Schoolboy rugby starts again: All the big fixtures this weekend
Hoërskool Waterkloof host Affies in the headline match while the Wynberg Rugby Festival concludes.
The 2026 schoolboy rugby season enters its second week, and some big fixtures are on the cards this Saturday.
In Pretoria, a derby of note will draw crowds as Hoërskool Waterkloof host Affies.
Bulls coach Johan Ackermann said he expected some of the Bulls faithful to miss their derby against the Stormers on Saturday due to the enormity of this clash.
Schools around the country also converged on Cape Town for the Wynberg Rugby Festival running through the week. The final matches will be played out on Saturday for families to make a day of it.
Otherwise, many of the biggest schools are slowly getting into the swing of things, with KwaZulu-Natal schools only starting this week. Some of their derbies include Durban HS v Michaelhouse, Hilton v Westville and Northwood v Glenwood.
