I went with a uk academy on a tour of south africa abt a yr ago, played paarl boys and a few other academies over there, and when i tell you they are a different breed believe it, we had some big boys so we edged out the teams we played in the forwards slightly (scrums, lineouts etc...) But the level of athleticism in their backs was ridiculous, we couldnt compete as soon as the ball touched their flyhalf, they ran through us all day. Then after the game they were some of the nicest, most enthusiastic people ive met, absolutely excited to talk with us abt school and rugby in the uk. Great experience.
Paarl Boys’ High? Yea, that school is GOATED. Best school in SA by far. Great manners, great sport, great balance.
Hello from Paarl, Western Cape South Africa
Yes we breed strong rugby players right here, but it's the love of the sport that keeps us motivated
Great video
Grey Bloem and many other schools better than gay Paarl 🤣, most of your good players are imports.
@@RicksPhatPharm-vw2lb gay paarl? Take the R away out of your stupid sghool and tell me… who’s gay?
@@blueflamesable facts brudda
Normal school they just offer rugby as a sport you can play there's no specific school for only rugby players, most SA schools from primary to high school has rugby as a sport you can play, we start em young
Hilton , Gray college, kersny college specialise in rugby
@@KaylinOlive Paarl boys also
Some high schools do give bursaries and residence to pupils to play for them
@@KaylinOliveSelborne is very good as well
This is not 100% true some schools don't offer sport but every school that does offers rugby and then you got to remember there are schools that are known for producing the best rugby players and they specialize in it. Some people have already mentioned a few
Its not just a sport, it's our culture.
its true brother
@@Yousouf56 definately.
Proudly South African 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Ja man hulle is beasts🔥🔥🔥
Waarheid!
College in South Africa just means school. Most of players tend to be in grade 11/12 so are around 17-18 years old.
Rugby culture is South African schools is unreal, there often rivalries between the old schools that go back years and years. On big game days the whole school comes out to support, with the biggest games sometimes being televised too. It’s a wonderful atmosphere - often with old students going back generations.
Much love for your channel ✌🏽
Sincerely
Someone who went to one of these 150yr + year old rugby obsessed schools
Hands down, no one can touch South Africa at school boy rugby level
In South Africa the word "college" just means school. So these guys are all high school students aged 16-18 with some of them being 19 years old. None are older than 19
Then you flunked a year being 19. I'd say standard is under 18.
@@PowrAl Nope, most of the 19-year-olds are in post-matric. Some of the private schools offer it if the students want to get better grades, take a time out before University or do some University classes while being attached to a school.
Same in Jamaica
@@pearlmokuoane6437 or you failed std5
It doesn't matter look at Zuma he didn't pass st1 and look at the places he went 😂😂
They're just regular high schoolers bro they just happen to also be absolute monsters
This comment wins the internet 😂
No all our boys just naturally kill it!! ❤🇿🇦 they are bred that way... dads start talking rugby when the baby boy is in the womb.... its literally life or death for us🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
18 years old or 17 years old, they are first teams or team A's, unless they failed a year they might be 19, but there is an age limit of 19 if I am not mistaken. Essentially the Matrics or year 12 students, here in South Africa what you call college is what we call university rugby. These are high school boys. Sometimes you will have monsters that might even be 16 or 15 in the A team but that's rare in these Schools as there is a large talent pool to choose from.
The headgear some players wear is called a scrumcap. That coupled with a good gum guard decrease the chances of getting concussed which is one of the common rugby injuries. The gum guard helps to absorb the shock of clattering teeth which otherwise more easily effects the brain. These are worn voluntarily.
The scrumcap also helps protecting the ears from excessive friction which eventually ends up deforming the earlobes typically of forwards (numbers 1 - 8).
Another advantage of using a gum guard is obviously protecting the mouth and teeth.
I attended so-called rugby schools in the 80's and 90's. Didn't have much of a choice since they were closest to home...... unless if I wanted to attend a girls' school ;)
We started playing rugby in grade 1 (6 turning 7). The second, third, fourth, fifth choice schools were all rugby schools - I think you get the idea.
