Paul Roos chase a piece of history at Grey College in 2018 – SchoolBoyRugby Blog
13 August, 2018 beet W/Cape 160
Well the stage has been set for an epic finish to an outstanding season for two of SA’s powerhouse rugby schools. The main match of the massive annual interschools between Grey College and Paul Roos in Bloemfontein this year will feature two unbeaten 1st XV’s battling it out to be crowned South Africa’s number one ranked rugby school for 2018.
Since it is the final game of their respective seasons it is probably the closest thing South Africa will ever get to a formal national championship match.
Unbeaten seasons and number one rankings are not uncommon to Grey College but for Paul Roos it will be a significant achievement and given their remarkable results this year, they may even go down in their school history as being the Maroon Machine GOAT…if they can win in Bloem!
Paul Roos last topped the rankings in 2006. A return to the top has been long overdue for one of the best rugby schools in the world who have a rich rugby history, including being named after the very first Springbok rugby captain.
Although 2006 and 1999 seasons were awesome ones for Paul Roos, the Stellenbosch Maroon Machines’ last unbeaten campaign was way back in 1991. That’s 27 years ago! Before that one has to go all the way back to a further 38 years to 1953 to come across another unconquered season.

In the time that Paul Roos had 2 unbeaten seasons. Grey College have had 23. The last time the Navy Greyts had the joy of an unbeaten season back in 2011, so this is currently their second longest dry spell since 1955.

This is going to be awesome. Good luck to both schools. I hope PRG can pull it off with all their Lochnerhof old boys that helped them to have such a amazing season. Just for the record in all 15 games played PRG have scored 868 points and conceded 190 points that is a difference of 678 or 45,2 per game so far this year. It does show how good those 2007 and 1981 GCB teams were.
14 August, 2018 at 08:33
@Stier: Unfortunately 2 of those Lochnerhof old boys won’t be playing, because of SA Schools duty, but I do hope that they can pull it off. Looking at the last 4 years, the scores were very close. It’s gonna be one hell of a game!!
14 August, 2018 at 08:42
@Stier: Jammer Stier maar daai statistiek gaan PRG geensins help saterdag nie. Die geheim gaan wees hoe goed die plaasvervangers gaan vaar teen wedstryd wenners wat nie daar gaan wees nie. Gelukkig was daar n paar wedstryde om die aanpassing te maak. Grey Kollege is die groot gunsteling saterdag. Dit gaan n grootste poging verg van PRG om hulle te klop.
14 August, 2018 at 09:14
@Stier: That also indicates an avg match score of 58-13..Not too shabby for the teams they played.
14 August, 2018 at 10:45
One has to admire how this team performed this year. GCB is going to be very difficult to beat in Bloem, they are the benchmark for SA SBR. Whatever happens on Saturday we have witnessed one of the top SBR teams of all time in my opinion.
Meeste games wat GCB die jaar gespeel het kon ek call met redelike sekerheid, met Glenwood wat n spanner in my works was, die game gaan ek nie call nie wat ek wel weet is dit die span wat wil wen gaan moet speel soos die nr 1 span in die land…
14 August, 2018 at 11:31
On the St John’s link back in March, I said that the 2018 PRG team was something special and the early frontrunners for the number 1 spot. They played like a well-oilded All Blacks team. Riempies, McCulleys and I were supposed to meet in Bloem this weekend for the big finale. Unfortunately, I will be.in Mpumalanga, so will miss it. Have a great one gents! Keep me posted on this site please.
14 August, 2018 at 11:39
Paul Roos will take this one I think.
14 August, 2018 at 11:54
Ek was bevoorreg om die laaste twee bus trippe na Bloemfontein mee te maak. Die interskole tussen twee skole is iets heeltemal anders as in die Paarl. Die skoliere is brutaal op die veld maar as daai eindfluitjie blaas, dan is die teenstander waar hy oorgeslaap het die eerste om geluk te wens. Meeste van hulle slaap by mekaar oor vanaf u14 en so word baie pals for life. Nie net die rugby nie maar al die sportsoorte gaan in 2018 kompeterend wees.
