Grey March to Pretoria
Coming together like this suits both schools, for they can then get matches for all their teams and not just at rugby. They started playing each other in 1953 and Grey have won most, but in the last six years, Affies have won four to Grey's two.
Season So Far
Currently Grey are second on the Top 20, Affies 10th.
Grey are unbeaten in nine matches. Affies have lost five out of nine matches, three of them to South African schools – Paarl Gim, Paarl Boys' High and Glenwood, all teams ranked above them.
Results against Common Opponents
They have so far only two opponents in common – Hartpury College of Gloucester and Paarl Boys' High.
Hartpury College: Affies lost, 26-15; Grey won 60-0
Paarl Boys' High: Affies lost 19-14; Grey won 34-20
