Premier Interschools in KZN
Premier Interschools, an initiative of Megapro, whose first match was Paarl Boys' High vs Grey College, now move to KwaZulu-Natal with another top encounter - Glenwood vs Maritzburg College in Durban on the day of the first Test between South Africa and England.
As with the first Premier Interschools match, this one will be televised live on SuperSport One.
For both of these teams this is their second televised match this season. Glenwood's first was at home against near-neighbours DHS whom they beat 34-9. Maritzburg College's televised match was just last week when Kearsney shocked them at home by winning 30-10.
Glenwood are 14th on the FNB Top 20. Maritzburg College were 20th but have dropped off in the wake of the Kearsney defeat.
Both of them are sides willing to take on any opposition and so play against top opposition in several parts of South Africa. Glenwood have lost five times in 15 matches College had lost four times in 12 matches.

In addition Glenwood have threeplayers who were at Craven Week in 2011, twoof them props: Matthew Worral-Clare, who played for KwaZulu-Natal, and Marne Coetzee who played for the Blue Bulls while he was at Waterkloof.