@PaarlBok: In Bloemfontein sal Grey altyd die gunsteling wees. Hulle sê mos nie verniet nie dat jy in Bloemfontein speel totdat Grey wen……..
@PRBoitjie: moet se die laaste 5 min laasjaar was ook darem n senutergende 10 min gewees😂😂
14 August, 2018 at 14:08
@PRBoitjie: Jip-die refs is blatant skelm.uiteraard in n one horse dorpie soos Bloemfontein is jou loopbaan as skeidsregter beperk as jy nie Grey bevoordeel nie..
Good luck Paul Roos.Dit sal my verbaas eendien julle meer as 1 of miskien 2 wedstryde wen,maar die bal is ovaal
14 August, 2018 at 15:49
@boerboel: Bloem is nie vir sussies nie, vra maar die ouens wat hier in die weermag was…. Indien daar enigsins sulke manne in jou kringetjie is jy klink maar vir my van die soort outjies wat sulke dinge vermy het…seker met n Dr briefie by die inhame sentrum opgedaag
14 August, 2018 at 17:30
@Vleis: You right, Riempies and I have baled because PR are missing more players than Grey. I think there were burgers on offer, Riem what was that bet? Bush Playa and I have bottles of Black Bush on the table. Big match also Helpies v Monnas
@Smallies: Not everyone who went to the army are hero’s.
14 August, 2018 at 17:50
Dit is baie interesant dat PR net 16 en Grey net 14 wedetryde in die seisoen het. dit blyk in die Noordvaal dat 25 wedstryde plus die norm is. tog wek hierdie wedstryd ongekende belangstelling
14 August, 2018 at 17:51
@McCulleys Workshop: nope… That is not the point though.
14 August, 2018 at 18:24
@Smallies: Which point? Grey having an unfair advantage missing one less player than PR or anyone who missed the army woes’ed out?
@McCulleys Workshop: some did not all but some did, i suspect old boerboel was one of them
14 August, 2018 at 19:01
Snaaks dat Bloem internet het. Seker maar die gelyktes.
14 August, 2018 at 19:09
@McCulleys Workshop: No Black Bush on this game. You have to be at the game to win it. But I’m sure I can put a few dooswyn’s on the game, seeing that you won’t be here. But it’s okay Chuck Norris won the Vietnam War on his own, Conan The Barbarian chowed GCB on his own. I will drink my Black Bush and eat my Burger with muffroom sauce on my own this Saturday.
14 August, 2018 at 19:18
@Bush: Lekker Bush, any man who drinks Black Bush on his own is a true man, especially if he went to the weermag vir twee jaar. Sak vir Susan
14 August, 2018 at 19:26
@McCulleys Workshop: A real man was the oke who called the Korporal “Sir”. Lucky I was a Rekkie in SADF and a Selous Scout in the Rhodesian Army. Me and Trompie were Generals
14 August, 2018 at 19:37
@Bush: Bush, I see you have been reading Trompie en die Volksie Benders again. Just be careful under that bonnet, it may be a smallies.
14 August, 2018 at 19:44
@McCulleys Workshop: Whahahahahahaha just rolled my Buffel
15 August, 2018 at 09:33
@boerboel: Ek weet jy trol net, maar die skeidsregter vir Saterdag se horisonne is effe wyer as Bloemfontein. Ek het hom laas by die 7’s Wereldbeker in San Fransisco sien blaas.
Hy het ook verlede jaar by ons /11 Aloe Cup ‘n paar wedstryde geblaas en, soos altyd, het daar ouers/toeskouers gereeld vir hom kritiek, advies en raad van die kant af aangebied.
Hy is op die SA Nasionale A paneel.
15 August, 2018 at 09:49
@Rainier: Mmmmm-dit se niks-waarvandaan kom die ref.
en ja ek was in die SAW-kan julle meer info gee maar dan sal julle opeindig soos ene mnr minnie
15 August, 2018 at 11:56
@Rainier: En sy vrou of girlfriend is onderwyser by Grey!!
