The schoolboy rugby action continues after the ever-entertaining Easter sport festivals last weekend, with big fixtures this Saturday.
Last year’s winners, Affies, host number two school Paarl Gim in the headline match-up.
Last year, Affies snatched a 16-16 draw away to Paarl Gim with a last-minute try and conversion. Paarl Gim will have revenge on their minds, as they target both the match and the overall table.
Meanwhile, Wynberg take on Rondebosch, Paarl Boys High face Oakdale, and Outeniqua host Boland Landbou in the other big clashes.
In Joburg, Jeppe take on JES in a significant local derby.
Other big schools have ostensibly easier fixtures. However, these could present as much opportunity for upsets as for climbing the table.
