Rugby World Cup | Maritzburg College's proud tradition

Maritzburg College has a proud history of producing Springboks. The college shaped and groomed three World Cup-winning Springboks: Joel Stransky, Butch James and Jessie Kriel. Pupils there will join the rest of South Africa and cheer on one of their own in Saturday’s final against New Zealand in Paris. eNCA’s Siphokazi Malinga has more. #dstv403

Im a proud Maritzburg College oldboy (class of 09). I''ll always be grateful to my parents for providing with such an opportunity. I crossed paths with so many talented world class sportsmen. It was great seeing Dave and the Kriel twin brothers develop during my school years. Unfortunately I never got to meet Joel Stransky, Butch James, Peter Grant and Kevin Pieterson, they had already matriculated. Great footage from eNCA!

Hello if I may ask how was Pietermaritzburg girl high school?

[@lila44411]

@@lezilhendriks945 Hey! 🙋‍♀It was beyond lovely, truly. Having grown up a tomboy in unisex schools I was dreading an all girls' school but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

[@williamdenisjohnfrancis1532]

[@user-kq9ug7tz5k]

Yeah for Maritzburg College!! My home town and my daughter attended PMBurg Girls High and my son was a Merchiston boy until we left Natal to settle in Johannesburg - great time and keep up the spirit that is instilled in you by that great institution! Blessings and God speed

Brian Irvine was a Junior Bok and Bok selector. An ex Head boy of College. Led the Sharks back in the day. Don’t forget the people that gave back.

whats a spring box ?

[@garrethserobe492]

Springboks....A springbok is an antelope native to South Africa, it is also the national animal of South Africa and a name given to the South African national rugby team

[@thokongwenya711]

If such a school boy system exists in football it will be up yo yhe coaches and players and parents. Play to learn yhe basics... the rugby players love playing rugby. The money comes later ...too much emotional emphasis on money and material wealth is a handicap in football.

[@kopanokhumalo4344]

This makes me a little sad as an African....you can tell how rugby is a game of privilege

[@kopanokhumalo4344]

I mean even the black men has to assimilate

[@BanjoBob337]

We're all African in South Africa brother. Yes with different heritage and customs which make us an interesting and diverse mix. Public schools also play rugby though, I myself went to 1...

[@violetralebipi8194]

We all South African and encourage everyone to play sport of thier choices

[@kopanokhumalo4344]

@BanjoBob337 yes but who from your home town has made it to springboks...if you truly look at the stats most rugby players come from well off families

[@aidan-ator7844]

​@@kopanokhumalo4344most people who are successful at anything come from well off families anywhere in the world. That is just a way of the world.😂