In South africa.. all sport is played with ALL heart. Doesnt matter if its rugby,netball, hockey or waterpolo. But Rugby is the beating of our hearts.Scrumcaps(the thing on the head) can be worn by anyone in the scrum(when they go together and the ball gets thrown in under the feet) to stop their ears from being rupped off
It's part of a wonderful rugby system that breeds future Springboks players. So impressed. They've been bred and nurtured at a young age but still produce a high standard brand of rugby. Regards from Buka, PNG.
At 2:00 the clip shows Paarl Gimnasium vs Paar Boys High. A yearly rugby match that started in 1915. Both schools have produced Springboks. The whole city and alumni is divided during that weekend. Used to be that the losing team would not dare be wherever the winning team concregate. Good Times.
Paarl Boys
I love hearing that about our South African people 🇿🇦🙏🏽🥳🥳
The head covering is called a scrum cap. Its main reason is to help stop you getting “cauliflower ears”, check out the ears of some players that aren’t wearing one. Also, in extreme cases, from your ear being ripped off.
The players who wear the "helmets" use it to protect there ears in the Scrums. A rugby union scrum consists of two teams' eight forwards, with each team binding in three rows. The front row is composed of the two props and the hooker.[3] The two second row forwards (jersey numbers four and five), commonly referred to as the locks bind together and directly behind the front row with each putting their heads between the props and the hooker. Lastly the back row is made up of the two flankers and the number eight. The flankers bind on each side of the scrum - next to a lock and behind a prop.[3]
0:10
The two forward packs form a scrum by approaching to within an arms length of each other. The referee gives the command crouch and the opposing front rows then crouch; as well as allowing the front rows to interlock with one another, this crouching action also serves to isometrically preload the muscles, enabling the subsequent drive to be performed more powerfully. The referee then calls bind and forwards grab the opposites shoulders. The referee then issues the set command which indicates that the two packs may come together. When this happens both front rows thrust forward with the tighthead props' heads going between the opposing hooker and loosehead prop. The scrum-half from the team that has possession then throws the ball in the gap formed between the two front rows.[4] The two hookers (and sometimes the props) then compete for possession by trying to hook the ball backwards with their feet, while the entire pack tries to push the opposing pack backwards. The side that wins possession usually transfers the ball to the back of the scrum - which is done with their feet. Once at the back it is picked up either by the number 8, or by the scrum-half.[5]
Man I went to one of the schools repressed here and let me tell you the vibe and energy makes u do some crazy things on the field. Some of the guys I played rugby with are now playing for the national team and provincial teams. The guys are between 16-19 in most of the video.
South Africa's best school rugby tournament is the Graven Week where they have the best players in the country starting U13,U15 and U18
No, it's Craven week named after Dr Danie Craven. For many years he opposed the inclusion of non-white players in traditionally white teams, bu he later supported financial assistance for all. This again was perhaps not consistent with his vehement opposition to professional sport and Rugby in particular.
@@barrydouglas6276 what are you trying to say ?????
@barrydouglas6276 what is the best school boy rugby tournament in South Africa????
@@guntherbottcher It seems evident that I upset you, that was not my intention. It seems to me that when an event or an institution or an award is named after an individual (say a Nobel prize) it is appropriate to know their name correctly and something of their history.
Dr Craven is on record opposing professional sport and multi-racial teams. He is also on record promoting skills development of any Rugby player though funding and events that allow opportunity to compete and to display their skills.
So what I am suggesting is that he was human and his views shifted over time and he {like all of us) had some cognitive dissonance. He certainly played a great role in promoting the sport but I believe it would be a dishonour to portray his life as different to his own beliefs, public statements and choices at various times in his life.
03:00 They're 16-18 yrs old, they play u/19 but the age before that is u/16, so it's a big jump and you get a lot of different age players.
Not school for rugby as most of the schools in SA plays rugby. Introduced to children as from about 5 years of age
Yeah school boy rugga in SA is epic. And the scrum cap doesn't do much in the way of protection, I wore one to help prevent cauliflower ear, it's way better than tape.
From time to time there's some American YT reactor that makes this statement: "I think they could play in the NFL" which, mind you, might as well be true. What I don't like though is, is it really that hard for an American to understand that if a guy has a chance to become a professional rugby player he probably doesn't give a shit about playing another sport.
