Kwaggadag!
Next year it will be the Kwaggas' turn to go over the Pass and then it will be Struisiesdag.
It is a keen derby but one which the Kwaggas have usually won. The Struisies won last in 2010 and then 16 years before that.
If this season's results are anything to go by, Outeniqua look too strong again.
