The SA Schools selectors on Friday named two squads of 23 players each to represent the SA Schools and SA Schools A teams in 2022, with Kathleho Lynch (SA Schools) and Cobus van Dyk (SA Schools A) named as coaches.
The squads will assemble at Hoër Landbouskool Boland near Paarl on Saturday after the conclusion of the SA Rugby Under-18 Craven Week, where they will prepare for a match against each other on Saturday, 16 July at Hamilton Rugby Club in Green Point, Cape Town.
Apart from training, a blazer presentation ceremony will be held next week and the squads will attend the third Castle Lager Incoming Series Test between the Springboks and Wales at the DHL Stadium.
The management teams of both squads have also been confirmed. Lynch (Golden Lions) will be assisted by James Winstanley (Eastern Province), while Van Dyk’s (Blue Bulls) assistant will be Lwazi Zangqa from Border.
The match will kick off at 12h30 next Saturday and the respective captains of the two teams will be named later.
