Wow...looks like SA schools are so dominant...just a note I made some time ago...what goes wrong then in our transformation from schools to club, club to provincial, provincial to franchise and franchise to national team??? 

Paarl Gym, Grey Bloem, Outeniqua, Oakdale, Glenwood and 2 or 3 others all looking very good.

Maaikie are you taking a quick trip to Paarl to watch?

I think you would enjoy it...I always enjoy watching schools rugby...Kearsney week up the road from me and often pop in at Maritzburg College, Hilton and Michaelhouse to watch schoolboy rugby...it's really good stuff and often far more entertaining than senior rugby.

I watched the  game between Monument and Napier Boys High - very entertaining and Napier BH was leading 17-5 at halftime - playing  with a rather strong wind favouring them.     Howeve r, the wind must have helped the Monument team - hence the end result.

As I said it was a very entertaining game where the NZ Boys showed excellent ball skills and same to the Monument youngsters.   The Napier BH captain is an absolute young gentlemen and he said they are enjoying their visit to SA very much,
