Rondebosch host SACS

The match will be streamed live at 12.15 SA time.

SACS is in Newlands, the nextdoor suburb to Rondebosch. SACS are above the railwayline, Rondebosch below it. But they are not at all far apart, schools which have the same sort of ethos, the same sort of parents and boys, the same sort of staff, both with boarding departments, they both have great views of Devil's Peak and the side of Table Mountain - their very similarity adding to the rivalry between them.

They are both fine schools, amongst the best in the land in every measurable way.

Season so Far

Rondebosch have won 10 of their 15 matches, drawn one and lost four.

SACS have won nine of their 17 matches with two draws and six defeats.

In the first round the sides drew 28-28.
