu-Natal), Romeo Eksteen (Boland).

Kan daar vanjaar weer ‘n dubbeldoor wees?

Verlede jaar het die Blou Bulle se losskakel, Ruan de Swardt, die eerste sportman sedert Adrian Penzhorn in 2002 geword om hom by ‘n uitgelese groep sportmanne aan te sluit wat SA Skole-klere in rugby sowel as krieket verwerf het.
Daar is vanjaar ‘n sterk aanspraakmaker in die Vrystaat se losskakel, Christoper Schreuder, om ook sy naam by dié uitgelese groep van 12 sportmanne te voeg.

Schreuder was verlede jaar met 369 lopies die voorste lopiemaker op die Khaya Majola-krieketweek. Dit het twee honderdtalle teen onderskeidelik Oostelike Provinsie (134) en KwaZulu-Natal Binneland (126*) ingesluit.

Schreuder was ook verlede jaar in Durban die voorste puntemaker op die nasionale Akademie-week met 55 punte. Dis dalk net toeval maar De Swardt was die vorige jaar in Vanderbijlpark met 57 punte die voorste puntemaker van die Akademie-week.
Schreuder se skakelmaat, Ross Braude (Grey-kollege), is die neef van die SA Skole-kaptein en skrumskakel van 2009, Pieter Rademan.

Gepraat van krieketspelers, Grens het twee spelers in sy geledere wat al die Suid-Afrika se o.19-span op die krieketveld diens gedoen het. Hulle is die binnesenter, Sinethemba Qeshile, en heelagter, Jason Raubenheimer. Raubenheimer sal volgende jaar sy rugbyloopbaan by die Sharks voortsit.

Die Westelike Provinsie se haker, Chris Rossouw (Paarl Gimnasium), se pa met dieselfde naam was ‘n lid van die Springbok-span wat in 1995 as wêreldkampioen gekroon is. Rossouw sr. het in 1987 vanuit Hugenote in Springs die SA Skole-span gehaal.

Die Streeptruie se heelagter, Muller du Plessis (Paarl Gimnasium), het verlede jaar reeds die nasionale skolespan op vleuel verteenwoordig. Die haastige speller wat die 100m al vinniger as 10.6 sekondes afgenael het oefen slegs met rekke en nie gewigte nie.

Du Plessis se pa, Charl (Kroontad Landbou, 1978) en broer, JP (2009), het ook op hul dag die SA Skole-span verteenwoordig. Charl het ook vir Transvaal se seniorspan gespeel, terwyl JP ook vir die Cheetahs en Kings op seniorvlak verteenwoordig het.

KwaZulu-Natal se senter Rynardt Jonker is die seun van die voormalige internasionale skeidsregter, Marius Jonker. Marius het in sy loopbaan 25 toetswedstryde hanteer.

Die Goue Leeus se haker, Morné Brandon, sal nie in sy span se eerste wedstryd teen Grens in aksie wees nie. Brandon was Saterdag in die eindronde van die diskus op die Wêreld-Jeugkampioenskap in Nairobi, Kenia vir Suid-Afrika in aksie.

Die nasionale Akademie-week vind ook van more op die velde van St Stithians College plaas. Die Westelike Provinsie behoort sy oorheersing van dié toernooi in die Goudstad voort te sit.

Die Streeptruie is die afgelope drie toernooie as die nie-amptelike kampioen gekroon en was in die afgelope tien jaar slegs twee keer aan die verloorkant in 30 wedstryde. In die dekade was die span agt keer in die hoofwedstryd van die week in aksie en het slegs in 2010 met Boland (25-elk) die louere gedeel.

