Any more on the overage Glenwood – DHS schoolboy scandal, or are these players just going straight to open age group at GOB and DHSOB next year?

Well done Paarl schools ! And JDV (Paarl Gim) has just been named Bok Captain. Paarl and Grey Bloem are the best rugby nurseries in the country ! FACT

@brains_trust(brains_trust)-2: Frightening but I have heard that these team’s representation in Craven, SA schools might be rationed for transformation…

Imagine a combined team between Boishaai and Gim – they wld beat the SA schools team. Hell the Gim FHalf, Pollard is already playing for the baby boks. The Boishaai forward pack is immense and their scrumhalf is in a class of his own (4 tries against Bishops)… Looking good for WP if the union can afford to keep these guys

@Bismarck Burger(Bismarck Burger)-4: Something similar happened last year, and the WP Craven week team scked for the first time in years. In fact, it wasn’t so much transformation as what it was Paul Roos filling up most of the spots when they were kuk the whole season.
@brains_trust(brains_trust)-5: That Boishaai prop, holy mackerel I think his name is Wesley something?
Have your say
