2024 School Rugby

Yeetyaah

@Mauss thanks mate it was a hell of a game. I also ran on at the end and one of the boys jumped up on me.

Yeetyaah

Worth noting all of the New Zealand teams are undefeated so far. Kelston smoked Zambezi 50-3 I think and Westlake beat Llandovery 21-5.

Yeetyaah

My boys went down 30-21 against Dubai English Speaking School. If anyone watched you would have seen the comeback we mounted in the second half but wasn't enough to get it done.

Paul Roos vs Kelson final

OomPB

Paul Roos is SA nr 1 rank and went unbeaten this year. This group is u17 and building for next year. Keenan Stoffels is a player to watch.

Finals Highlights -

Bovidae

Well done Kelston.

I have yet to watch the final but did see the last pool games from Westlake and Kelston. Both made a lot of unforced errors (dropped balls, forward passes etc).

Frank

The great, unbeatable Paul Roos side lose.
NZ school side wins again.

I thought SA teams were unbeatable ????

@Frank probably thier 3rd 15 and thier u14 team too...that's the gist I get from Social media anyway.

Seriously though, good work by the Kiwi teams.

Bovidae

The same excuses as previous years. The NZ school year has finished too, and they still send Y13s. Kelston did have a Y10 (~14 yr old) on the wing and were missing their no.1 hooker, Xavier Leota, who is probably the best in NZ.

Frank

What are the rankings of Kelston and Paul Roos within NZ and South Africa?

Is Kelston NZ's best school?
Is Paul Roos SA's best school?

Kelston BHS made the Top 4 as the Blues representative but lost their SF to Nelson College and the 3rd/4th game to Feilding HS. So 4th based on those results. Westlake BHS would be in the 6th-10th range.

Frank

So our 4th ranked side beat Paul Roos - who are what ranking in SA?
