St Stithians Easter Rugby Festival – Day 2 Preview

 

Another action-packed day at the St Stithians Eastern Sports Festival is expected with some great matches scheduled.

09h15 - St Alban's (77,163) vs Grey High School (92,908) - ST Alban's who lost to St Andrew's (15-29) on Thursday can unfortunately not expect any favours from Grey High School after they lost were manhandled by Bishops (20-31). It will be an easy win for the boys in blue.

10h30 - St Andrew's (91,915) vs Wynberg Boys High (93,060) - St Andrew's come of a great win against St Alban's (29-15), however, Wynberg was even more impressive against Parktown Boys High (49-07). These two schools will throw every they have at each other and expect some physicality as the boys try to convince their opponents to accept defeat. Too close to call.

11h45 - Parktown Boys High (84,788) vs Clifton (72,878) - Both Parktown and Clifton suffered losses on Thursday, with Clifton's loss against St Stithians (10-15) looking a lot better than Parktown's loss (07-49) to Wynberg. However, Parktown will be the bookies favourites and may just be favourites to win. It should be an interesting encounter.

13h00 -  Maritzburg College (87,974) vs Bishops (98,484) - Maritzburg suffered an unexpected loss (32-33) against Michaelhouse, however, Bishops will come into the game as the hot favourites after beating Grey High School (31-20). Bishops' massive favourites will be too much for an average-sized pack of Maritzburg College which will give the Bishops' backs more than enough quality ball to score some scintillating tries. It won't be easy but it should be a comprehensive win for the boys from Cape Town.

14h45 - St Stithians (82,648) vs Michaelhouse (86,771) - St Stithians had a good win against Clifton (15-10) and would have been "confident" beating Michaelhouse on day two. However, Michaelhouse is having a good season and their "surprise" win against Maritzburg College (33-32) will boost their confidence to treat their hosts with little respect and score a good win.
