In one of the biggest upsets in SA school history, Jeppe Boys beat Grey College at the Nord/Suid festival on Monday, 22-19. It is the first time Grey have lost at this festival in their history, and the first time that they have ever lost to a boys school from Johannesburg.

This seems to be a new initiative.

Anyone have results of preseason games so far?

I heard St Kents beat Hastings Boys 24-20.. not sure if correct scoreline..

A nice little fact:

A unique achievement for the Withy family, with Taine named as the captain of our First XV for 2024 - taking the team to Japan and beyond.
Taine's brother Sean captained the side in 2018, while Aaron captained the side in 2021 - and now three years later, it’s Taine's turn.
