Paarl meets Stellenbosch

By Paul Dobson
Friday 19 Jul 2013

Two of South Africa's top rugby schools meet in a Interschools clash in Paarl on Saturday – Paarl Boys' High and Paul Roos Gymnasium of Stellenbosch.

They are great schools, nurseries of Springboks and many other top players. And still great players come from them.

Both are in the Top 20 – Paarl Boys' High fifth, Paul Roos, who had an erratic start to the season, 19th. A glance at the boys who achieved recently, confirms that Paarl Boys' High has more talent – not that that makes them invincible. It is good to bear in mind that their achievements are done in a year in which Western Province Schools rugby has been particularly powerful

Paarl is wet and most likely to get wetter. Several matches have been switched to Friday afternoon. The field which is narrow and which will be heavy will suit Paarl's powerful pack. Not that Paul Roos will stand back. They can mix it with the best.

2013 Achievers

Paarl Boys' High had two players in SA Schools, Paul Roos one

Paarl Boys' High had eight players in Western Province Craven Week side, Paul Roos two

Paarl Boys' High had eight players in Western Province Academy Week side, Paul Roos five

SA Schools

Paarl Boys' High: Thomas du Toit, Daniel du Plessis (hooker)

Paul Roos: Daniel du Plessis (centre)

Craven Week

Paarl Boys' High: Dewald Naudé, Charlton Jonas, Burger van Niekerk, Daniel du Plessis, Francois van der Merwe, Thomas du Toit, Ruan Brits, Damian Stevens, Dante van der Merwe (as a replacement)

Paul Roos: Daniel du Plessis, Herschel Jantjies

Academy Week

Paarl Boys' High: Dante van der Merwe (captain), Dayle Daniels, Luan Boshoff, Ferlin Vers,  Charl-Francois du Toit, Matthew le Roux, Derick Marais

Paul Roos: Vernon Petersen,  Mitch Lingeveldt , Jacques van Zyl , Aidynn Cupido, Edwill van der Merwe

Not all of these players will be playing on Saturday. The Boishaai hooker, Daniel du Plessis, broke a leg at Craven Week and will not play. Others Boishaai will not have are Dewald Naudé, Burger van Niekerk, Damian Stevens, Ferlin Vers and Derick Marais.

Paul Roos will be without Vernon Petersen and Aidynn Cupido, Wilfred's son, and  Mitch Lingeveldt is on the bench.

Against Common Opponents

There are not many matches in common for two schools so close to each other but, bless them, they are both schools willing to take on anybody anywhere, and so frequently play schools a long way away.

Bishops: Boishaai won 22-18; Paul Roos drew 22-22

Boland Landbou: Boishaai won 24-13; Paul Roos lost 19-18

Glenwood: Boishaai lost 17-15; Paul Roos won 15-10