So I watched my first Superbowl game this year ....my takeaway NFL players are not NEARLY as well conditionend as top professional rugby players .
Your average All Black ,Springbok ,Irish,French backrow are much more physical than NFL players and some NFL defensive players are just plain fat....
It’s a different game.. the defensive line is built to stop players sacking the QB. The defensive backs are much more athletic than a rugby back rower but again.. they don’t have to play 80 mins.
With the way rugby is going, it’s becoming more like NFL with the amount of cards and penalties 😂
@@korylp6219 I fully realize that, my observation is about general conditioning of Rugby players vs NFL players.
@@oldtighthead2459 correct however NFL players conditioning is focused on Explosive power. Their short out bursts of power are crazy! Etzebeth will still hurt them though
I don't think they mean any offence by it. American Football is what they're familiar with. I think it's more a comment of appreciation for the athletes than a slight at rugby.
These are high school boys. About 17-18 years old. Love your comments. Marion, Cape Town, South Africa.
Some of the older English-language schools in South Africa have college in their name but they are still only high schools. Most of the players are 17 or 18 with here and there an exeptional 16 year-old. The current Springbok flyhalf, Handre Pollard, competed in three Junior World cups so he was probably in the 1st team from when he was 16.
The leading two schools which is the breading ground for Springbok senior Rugby is Paul Roos Gymnasium and Grey Bloem. Both schools and many other schools in South Africa will sponsor school boys who shows promise in Sports and academics
those 2 schools alone account equally for 60% of the springboks players ... big annual game between those 2 grey has the higher win record againts them and also a 97% win rate since 1887
These boys are usually around 16-18, some schools have a separate u/16 teams then it's only 17-18.
hello, im a student of paarl boys high school ( the ones with light blue, dark blue and white stripes on their jerseys )in south africa (one of the schools in this vid), to answer your question, some of the schools has names with "college" in like, Grey College, although it is a high school. So yes, all of the schools in the video is schoolboys.
All normal school boys, went to Hilton college myself, one of the oldest schools in the world, not the oldest of course but it's up there also in terms of prestige as well!
Some high schools in South Africa are called colleges, despits offering grades 8-12. This because of either two reasons. 1) It operates like college, with personalised time tables wuth free periods or 2) Just because "College" sounds better than "high school"
The High Schools named Colleges are usually just Private High Schools. So yeah these are high school boys... Ranging from !6-18 years old
High schoolers 14-18 years old
College in most english speaking countries is what you call high school. What Americans call college most English speaking countries call university instead.
Not in South Africa they are until Grade 12 even the Hilton college its a high school not a college these are teenagers in my country until 18
High School boys, every last one. "College" is used to describe many schools in Southern Africa, it just means "place of learning". What you call College we call University or just "Uni". All these boys will be between the ages of 13 and 18. I guess 7th/8th grade to 12th by the US system.
Also bare in mind, rugby is a fluid sport, there are no where near as many stoppages as there are in American Football. The flow of the game is much more like soccer. These boys go hard from starting whistle to ending. They are beasts and have stamina to back it up. We had an American Football player come and try to play rugby with us (club rugby) and he just couldn't keep up. He had the skill and power but couldn't fire on all cylinders for an entire game, by half time he was ready to pass out.
The "helmet" is called a scrum cap and exists only to protect the ears of the forwards in the scrum. Before scrum caps were implemented people literally would have their ears ripped off in the scrum sometimes and tearing/bleeding was pretty much happening in every game. The offer very little protection outside of keeping the ears tucked and safe. I don't think they were even invented to protect players as much as to prevent stoppages. Rugby players are hard core and are well known to play with broken ribs, arms, wrists, noses and just about anything else you can grit your teeth through the pain for. I remember our rugby captain in high school was awarded man of the match after scoring 4 tries in a tense match, he had 3 broken ribs, a sprained wrist and a concussion by the end of the game but did not once step off the field. He collapsed 5 mins after the game and an ambulance was called. "My team was counting on me" was all he had to say when he came back to school on Monday, our games were on the weekends. THAT is rugby!
Players who have suffered concussion wear scrum caps to avoid the reoccurence of further concussions while playing.