15 August, 2018 at 12:01
Sterkte aan beide spanne,
Hierdie interskole is ook iets spesiaals, en die druk is groot op die seuns.
Jy klop nie sommer vir Grey in Bloem nie, maar miskien verras die jong Maties ons.
15 August, 2018 at 12:38
@boerboel:’n Oorlede vriend van my was in die Geheime Diens – hy’t altyd gesê, “Ek kan jou sê, maar dan moet ek jou doodmaak!”
15 August, 2018 at 12:44
@tzavosky: In die ou dae was almal of n recce, of is familie van n recce, of het n recce geken….en almal het mos swaargekry in die ou dae..
15 August, 2018 at 15:27
Vir die Grey & PRG ondersteuners wat nie Bloem toe kan reis nie maar alle aksie wil volg (PRG se big brag word vanaand uitgesaai) kan alles volg op digitv.co.za teen n subskripsie fooitjie.
@PaarlBok: nie nodig vir footjie nie. Game word uigesaai op DSTV.
15 August, 2018 at 16:12
@Kritikaster: If you have a look at the Noordvaal and W/Cape schools fixture lists, a W/Cape school on average played more games than a Noordvaal school this year. Unlike the Noordvaal schools most W/Cape schools only play an opponent once a year, except for SACS, Bishops, Bosch and Wynberg.
15 August, 2018 at 16:45
@Maroon: Ek weet maar vanaand se big brag onder andere en al die ander spanne en sporte word daar uitgesaai. R70 vir die week.
Paul Roos het vanjaar uitstekend gevaar, maar hulle het meer sleutelspelers verloor. Grey se reserwekrag is na my mening beter.
Gaan nogtans vir PR cheer.
15 August, 2018 at 23:22
Hopefully the Real Smallies and the Great Chief Of GCB will be here tomorrow to raise some money for THIER SCHOOL😘As I will be there drinking my Black Bush Whiskey and rolling my polony.
16 August, 2018 at 00:10
@PRondersteuner: En jou punt is?
16 August, 2018 at 06:22
@Bush:Jy rol baie lank aan jou pelonie want die event was 2015. Seker daai Bush whisky?
16 August, 2018 at 07:35
@Bush: would have loved to attend… Unfortunately Thanos has the time stone….
16 August, 2018 at 07:43
@Bush: You taken up Astral Travel along with your yoga studies?
16 August, 2018 at 07:44
@PaarlBok: Whahahahaha just rolled my polony. Same event again tonight. Hope to see the real GCB supporters there. The foundation of the school🏋️‍♀️
16 August, 2018 at 07:47
@Bush: Bush, hope you have your House blazer, Glenwood tie and Grey socks.
16 August, 2018 at 07:55
@Smallies: Smallies you have be there tonight. The School needs okes like you to support it. Bring your wallet and your Ford Range. I will help you load the auctioned stuff
16 August, 2018 at 07:57
@McCulleys Workshop: Morning McCulley have my Toti Blazer and my House Tie for tonight’s function. Will use the House Blazer and GW tie on Tuesday at the Warden Court 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️
16 August, 2018 at 08:02
@Bush: hilux mate, please dont insult me
16 August, 2018 at 08:23
@Smallies: Bring you Hilux then. And your wallet and Koeksuster
16 August, 2018 at 08:25
@Rainier: Sê maar net!!
16 August, 2018 at 08:46
@Bush: Die event moes julle eintlik gehou word nader aan vrydag. Ek ken n hele paar Grey ouers met vet beursies met kinders in PRG.
16 August, 2018 at 10:13
@PaarlBok: So it’s Grey vs Grey. I can’t lose. McCulley I want my Black Bush
16 August, 2018 at 14:33
@Bush: Locked and loaded.
16 August, 2018 at 18:13
Die golfdag het gister die 15de plaasgevind. 😂
16 August, 2018 at 18:50
@chief: English please
@Bush: Leave people’s sisters alone
16 August, 2018 at 19:27
@Playa: if he knew my sister, he’d be running for the hills… She wears her shoes out from the insides
16 August, 2018 at 19:28
Sien PRG het Wolhuter 10 toe geskuif, Remy 15, Sharink na vaskop, vd Watt haker, Labuschagne 12. Cordy kaptein.
