Unbeaten vs Unbeaten
Glenwood High School of Durban meet Grey College of Bloemfontein in a top rugby match on Saturday. Both are unbeaten teams.
There is more than just the 18 rugby matches involved. There are hockey, tennis, squash, cross country and chess, and a great opportunity to go from Highveld Bloemfontein down to the warmth and the sea.
Not that the Grey will be seduced by the more comfortable life – at least not till they have given their best on the rugby fields of Glenwood.
Season So Far
Glenwood is unbeaten in 13 matches, Grey in 10.
On the Schools Top 20, Grey have been ranked in second place behind unbeaten Paul Roos but they have now slipped down a place as they had not played as the school for some time. They are now ranked third and Glenwood fifth.
Grey have played five teams on the Top 20, Glenwood three.
Results against Common Opponents
The two teams have only two opponents ion common.
Affies: Glenwood won 37-34; Grey won 39-28
Monument: Glenwood won 49-22; Grey won 36-21
It should be a close contest.