As play evolves into more organized structures, defense becomes more aggressive, which leads to high-speed collisions that can result in concussions.
Tackle laws have been changed to bring the level of the tackle below shoulder height, but the speed of the game can result in desperate attempts to stop an attack which leads to high tackles and stiff arm tackles or even no arm tackles which can cause damage to both attacker and defender.
When a squad system(23 players to a squad with 15 on the field during play) was introduced to ensure play would speed up, by having fresh players come on when key players tired, injuries became more prominent. That's what professionalism brought to the game.
Hilton is one of the best all boys high-schools in South Africa. For the most part it's a boarding school.
Hats off to the Gees, you may call it support in the stands but hier in SA noem ons dit gees.proud of these boys
i was there watching the play at 8:38, in person rugby in south africa is unbeatable
Elite schools with great faculties are called Colleges as well even though they're technically high schools
There are no schools for Rugby in South Africa, we do have schools wich is a breading ground for Rugby players for senior Rugby, after school which includes bursaries, but players must also perform academically, or will be cut from Rugby teams. The same goes for academic performance at University.
High School. Some high schools are called colleges. But they start from grade R to grade 12. These rugby players are about 17 to 18 years old. They are in grade 11 and 12, first team players
04:50 If you know, you know.. For a kid to do what most international fly-halfs can't even do on a GOOD day.. Also kinda cool that one of the few international players that can do that (successfully more times than not) is Frans Steyn, who is the Springboks current record for the longest career for the team (that is STILL playing) and he was doing 50m + kicks when he was just about the same age!
Actually Victor Matfield had the longest career
@@juantheron4284 you obviously ignored what was written in brackets..
If Frans Steyn played for the bulls wouldn't he have been, one of the most if not thee most successful rugby player in terms of professional trophies won?
You can also watch the South African Varsity Cup for boys older than 18 years.
Playing rugby is a religion I South Africa.
American kids have batman as heros , we have rugby players as heros
Commonwealth countries schools... college is referred to as highschool.
Nah that is highh school, I am a rugby player from south africa. Was about 6’4 250 at 18
Grade 8 to grade 12 which is from 13/14 to 18 years old. There is scouting for universities. You are able to earn your junior springbok colours and be on the under 21 springbok team.
The "hat/cap" or head protection is to prevent a thing called "cauliflower ear" that rugby players often get. Google it 😂
This looks like clips from different high schools and colleges. It's not just one school for rugby. Most of our schools have rugby teams.
In South Africa, you would normally be 18 yeas old in your last year of high school. Hilton College is also a high school.
Hilton College is a highschool, the name is a bit confusing but all these players are between 16-18 years old
In SA a college is a school which usually spans at least part of primary as well as high school. Hilton College is a very prestigious school in SA
The scrum hat(the thing they wear) is to stop collyflower ears and to stop concussions and needing of stitches but it's optional
These boys obviously don’t spend their time in front of a computer playing games instead they spend their time outside playing physical sports and that is the difference
The school at the end is Selborne College the Girls are our sieter school Claredon i was there at the end celebration!
There are 2 levels of rugby in the national schools.
First group are the schools who are very serious about the sport. They are being trained from around 9 years if age all the way through school till year 12.
Second group are trained by teachers etc who only train each season.
The difference is that group one are trained over 10 years and have professional trainers. Hence the difference between the 2 groups. Top 4 are Grey College Bloemfontein, Paarl Gymnasium, Paarl Boys both in Cape Town and Paul Roos Gymnasium Stellenbosch Cape Town.
The rest of the ranking schools are across the country and professionally trained.

You left out a bunch of big ones. Affies, Maritzburg College, Monument to name a few
Where do you get this? Most of these schools you only start at at the age of 13/14, and then you also only train in season? They focus on other sports as well…
It's a scrum cap. It protects their ears which get pretty knurled. Check out female rugby!
They rough and ready for their calls to springboks😂😂😂😂🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦💯
We start playing Rugby from at least grade 2-3, (8-9 years old), every grade or rather under a certain age group till matric (grade 12) have a representative team sometimes two, the no 1 team in Highschool or rather the "First Team- or Eerste Span) the avg age can be from 16-18
High school 13 years old to 17 years old, south African male's are notoriously big and tall
How old are they?
