Jeppe welcome Klofies

Jeppe have had a miserable season thus far. The school suffered 11 defeats in 16 matches. One noticeable defeat is the 0-64 loss against Helpmekaar College back in March.

Jeppe managed to produce a victory against Northwood High School, however, it was followed by six consecutive defeats.

The schools failed to make an appearance on the Schools Top 20 this season.

The hosts only faced five sides ranked in the Top 20, and the lack of Top 20 oppennts could be costly for their clash against Waterkloof, currently ranked fifth on the Top 20.

On the other side of the spectrum, Waterkloof are oozing with confidence especially after their recent phenomenal performance at this year's King Edward VII School Easter Festival.

Not only that, the Pretoria-based school have been in good form. They played 17 matches which include nine sides ranked in the Top 20. They managed to beat four Top 20 sides, which include Hoerskool Outeniqua, Stellenberg High Schools, Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies), and Helpmekaar College.

With the return of provincial players, the fixtures could produce spectacular rugby come Saturday .
