SA Schools Announced

By Online Editors
Friday 20 Jul 2018

The 30 players have been announced to represent SA Schools in an international series with England, Wales and France next month.

The matches will be played at Boland Landbou (10 August), Stellenberg (14 August) and SACS (18 August.

The team includes three players who played for SA Schools in 2017 – Adrian Alberts, Banele Mthenjane and Celimpilo Gumede. But two of the SA Schools team of 2017 did not make it this year – Morné Brandon and Diego Appollis.

One of the players, Emile van Heerden who is the son of Springbok Fritz van Heerden, was chosen from the undefeated Western Province XV, the second Western Province team at Craven Week.

Brendan Venter is in the team – the son of Springbok and rugby guru Brendan Venter who was picked for SA Schools in 1987,  when Craven Week was also in Paarl.

Western Province with 10 players and Border with six make up just over half of the team. Other provinces represented are Sharks (4), Free State (3), Blue Bulls and Golden Lions (two each), and Boland, Griffons and Pumas (one each).

With five players in the team Selborne College is best represented, followed by Paul Roos with four.

The team gathers in Stellenbosch with coach Sean Erasmus to prepare for the series. A captain will then be named.