Die Cravenweek-bepalings is:

More: 08:30 – Griffons t. Griekwa-platteland; 10:05 – Limpopo Blou Bulle t. Grens-platteland; 11:35 – Vrystaat t. Boland; 13:15 – Westelike Provinsie t. Pumas; 15:30 – Goue Leeus t. Grens:

It was a rewarding day for DHL Western Province in the U13 Coca-Cola Craven Week and U16 Coca-Cola Grant Khomo Week at Grey College in Bloemfontein on Friday as both teams won the final matches in their respective SA Rugby Youth Weeks in style.
The U13 Coca-Cola Craven Week team earned top honours in the competition for the fifth season in a row as they defeated Eastern Province 28-0, while the U16 Coca-Cola Grant Khomo Week team beat SWD 38-10.

The Western Province U13 team got their match off to a flying start against Eastern Province as they retained possession and applied pressure on attack, which earned them two early tries. Eastern Province tried hard to make a breakthrough, but the Cape side’s solid defence held them out. Another well-timed try by Western Province before halftime extended their lead to 21-0.

The Cape side continued their fine form in the second half and did well to sneak through the gaps in the Eastern Province defence, which earned them another try to take a 28-0 lead. Eastern Province tightened up the defence as the game progressed, but while this proved to be effective in denying Western Province from adding to their score, they were still unable to make their presence on attack.

The DHL Western Province U16 team, meanwhile, snuck through the gaps in the SWD defence to score six tries to only two by the George side. The forward packs were evenly matched and they delivered solid possession for the backs, but the difference between the sides was the Cape side’s ability to convert half chances into points.

DHL Western Province struck first with a try in the opening minutes of the game and they added another later in the half, while SWD earned only one converted try, which handed the Capetonians a 12-5 halftime lead.

SWD struck back immediately after the break to reduce the deficit to 12-10, but four more well-worked tries by the Cape side allowed them to secure an emphatic 38-10 victory.

In the other U16 Coca-Cola Grant Khomo Week matches KZN pipped the Bidvest Waltons Golden Lions 32-29, Namibia outplayed Old Mutual Zimbabwe 59-19, the Itec Blue Bulls defeated Boland 43-32, the Western Province XV registered a 60-26 victory against the Free State XV, the Leopards defeated Border CD 46-3, Free State beat Border 38-20, Eastern Province went down 36-20 against the Valke and the Griffons beat the Limpopo Blue Bulls 29-19.

In the U13 Coca-Cola Craven Week, Boland and SWD played to a 17-17 draw, the Itec Valke drew 24-24 with KZN, while the Pumas registered a comprehensive 106-0 win against Border CD, Namibia defeated the Griffons 27-20, Old Mutual Zimbabwe went down 21-37 against Xerox Griquas, the Itec Blue Bulls beat the Bidvest Waltons Golden Lions 26-17, Border pipped the Forever Resorts Limpopo Blue Bulls 31-29 and the Leopards beat the Free State 20-19.
U16 Coca-Cola Grant Khomo Week

A try in the dying minutes allowed KZN to snatch a 32-29 victory against the Bidvest Walton Golden Lions in a gripping match. The Johannesburg side led for most of the match and held a narrow 19-15 halftime lead. They increased their tally to 29 points in the second half, but two tries late in the game by the Durban side – one of which was scored on the stroke of full-time – guided KZN to victory.

Hosts, the Free State, also gave their fans something to smile about as they defeated Border 38-20 thanks to a solid performance in which they scored six tries. Border, who were 24-10 down at halftime, fought back in the second half and managed to increase their try tally to four, but this was not enough to stop the home team, who also added two converted tries to their score.

The Valke’s forwards, meanwhile, laid a solid foundation to power the side to a 36-20 victory against Eastern Province. The Valke started the clash well and built up a 19-7 lead, and they built on this in the second half, which earned them five tries to only two by Eastern Province.

In their traditional international clash, Namibia delivered a solid performance all-around to cruise to a 59-19 victory against Old Mutual Zimbabwe. Such was the high quality of Namibia’s attack they built up an encouraging 31-5 victory at the break and then built on this to touch down a notable nine times in total, while they limited their African neighbours to 19 points.