16 August, 2018 at 19:47
@Smallies: Does she kiss nicely😬😬😬😬
16 August, 2018 at 20:06
@Bush: she dont do nothing nicely….
16 August, 2018 at 20:27
@PaarlBok: Goeie keuses IMO. Sharink het aanvanklik vroeër in die seisoen vaskop gespeel terwyl Hanru nog besig was met sy rehabilitasie. Die haker is ook ‘n skaflike plaasvervanger maar JJ sal baie gemis word. Kade is ‘n natuurlike losskakel alhoewel hy nie baie daar gespeel het vanjaar nie. Remy sal baie goed doen op 15 en ek glo daar sal steeds baie spoed op die vleuels wees.
Ruben is regtig ‘n “footballer” soos Dok Craven sou sê. Hy is boonop ‘n gebore leier en was tot dusver kaptein in baie spanne. Ek glo nie die wedstryd sal te groot wees vir hom nie.
Cordy “is a leader of men” soos iemand in Paul Roos hom beskryf….hy sal goed vaar as kaptein.
Paul Roos het ‘n paar groot name verloor maar daar is steeds baie talent.
Dalk is Grey se diepte groter maar ek glo Paul Roos se voorspelers kan steeds goeie balbesit verseker om hulle gevaarlike agterlyn genoeg goeie balbesit te gee.
IMO is Grey se probleem om ‘n geskikte plaasvervanger op 3 te kry. Grey het genoeg loosies om daardie verlies te oorkom sou ek sê. Agterlangs gaan baie om 9 en 10 draai. Laasgenoemde het nie ‘n goeie Cravenweek beleef nie. Small-Smith kan regtig ‘n bedreiging wees vir Paul Roos.
2 Skitterende groep afrigters van beide spanne en ek glo almal se huiswerk is gedoen.
As Wes-Kapenaar sal ek Paul Roos ondersteun.
‘n Bietjie nuttelose info: My pa was darem ook baie jare gelede in Stellenbosch op skool. Op daardie stadium was dit nog Stellenbosch Boys’ High. Sy skoolhoof was destyds Paul Roos. Sy 1ste spanfoto hang nog in my studeerkamer
16 August, 2018 at 20:50
@BuffelsCM: bietjie nuttelose inligting, my pa was in die middel 1950s onderwyser daar…. Ek het nou sy baadjie
16 August, 2018 at 20:52
@BuffelsCM: Ek ken die SmallSmiths baie goed. As Paul Roos teen Grey speel is dit n groot stories in daai huishouding. Die een neef het tot laasjaar vir PRG se 1st team hokkie gespeel. Ons stap die lyne al jare saam.
16 August, 2018 at 20:58
@Smallies: she may be just what Bush is looking for
16 August, 2018 at 21:08
@Playa: trust me dude….NOOOOO😂😂😂
16 August, 2018 at 21:26
@BuffelsCM: To me Mink Scharink is one of the underrated players of the SBR season. And a good finisher from 2m out.
I think the lineout will be interesting. Glenwood didn’t have an easy time in this department against Grey and altho not quite the same the Bulls also suffered against Vrystaat at CW.
The other area of interest might be the impact that fresh players off the bench have as part of the squad system which I suspect Grey will use and PRG might see feel obliged to mimic.
16 August, 2018 at 21:32
@Smallies: Jy sal skrik as ek sê watter jaar my pa in Matriek was…net voor die Groot Depressie in 1929. Hy het groot geword in die Karoo en moes maar “groot dorp” toe gaan om skool te voltooi. Sy jonger broer was ook in “HJS Stellenbosch” (Matriek 1941).
16 August, 2018 at 21:36
This match is a very tough assignment for the Bloem referee. One wrong call against the visitors and he might be immortalised for all the wrong reasons.
A few weeks back I saw a photo shot of a Glenwood player grounding the ball over the GCB tryline which was called held up by the experienced Durban based ref.
