Covid19 And Its Effect On The “Dirt Trackers” Of Schoolboy Rugby

 

Rugby supporters have been feeling the impact of covid on the sport and there has been plenty to say on the topic.  The impact of covid has also resulted in many questions and uncertainties, especially regarding the remainder of the schoolboy rugby season.

Will the boys still have an opportunity to play and what if this will be the last schoolboy rugby (and other sport) for the Grade 12 boys?   This made us wonder how do they feel about this and how have they experienced the training for the season and the few matches which they were able to play if any.

We decided to hear from two Grade 12 boys how Covid has impacted them in their final school year, especially their sports.

We chatted to Jean Luc du Toit and Jan Wessels who are Grade 12 pupils in two Pretoria High Schools.
