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
u15C Match Report vs Paul Roos
0-53 naturally that does not read too well, in retrospect one needs to dissect the negatives and positives to make history and plan for the future. It was agreed pre match to go uncontested and not only but also a short arm in instead of a scrum this would naturally speed the game up but would also allow for early organization on defence. The main negative was they received 6 short... Read More
U15A Match Report vs Paul Roos
An epic battle in the last 10 minutes as the team camped in their 22m area. Unfortunately we could not score. But it was the 3 soft tries conceded in the game that really hurt us. The first from a quick tap penalty when the boys turned their backs on the opposition. The second was a kick through where our full back should have kicked it into touch and there player hacked it through... Read More
SACS U15B MATCH REPORT vs BISHOPS
On Saturday the 21st of May was the date for one of our biggest and longest-standing rivalries. Coming off the back of two hard fought victories over Boland Landbou and Rondebosch, we had reason to believe Bishops were there for the taking. Unfortunately it took a whole half for the team to wake up and in the space of ten minutes Bishops ran in three unanswered ‘soft’ tries.... Read More
u15A Match Report vs Bishops
Close game, plus a most enjoyable one to watch. The boys played with heart and commitment, but were let down by their tackling again. 80 tackles made, but 40 missed. We cannot win games with those stats. Our defensive pattern still needs some work in the mid-field, but the set pieces were a lot better this week. Paul Roos on Saturday will be a hard game and defensively we need to... Read More