Last week I watched the Lions ref award Valia a try after an in-goal one-on-one scramble to dot it down. The TV replay showed that the Helpies lock had his paw on the ball first. Easy call with a TMO. Very difficult one to make in real time.
In the context of the season both calls were vital ones but made against the home team by a local ref. So the unhappiness was contained to a degree, helped by the fact that the home teams didn’t lose in the end.
16 August, 2018 at 21:39
@BuffelsCM: my pa was op marlow op skool, die jaar wat die skool af gebrand het, ook hier in die 40s rond, later onderwys geswot op graf reinette, ek dink PRG was sy eerste onderwys pos gewees…
16 August, 2018 at 21:40
@beet: Agreed on Mink. He is quite powerful and will definitely don’t fret the physical stuff.
Paul Roos has some variations in the lineout too. Jarod Cairns is another player that always brings his “A” game. He is physical but has a lot of ball sense and skills. It remains a pity that both teams will miss some of their top players
16 August, 2018 at 21:45
@BuffelsCM: grey sal beslis vir Marais en Aggies mis, marais is seker een van die beste skole 7s wat ek nog gesien het, lynstane ook baie goed gewees, hy laat my nogal dink aan Juan en Andre
16 August, 2018 at 21:53
@Smallies: Aggies is ‘n masjien!!
Marais het vir my nie heeltemal tot sy reg gekom by die SA-span nie maar het my nog altyd beïndruk vir Grey. Gelukkig is daar darem redelik goeie ander manne ook onder die losvoorspelers.
17 August, 2018 at 02:33
@Smallies: Fcuk after tonight I’m game for anything.
17 August, 2018 at 02:43
After my evening tonight. Thank you Grey for a wonderful dinner and the reason I bought 3 balls and a huge bottle of dooswyn. Tok after all the kuk stories I listened to about the “Post Matric’s” GW had against GCB. The over aged players and all that kuk. I thought I was up against people that love Rugby. That game I watched was SBR ffs. Let’s go Grey 2 3 Grey
17 August, 2018 at 07:00
@Bush: Djou and myself chatted about the GW game the past weekend – real GCB supporters will never look for excuses. CLF was brilliant on the day.
17 August, 2018 at 09:06
@Rainier: I thought so too, I was in the Lion’s Den last night and those were the kuk excuses I heard. Not one person said flip, that’s the kind of game we expect from GW. Yes, CLF was brilliant and I’m not a GW supporter truckall!!!!!!!
17 August, 2018 at 09:35
@PaarlBok: Dis net Marius se seun wat in PR was..Die res van hulle is almal bloubloed Grey manne..Marius inkluis. Ek het al baie PR vs Grey games saam Johan gekyk,..hy slaan gelukkig nie meer teenstanders met die kop soos jare terug in George nie!..
17 August, 2018 at 09:39
@Bush: Dis you bump into Flip and Ruan over there?..See they only got to bed at 5am…
17 August, 2018 at 10:44
@BoishaaiPa: I left early at 3:00 and still had to drive 60km home. Maybe saw them in my dream😬
17 August, 2018 at 10:50
17 August, 2018 at 13:13
@BoishaaiPa: Ja ek het al die Small-Smiths in Bloem ontmoet. Hulle lyk almal dieselfde. Marius het my byna laat streak met n maroon onderbroek daar by Grey se Losie. Ian ondersteun darem PRG se hokkiespan. Hy het gereeld saam ons lyn geloop by Maties se astro. Wonderlike mense en Grey legends.
17 August, 2018 at 13:16
@PaarlBok: Wat is die kanse vir n gelykop uitslag?
17 August, 2018 at 13:29
@Dennis: Nee wat, Grey is die gunstelinge.
17 August, 2018 at 13:33
@PaarlBok: Wie het dit besluit, PRG dan nr 1 in die land.
17 August, 2018 at 13:48
@Dennis: PRG is nr1 in die Wes Kaap. Grey in die land. Ons gee dit vir hulle.
