Incredible match. Nothing comes close to SA schoolboy rugby 💪🏽🇿🇦🔥

[@davidkotze4140]

Very impressive !! 😁❤

[@godpenuel]

Jeez... this looks like it was a humdinger!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@SCHOOLOFSPORTS]

Yeah epic match just a pity about the dodgy try

[@lyellclare9365]

The linesman who made that try call should have his refs ticket taken off him. No excuses for missing that call.

[@SCHOOLOFSPORTS]

Yeah was a massive error considering he could have used the cameras

[@mamoersebaas2654]

De Jongh the older brother who's playing center.He looks like the new Brayan Habana .Small but bloody hell he's proper physical .we got a diamond coming through .Maybe he must first go to the sevens and than $tormers can take him thereafter..

[@thegamesyard2397]

[@Fl_OODY]

[@ianboyd8685]

What was the final score?

[@SCHOOLOFSPORTS]

26-24 to Paarl Boys High. The score is at the end of the video

[@christianweston2337]

So no1 is going to talk about that knock on try?

[@SCHOOLOFSPORTS]

It’s a pity that the cameras were not used

[@bunnychowmuncher]

He lost it backwards and then grounded it with his hand. No problem with that and I am neutral with no vested interest in either side.

[@SCHOOLOFSPORTS]

@@bunnychowmuncher could well have been the case

[@bunnychowmuncher]

@@SCHOOLOFSPORTS It certainly looks that way but I could be wrong but I did not see it roll ahead of him and the action of the Gim defenders was one of acceptance where it seems they saw him complete the try to they did not try ground it themselves. Moral of the story. Be faster in your clearances and don't get charged down and then this won't happen.

[@SCHOOLOFSPORTS]

@@bunnychowmuncher very true. The problem is more with the grounding of the ball not so much that it went forward. Law 22.1 on grounding “ b) Player presses down on the ball. A player grounds the ball when it is on the ground in the in-goal and the player presses down on it with a hand or hands, arm or arms, or the front of the player’s body from waist to neck inclusive.” But happened so fast it’s tough to call

[@andresmit9384]

What about Grey College against any worthwhile team?

[@SCHOOLOFSPORTS]

Yeah Grey v Affies comes to mind. What about crowd size? About the same?

[@dodecahedron7910]

No one cares about grey

[@kr1tical41]

Grey vs Paul Roos is always a big one

[@gerhardl9760]

@@SCHOOLOFSPORTS think it was around 13 000

Under 18? Thanks

[@novak7970]

All one dimensional play and players. What you come to expect from SA rugby these days - a snore fest. Little wonder the recent NZ under 19's demolished the very poor SA sides. NZ under 19's get a tougher game at home playing domestic teams. SA school boy clearly is what it's touted as but lack luster fumbling fatties and low skilled so called play makers.

[@dn822]

This is definitely not one dimensional

[@kdog1981cop]

What’s funny is how a video like this wound up hurting your feelings, so much so you decided to embarrass yourself in front of everyone who has watched this.
