15A Year End Report
Played Won Drew Lost Points for Points Against Points Difference 16 4 1 11 114 316 202 The 15A Rugby Squad has great potential to be a very good team, but they are still really lacking in confidence to really make a difference at this stage. The only team that we really improved against results wise was Paul Roos, where in U14 they lost 0-64 and then this year... Read More
u15A Match Report vs Wynberg
This game proved to be the worst of the season for the team and with 53% missed tackles you can understand why. The players now need to really work on their upper body strength and take what they have been shown over and over about tackling and defense and put it into practice. Stuart Black and I have really enjoyed coaching this side this year and I wish them all the best for U16.... Read More
u15A Match Report vs Bishops
Once again our missed tackles let us down. One cannot expect to win games with a 43% missed tackle rate. Our defensive system was sound, but when a Bishops player can slip 3 tackles, then that certainly is going to hurt. SACS managed a wonderfully worked try with Jesse Abrahams finishing well to score under the poles. But Bishops number 8 Saud Abrahams was too much for our boys... Read More
u15A Match Report vs Rondebosch
Nobody likes a draw. But at the end of the day, that’s what we had to accept. SACS had the better first half and were 12-0 up at the break. The boys were warned about losing concentration and going to sleep against Bosch who have a never-say-die attitude. Defensively we were looking good, but a wrong decision to go for a kick 22m drop kick cost us 5 points, plus a turnover ball... Read More
u15C Match Reports
U15c vs PBHS 56-0 naturally would indicate that there were not too many positives, however to the contrary the score really was not a true reflection of the effort that the team put in, many tackles were made behind the gain line and there outside backs were there primary scorers indicating that they struggled to penetrate from around the rucks, the set pieces went really well,...

u15A Match Report vs Brackenfell
It is always tough going out to these schools for the boys as they battle to switch on from the start. Brackenfell played well and defended extremely well. Keagan de Villiers scored a wonderful individualistic try late in the first half, but poor defense cost us yet again. The game plan in the second half was to simply use the forwards to hit the ball up around the ruck fringes,... Read More
u15C Match Report vs Wynberg
Victory at last 8-5 in a very evenly matched game and well deserved win for this group who have worked hard, lost 4 games by 7 points or less and who won many a 2nd half. All things considered I asked my self how things could have gone differently results wise, we spent a huge majority of our practice time on defence and the structure thereof which essentially we transferred effectively...

u15B Match Report vs Primrose
The u15B had struggled in previous weeks although they did manage a narrow win against De Kuilen last weekend to stop the run of two consecutive losses. The win was important for the boy’s confidence and it showed in the way we started the match. The boys carried out our instructions well – keep it tight initially and then once we had sucked in enough defenders we would... Read More
u15A Match Report vs Primrose
We started the game well with the game plan making an impact, but then tried some long passes and made many handling errors. The breakdown was poorly contested in the first half and Primrose collected a split ball from a porr pass and ran 50m to score under the poles. Half time came and along with this a new enthusiasm to keep it simple. The first try came from debutant Justin Williams... Read More
u15A Match Report vs De Kuilen
Well done to De Kuilen on a good victory on Saturday. They put pressure on our backline who could not hold onto the wet ball. OUr tackle stats were poor, not so much missed tackles, but simply the amount of tackles (only38). My concern is more the decision making according to the conditions and the game plan instructed. In wet conditions, one needs to tighten up and hold onto the... Read More
