The grand finale of the schoolboy rugby season brings fans one of the most anticipated match-ups in South African rugby – Paul Roos Gymnasium (PRG) versus Grey College at Markötter this Saturday (17 August).
The rivalry is more than just a game – it’s a tradition steeped in history, pride, and passion.
PRG last celebrated victory over Grey College on their home ground in 2022. As they prepare for this year’s encounter the anticipation in Stellenbosch is palpable. The town comes alive as old boys return from all corners of the globe, eager to relive the camaraderie and competition that define this storied event. From the golf courses to the pubs, the spirit of rivalry infuses every corner of the weekend.

Although both teams will miss key players due to the SA Schools set-up, the depth of talent ensures that those stepping into the spotlight will carry the same level of pride and determination.
