More huge fixtures headline schoolboy rugby this weekend as the race for the season heats up.
In the Western Cape, Wynberg will want to follow up their strong wins over Bishops and Grey High when they host Paarl Gim, who are themselves on a nine-match winning streak.
Paul Roos will likewise want to capitalise on their strong form of five consecutive wins, and a thrashing of Rondebosch last week, when they host strong, but currently inconsistent Paarl Boys’ High School.
Stellenberg, not quite the school to beat after Paarl Boys’ ended their seven-match-winning streak, will want to get back to winning ways when they host Rondebosch.
The Noordvaal Cup also pits top schools against each other.
Garsfontein will want to secure victory against yet another Pretoria rival when they host Menlopark. Helpmekaar welcomes Monument in another monumentous fixture.
