It was another big weekend of schools rugby with many sides now back in action ahead of tours and tournaments taking place during the March/April school holidays.
Down in the Cape, Paul Roos got the better of Affies 45-28, Paarl Gim, who were shocked the week before by Stellenberg, won 45-12 away to Durbanville, while Paarl Boys High edged Outeniqua 26-22.
Stellenberg from Durbanville look like a side to keep an eye on this season. They also hammered Worcester Gim 78-0 at the weekend, to go with their victory over Paarl Gim last week.
In KZN, Kearsney beat Glenwood 18-10, while Westville beat Maritzburg College 26-10.
In Gauteng, Noordheuwel, one of the surprise packages last season, fell 3-41 at home to Garsfontein, KES beat St John’s 36-12 and Pretoria Boys High beat St Stithians 31-24 in Sandton.
The big match in Bloemfontein saw Grey College get the better of Monument 31-15.
