Craven Week Venues
Third for Jo'burg
This year's Craven Week will be the third held in Johannesburg. Its centre of activities will be the University of Johannesburg, where the old RAU used to play its rugby.
The first in Johannesburg was in 1974 and from it the first-ever South African Schools team was chosen.
This week again, people will be looking for talent.
Have you heard about Cecil Afrika of the Griffons? You may well know his name really well by the end of the week.
