Bureoorlog in Pretoria

On Saturday, starting before breakfast it seems, 23 Affies teams will trudge across the road to play neighbours Pretoria Boys High, as they do every year.

And don’t you love Pretoria Boys High? Affies have won the last 12 matches but still they play on – all 23 teams. Last year all 23 teams lost, but still they play on with enthusiasm.

23 matches. That means some 700 boys will have a chance to play rugby near Loftus Versfeld on Saturday. And there will be staff members of the two schools and parents and friends – a wonderful social occasion in old Pretoria.

Season So Far

Affies have, yet again, been having an excellent season and are eighth on the Schools Top 20.

They have played 14 matches, including seven against other Top 20 sides, including those ranked one, two and three. Of their 14 matches Affies have won eight, drawn one and lost five.
Pretoria Boys High have played 12, winning and losing six. KES are the only Top 20 team they have played.