In South Africa we commence school in the year that we turn 6 years of age.
After 12 years, final (matriculation) year at school occurs when we turn 18 years of age.
In high school, the First (top) rugby team will have players of 18, 17 and on rare occasions 16 years of age - exceptionally talented pupils will be promoted to play for their schools First team even though they are not in their final school year.
I hope this answers your question.
These boys are between 16 - 18 years old. They are high school students. Some South African high schools have "college" in their name e.g. Grey College voted as the best high school rugby team in the world
These are all kids ages 15-18 years old. All in high school. Some prestigious private schools are known as colleges.
in south africa, there are a few schools that have collage at the end of their name but its all high school( 14-18 year olds )
These dudes are anywhere from U14 to U19
Hi. I am South African. they are in high school, boys in these teams are 16-18years old. Some of them will all ready be in Regional and National teams within the next 2 years.
just like in Australia we have alot of Private schools called COLLEGES, which are just a fancy name for a high school here.
highschool is 7-12 here. Grade 12ers are 17-18
These gentlemen are between 14 and 16. The most prestigious rugby schools are Parl gym, Grey High, Grey college and Ronde Bosch. My boys are big. When I use to play back in the day I played school rugby and club rugby at 100kg and leg wise breaking 12seconds and there were bigger and faster boys on my team. This is what we do from the start, we don't get a dummy (pacifier) we get a size 4 Gilbert.
This is why rugby is so big in South Africa, while soccer is not. You don’t see this level of competitiveness in any other sport in SA. Soccer was killed by politics and money, while rugby transformed into our fully inclusive national sport.
They’re all around 17,18 years old… Hilton college is just the name of the most expensive private high school in the country
These are in Highschool/Secondary School and are typically between 13 and 18 years old.
Nice to see my old school playing, Shelbourne College
They can still play in the year they turn 19 years old. Hilton College is a High Shool. Grades 8 to 12.
Hilton college is an all boy high school in the Midlands, kwaZulu.
They're aged 14 - 18 years. In South Africa we have high school rugby and University rugby
All schools play rugby, rugby is like breathing
This is high school rugby bud. Colleges are private schools here in SA. So these guys are generally 18 and under
South Africa's school rugby is in a better state than our professional rugby. I 100% doubt there's any country with Rugby in their schools at this level. Pity the prof Rugby gets a fair share of issues
The scrum cap is the helmet it helps without grtting concust
The world dnt know how big shcool boy realy is in south africa sme of their crowds are bigger the profesional games
Rugby isn’t a sport here. It’s our lives.
52m, wow, what a feat, lol... How ordinary, 62m is what I'm used to at school boy level!
Those "helmets" are to help players prevent the development of cauliflower ears.
A Google description: Much like wrestling, rugby is a contact sport where players can sometimes be involved in violent collisions with opponents. And in the midst of all those scrums and rucks, players can sustain injuries to the ear. Cauliflower ear is caused by blunt trauma to the organ, leading to a deformity of the ear.
Bro,we start playing rugby as a sport in Primary School at the age of 10years and we continue to High School and then to Colleges and Universities,to answer your question of the ages of the boys in this video's of yours,they all between 15to17 years old
Hilton College is a high school. Average age between 16 to 18 yrs old.
These are high school kids and they are already on the level of some counties national teams
These boys turn 18 in their final year of high school
This is High School students my boi. Ek een
That cloth helmet is just used to protect your ears
These guys are all aged 17-18 hilton college is just a school in south africa actually the most expensive school in SA.
The cap is called a scrum cap. Other guys just use tape on the ears.
You watching future World championships Go Boks...Go Blitzbok!
These boys are between 17 and 19 years of age.
this reminds me alot of NZ high school
rugby
Hilton college is a high school and usually they go by like, U15,U16,U17,U18(U=under) si basically by age

🇿🇦
Max 18 years. I grew up in Fiji and New Zealand, some fail last year so 19 can happen.
We do not have special rugby schools in SA .. all schools have rugby teams that play school leagues.. Hilton College is a high school .. those boys would be around 18 years old