The Itec Blue Bulls also stamped their authority against Boland as they held their nerve following a tight first half to break away with six tries to only four by the Western Cape side for a 43-32 victory. Itec Blue Bulls scrumhalf Jurie Claasens, in particular, had a memorable game as he scored two tries, four conversions and a penalty goal for a personal tally of 21 points.

The Leopards also finished the tournament on a high note as their effective display on attack and defence steered them to a 46-3 victory against Border CD, thanks to a rewarding eight tries. The Eastern Cape side struggled to make their presence felt and were only able to score a penalty goal for their efforts.

Western Province XV showed good form in their clash against the Free State XV to register a rewarding 60-26 victory thanks to an impressive 10 tries. The Cape side led 26-5 at the break, but they gathered momentum in the second half and ran riot on attack.

Griquas, meanwhile, overcame a hard-fought first half against the Pumas in which the teams were level on 12-12 to secure a 24-12 victory. Griquas tightened up their defence in the second half and denied the Mpumalanga outfit from adding to their score, while they continued to use their chances on attack, which allowed them to cross the try line an impressive four times.

The Griffons, meanwhile, outscored the Forever Resorts Limpopo Blue Bulls five tries to three for their 29-19 victory after holding a narrow five-point lead at the break.

U13 Coca-Cola Craven Week

The clash between Border and SWD was thrilling as the teams gave everything on attack and defence, which resulted in a competitive match that ended in a draw. The sides were level at 10-10 for most of the game before SWD broke through to score a converted try. But this was cancelled out in the dying minutes as Boland forced their way through to the tryline for a 17-17 draw.

The Itec Valke and KZN also played to a 24-24 draw, as the Kempton Park side staged a second-half comeback from 12-19 down to match the Durban side’s four tries. Itec Valke, lock Aiden Smith and winger Happy Nhlapo each scored a brace to allow the team to draw the match.

In another nail-biting encounter, Border pipped Forever Resorts Limpopo Blue Bulls 31-29 with three conversions to two by the Limpopo side being the difference on the scoreboard. Border took an encouraging 19-5 lead at the break, but the opposition hit back strongly in the second half, while Border continued to show their determination on attack. The result was that both teams finished the match with five tries. The match was particularly special for Border winger Mihle Matinise, who finished the tournament with a hat-trick.

The Leopards, meanwhile, pipped the Free State 20-19 as they out-scored the hosts four tries to three. Free State started the match well and built up a 14-5 lead, but the Leopards fought back with intent to score three tries to only one by the hosts, which sealed the victory.

Namibia’s goal-kicking sealed their 27-20 victory against the Griffons, as their penalty goal and two conversions proved to be the difference on the scoreboard. The Griffons led 10-5 at the break, and they added another two tries in the second half, but they were unable to convert any of them. In turn, Namibia slotted over three kicks to add to their four tries.

The Pumas, meanwhile, earned the biggest winning margin in the tournament as they outplayed Border CD 106-0 after running in a notable 18 tries. Lock Divan Venter scored a hat-trick with four players scoring two tries in the match.

The Xerox Griquas, meanwhile, overcame a tight first half against Old Mutual Zimbabwe in which they led 15-7 at the break to register a 37-21 victory, as they outscored Zimbabwe seven tries to three.

The Itec Blue Bulls and Bidvest Waltons Golden Lions were involved in a tight tussle, but the Pretoria side’s four tries to only three by their neighbours allowed them to seal their 26-17 victory.

The SA Rugby Youth Weeks series will continue next week at St Stithians College in Johannesburg where the U18 Coca-Cola Craven Week and Coca-Cola Academy Week will be hosted.

Western Province’s u13-side extended their unbeaten run to 19 games on the trot in the main match of the third day of the Coca-Cola Craven Week with a convincing victory of 31-5 over the Golden Lions. Western Province will play in the main match of the tournament tomorrow against Eastern Province. 

Eastern Province booked their place in the main game by outplaying the Blue Bulls by 29-17.