17 August, 2018 at 14:08
Hoe kan n span wat alles wen nr 2 wees, en n span wat alles wen MAAR een ‘draw’, nr 1 wees.
17 August, 2018 at 14:11
@Dennis: Please don’t say that😬😬😬😬. I’ve heard enough BS about the GW draw.
17 August, 2018 at 14:15
@Dennis: Na more sal PRG seker nr3 wees na 1 verloor. Bush , die engelse Bog, gaan heel naweek sy polonie rol en whisky suip saam Smallies se sussie.
17 August, 2018 at 14:19
@Bush: As Hendrickse gespeel het, ander wedstryd.
17 August, 2018 at 14:56
@PaarlBok: weereens, duuuuuude julle kaap outjies is te lig vir my sussie, sy werk daar by Jan Smuts dam in Brakpan, hulle gebruik haar om voedpadjies deur die duwweltjies oop te trap na die burgersentrum toe, julle beskaafde mannetjies van die kaap is nie opgewasse nie en julke mediese dekking is nie voldoende nie…
17 August, 2018 at 16:45
Ek sien Grey het die versuip sokker gewen…
17 August, 2018 at 20:48
en die hokkie ook 3-2.Eerste keer die dekade
@Bush: on your lonesome this year!!! The trio not talking anymore?
18 August, 2018 at 01:35
@odie15: the only trio bush knows is three ships.
18 August, 2018 at 05:39
@odie15: Yes all alone here in crunchie land. I totally understand why my Best Buddies pulled a fast one on me. It’s bloody cold here and all I’ve heard is kuk stories about u19 players. McCulley I wish I had those 3 ships, I would have sailed out of here yesterday😬.
Anyway today is the day. 2 3 Grey 2 3 Grey 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️
18 August, 2018 at 06:20
@McCulleys Workshop: More like the Three Sisters trio from Bloem😬😬😬😬😬😬. Please no art teacher😬😬😬😬
18 August, 2018 at 06:42
@Bush: they paint them beautiful in Bloem. 2 3 Roos 2 3
18 August, 2018 at 07:02
@Bush: Wonder why Bloem is called the Rose stad??
18 August, 2018 at 07:03
@McCulleys Workshop: Morning McCulley, what’s that 2 3 Roos???? Short for Rooster 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
18 August, 2018 at 07:12
@Bush: You can paint the Roos any colour you want, as long as it’s maroon.
18 August, 2018 at 07:14
@McCulleys Workshop: Well they will be painted Grey today.
18 August, 2018 at 07:18
@Bush: Greys not a colour.
18 August, 2018 at 07:19
Viva la Grey with a well deserved win on the hockey field.
I predict PRG not winning a lot of games on the rugby field today.
18 August, 2018 at 07:22
@Honey Badger: What’s your prediction for the 1st game
18 August, 2018 at 07:27
Grey won all the hockey games yesterday.
18 August, 2018 at 07:29
@McCulleys Workshop: Grey will be too strong.
Grey will win by at least 10.
Grey’s backs will create havoc.
18 August, 2018 at 07:30
@McCulleys Workshop: What’s it then? A porno movie? Grey going to chow your rooster today. Grey by 15 points.
18 August, 2018 at 07:34
But then again, it reminds me of a game not too long ago where absolutely no one gave the Blue Army any chance.
I guess then anything is possible, a win against Grey in Bloem is a rare sight though.
@Honey Badger: Ratel I with you on this one. McCulley and his PRG supporters know nothing about the strength and mind set of the Grey Machine.
18 August, 2018 at 07:37
@Bush: Grey is a depressed singer.
18 August, 2018 at 07:39
@Bush: Does anyone have the overall record of this derby.
Seems like a very one sided affair.
18 August, 2018 at 07:41
PRG has only been ranked 1st 4 times since 1953.
This MUST be a worrying factor.
@Bush: Roos have been watching Conan replays of him dancing through that 10/12 channel and his pole axing of a no8.
@Honey Badger: Yes it’s very Grey 😬😬😬😬😬😬
@Bush: 2 3 Grey…or should i rather say, 3 2 Grey.
