Rugby: Southern Suburbs Quartet

As they have been doing for years and years, the four Southern Suburbs boys’ schools will be in action this weekend – SACS, Wynberg, Bishops and Rondebosch, all 19th century foundations.

SACS, the oldest school in South Africa, play host to Bishops, the school that first started playing the game. This is almost certainly the oldest match in South Africa. The first recorded match between the two was in 1873, before the foundation of the Hamiltons club, the oldest club in South Africa. Bishops had started playing in 1861 and it is most likely that they and SACS, the two Cape Town Colleges, played each other soon after that.

Season so Far

SACS have played five matches, losing only to St Andrew’s of Grahamstown.
Wynberg have also played five, winning two, drawing with Grey PE and losing to KES and Stellenberg.
Bishops went on tour to Ireland and have played just two matches since, beating Bellville and losing to Paarl Gim, 31-10, Gim’s lowest score in nine victories this season.
Rondebosch have played seven matches, winning six and losing to Boland Landbou. Amongst their victories, they beat St Andrew’s 27-13 and Grey PE 18-17.

Rondebosch is the only one of the four ranked on the Top 20 and is ranked 10th.

The SACS-Bishops match is available live on #schoolboyderby.
