Another shock result emerged in school rugby this weekend, as Stellenberg ended Paul Roos’ unbeaten run with a 20-10 comeback victory.
Stellenberg, ranked 14th last year, have become one of the form teams after also edging second-ranked Paar Gim by a point and beating third-ranked Grey College in the build-up to their win over fourth-ranked Paul Roos.
The ‘Jade Brigade’ made their latest win even more remarkable fighting from 10-0 down. They equalised late and then pushed on for a famous two-score victory.
Meanwhile, Paarl Gim secured an emphatic 51-24 away win over last year’s top team, Affies. Outeniqua beat Boland Landbou 34-24, Paarl Boys High drew 13-all with Oakdale, Wynberg secured an important 27-17 win over Rondebosch, and Jeppe won a 31-24 victory over Joburg rivals KES.
