Saffex - Why did you not comment on the issue

about the Craven week and the players identified as outstanding prospects for the future? I was hoping for your comments - especially in view of your interest in future prospects of younger players.

I don't know any of the school players, they tend to make the news after school at U20 level

Saffex I was just trying to bring to your attention some youngsters you can watch out for in Under 20 Rugby next year. Briefly in the main ones are Duhan van der Merwe (wing), Danie Du Plessis (Center) and Jakkals Schickerling (Lock). Also the SA schools will play the French schools and English schools teams in August 2013. When is your son's schools visit to SA? If in August a number of Outeniqua players will be in the SA schools team and that may be some help to your son's school team.

Shameless soliciting by OOm Dictator

Mozart What is shameless about asking somebody a question? You are an old fart - you know

They arrived in SA yesterday

Saffex Hope they have a wonderful time - keep us posted on their results - if you don't mind.

Will do Mike

No, its my sons school side on tour. They played their first match today, mixed first and second side and beat Swartland Hoerskool 1sts 19-10. By all accounts Swartland are no great shakes hence the mixed side put out

Saffex Good for them. However, I do not think Swartland is one of the top 20 rugby schools in SA - so they will have a bigger fight on their hands In future. When are they playing against Outeniqua?