@McCulleys Workshop: This is the only time today that I will agree with you McCulley.
18 August, 2018 at 07:44
@Honey Badger: the telling factors are no of players missing and playing away. I think this has the potential to be a big big game. However there is always the unpredictable nature of SBR and Home town refs.
18 August, 2018 at 07:45
@McCulleys Workshop: i didnt watch this game as i attended that biggie in Paarl,
Please elaborate on this comment, who is Conan, and woe..pole axed, sounds a bit drastic.
18 August, 2018 at 07:47
@McCulleys Workshop: The schools should be used to the fact that there is a possibility to have players missing for this fixture.
I am just scared that PRG might print some t shirst again.
18 August, 2018 at 07:53
@McCulleys Workshop: No no McCulley you starting to sound like a sore loser. Grey have the same issue. Only difference is the home ground, medics and refs.
18 August, 2018 at 07:55
@Honey Badger: Conan Le Fleur is a Glenwood 13 who played SAS last year but was ineligible this year as he turns 19 later in the year. He had some amazing breaks particularly from broken play and at 5ft nothing (but 4ft wide) he comatosed a certain player who was well over 6ft and full of muscle. I think the guy was stretchered off.
18 August, 2018 at 07:56
@Bush: Bush you know what one extra player can do CLF
18 August, 2018 at 07:59
@McCulleys Workshop: Where can i view this game?
18 August, 2018 at 08:00
@McCulleys Workshop: I heard a rumour that GCB pulled a GW and contracted CLF for this game only. Monday he goes back to GW
18 August, 2018 at 08:01
@Honey Badger: Ask Smallies he’s got a video of the game
18 August, 2018 at 08:14
Who is Smallies?
18 August, 2018 at 09:00
Bushie, what’s going on at your school? More pressure from the rear.
@Honey Badger: SS1 at 17.05
18 August, 2018 at 11:01
@Bush: loooooooong time ago in a galaxy far far away…
18 August, 2018 at 11:22
PRG is getting hammered in Bloemfontein.
14a lost 33-7
15a lost 35-14
16a 62-5 down with a few minutes left.
18 August, 2018 at 11:52
@Honey Badger: 16a 67-5 full time.
18 August, 2018 at 12:16
Boishaai vs Gim maybe the biggest schoolboy rugby game, but the Grey College vs PRG is by far the biggest InterSchools, measured by the number of spectators at the hockey, tennis, soccer, golf and mountain biking. Also a number of national junior champions in action.
18 August, 2018 at 12:25
3ds 67-18 Grey…ouch
18 August, 2018 at 12:27
@greybearded: Will always be bubbling under.
18 August, 2018 at 12:37
@Honey Badger:grey vs paul roos definitely the biggest interschools for egos. paarl would rather beat gym every year than beat grey or paul roos. not even close.
18 August, 2018 at 13:39
Cherries whip the Bituas 49-11.
18 August, 2018 at 15:50
In the words of Conner Mc cloud there can be only one…. Well done GCB, PRG chaps julle het soos gewoonlik alles op die veld gelos, julle is werklik waardige oponente, julle kan BAIE trots op hierdie span wees…
18 August, 2018 at 15:55
@Smallies: Sometimes ‘everything’ is simply not good enough. Grey won all 24 rugby games today.
A very long road back home for the PRG lads.
@Honey Badger: are you serious????
Honey Badger, you must be dreaming.
18 August, 2018 at 16:01
@Smallies: a royal flush my friend.
Records are there to be broken and Grey basically did that today.
18 August, 2018 at 16:02
@dammetjie: Phone a friend, stats dont lie.
Geluk aan Grey College. PRG se beste poging was nie goed genoeg vandag nie.
18 August, 2018 at 16:04
@PaarlBok: Whoever is in charge of PRG rugby has some hard work ahead.
To not win a single rugby game, is simply not good enough.
18 August, 2018 at 16:12
@Honey Badger: At least we beat Boishaai good enough. A week is a long time in rugby.
@Honey Badger: You understand Paarl interschools, not Grey vs PRG.
