Cameron Anthony - Captain of PBHS

Cameron Anthony, the son of renowned schoolboy coach Paul Anthony, will captain Pretoria Boys High School in Saturday's FNB Classic Clashes encounter against Affies - an all-Pretoria affair.

It is not surprising, then, that many of Anthony's rugby heroes - hookers John Smit and Chiliboy Ralepelle - were coached by his father at the selfsame Pretoria Boys High, although he also lists Pierre Spies (an Affies old boy!) as a hero.

Cameron grew up watching the likes of Smit and Ralepelle and says it was easy for him to look up players who were mentored by his father, who now coaches at the Blue Bulls and guided the Tuks Under-20s to the first-ever Varsity Young Guns trophy a few weeks ago.

But, of course, Saturday is all about the present and the Pretoria Boys outside centre - who is in his second year of First XV rugby - is really looking forward to the encounter.

Looking ahead to next year, Cameron will make a decision on his future depending on how this season goes for his team.

He is toying with the idea of taking a gap year or, perhaps studying - being involved in yachts or boats being one of his interests.

It does seem likely, however, that rugby will somehow feature in Cameron's future - although he says: "I'm really not looking too far ahead."
