Howcome Affies doesn’t play in the Beeld trophy for Macro schools, whatever that means?
Or did they fall out before the finals?

Grey College make these rankings look as stupid as Woods make the ATP rankings.

Rondebosch – Bishops is a large game!
Come on Bishops.

Wynberg has their best side in ages. Good on them. Bishops have lost the plot faster than the Days of Our Lives. Need to quiten the Bosch up. I’m willing to bet that you can count the amount of times Grey has lost in the last 10 years, on both sets of fingers.

#6 BishopsOD: Ya Wynberg are a very good side, but in one of the few times we played to our potential we thrashed them 34-8 on the Piley. Other than that there’s some pretty average rugby for the boys.
Bosch played well in the first game but we were shocking, and as an OD I pretty embarrased, but I reckon the boys can pull it through on Sat, if they’re very up for it.

Not so sure about these rankings. Bishops v Bosch on the weekend and I would say lower ranked Bosch should take that results. There is good interview with Bishops captain Sam Lane on http://www.saschoolsports.co.za He seems a great chap.

The rankings should start at 5 after Grey. It is wrong for a school like paarl boys to be one place behind Grey as Grey destroyed them. There is no match for Grey College in South Africa.

#2 Tacitus: Affies decided a number of years back that they won’t play in any trophy tournaments anymore.

#9 Tsudanie: 9-3 says it all! You most probably also think Grey’s second team is the second best school team in the country!

Paarl Boys’ are currently in top form and would wipe the floor with Grey if they played this week.
Have your say
