Most of the "top" rugby schools in the Western and Southern Cape will be in action with the number one ranked 1stXV, Paarl Gimnasium in action in Pretoria against Affies.
Bishops host a Boland Landbou that will be intent on fixing their "slip" against Paarl Gim a week ago and despite a decent 2024 by Bishops, winning four from six fixtures, Boland Landbou should give Bishops a decent run for their money.
There is big excitement at Brackenfell who hosts SACS on Saturday. Unfortunately for Brackenfell despite SACS's losses to Grey High and Maritzburg College the gossip in the Southern Suburbs is that SACS are steadily building to a possible title of the best 1stXV in the "Burbs". SACS should cruise to a good win.
The match between Strand and Durbanville was cancelled and if gossip is to be believed, the field side manners of Durbanville supporters is not what is acceptable in the Western Cape.
Oakdale will host Stellenberg and is the overwhelming favourite. Oakdale's only loss the season was against Paarl Boys High while Stellenberg is still hunting their first win of the 2024 season.
Rondebosch who will do their utmost to forget their 34-33 loss against Milnerton a week ago will host the unbeaten Paul Roos. Paul Roos' lack of action, their last match was played at the Noord/Suid Rugby Festival three weeks ago could make the first half interesting, however, thereafter they should continue their brilliant form and stroll home.