18 August, 2018 at 16:27
What a great day of rugby here on Hoof Veld. Those U14 and U15A games were pretty close even though the scoreboard says otherwise. What a wonderful final game. GCB Nr10 was almost “Costa GCB” the game. That GCB pack was incredible. GCB Nr6 MOM.
Legend stuff-McCulley and Playa I’m coming for my winnings. Reimpies I’m will give you a ring the next time I’m in Jhb for my Burger with Muffroom sauce.
18 August, 2018 at 16:28
@4×4 Polony: I have no idea of this. Maybe fake news.
18 August, 2018 at 16:37
Riempies ju skuld my n stadeon burger my vriend…..
18 August, 2018 at 16:45
@Smallies: Riempies is crying heavy. Helpies got chowed and PRG were beaten. He owes a few burgers
18 August, 2018 at 19:39
@Bush: @Smallies: only History I saw was Grey winning all The Hockey & All the rugby today! I was informed earlier this year that Grey views Roos as only competition as a school due to their alround competitiveness! On 5 May Grey won only 7/26 rugby games played….so what’s the hype when you wiped the floor…
18 August, 2018 at 20:04
@odie15: whats the hype when you beat paarl gym but still lost 4 games this season?
18 August, 2018 at 20:30
@odie15: my ou vriend van pollsmoor, wat ek nou se, se ek met due grootste agting en respek vir Grey se ander teenstanders, maar wat kompetiesie oor die geheel spektrum van Grey se sport betref is daar net drie skole wat Grey gereeld 50% van alle games klop… En hulle is PRG, Boishaai, en Affies… Weereens dit is oor die hele spektrum van sport
@odie15: Odie Howzit, hope you are well. What was the overall HJS PRG rugby result?
18 August, 2018 at 21:00
My laaste ding voor ek in die kooi klim, ek is n reuse De Wet Marais fan, en ek glo hy gaan n bok word een dag…. Maar die jaar het daar n speler vir my uit gestaan in die Grey span en hy is Jan-Hendrik Wessels… Veral as mens in ag neem dat hy Gr 11 is en nog laasjaar slot gespeel het.
18 August, 2018 at 21:04
@Smallies: Smallies geluk my mater,julle is *****
18 August, 2018 at 21:05
@Smallies: stem saam goeiezpeler. Wil ook net se daai senter van die o/16a span wat n hat trick gedruk het is nogals indrukwekkend..
Benchmark vir skole in SA.Ja daar is altyd n challenger,maar oor tyd is julle die “Alan Grey”van investments
18 August, 2018 at 21:56
@Smallies: it wasn’t a Greyt person who told me this! It was a Roos person. I think Big matches are AWESOME thing but for some it was more important to see a team lose than focus on their own season. The season has shown how tough it is to achieve the perfect season. Many will talk of what if this didn’t happen or that didn’t happen or why SAS players aren’t available. If that will be an excuse time to schedule your season to accommodate potential unavailable players. For the record both teams had same basic number missing players. Did it remove from quality of the match….I don’t think so.
18 August, 2018 at 22:07
@McCulleys Workshop: HJS vs PRG was 19 wins of 23 games for HJS!
18 August, 2018 at 22:32
@spoedsmit: They Hype was about the entire school competing in all sports vs Grey in a weekend not the season! Then they were annihilated across the board! The relevance to hype was purely about competition this weekend. So the years performance was never my reference. PAARL INTERSCHOOLS hype well it’s just another level due to geography. But if you want hype in matches played then ok in 5 years Boishaai played 114 lost 9 drawn 1…of that had 40 consecutive wins before loss in New Zealand then another home season 18 wins. I consider it 2 unbeaten seasons in my books just for information. It was a BIG game today no doubt maybe some humble pie & bit more respect towards achievements now that some have failed to replicate 1 perfect season. Congrats to Grey & congrats to Glenwood. Many even Hopper have given them a chance of joining an elite group to be unbeaten in Modern era.
20 August, 2018 at 06:53
I think the history caught up to paul roos and overtake them 😆
