Menlo take on Klofies
It is a great match every year between two strong rugby schools in Pretoria.
This year Klofies have been doing really well, currently ranked eighth on the Schools Top 20, and Menlo have had noteworthy successes.
Menlo have won six of their 11 matches, Waterkloof nine of their 4. Waterkloof last week beat Affies 24-15, a big emotional win for them.
That means they may lift themselves again for a match, theoretically easier but open to the whole public.
The only opponents the two schools have in common so far this year are Outeniqua. Menlo beat them 49-30, Klofies 34-15 – both by 19 points.
