You watching some school boy rugby here...High school rugby is huge in South Africa, with many schools having rivalries going back decades...Where you're seeing what looks to be the whole school, is for the most part all of the sports teams from each school which took part in matches throughout the day supporting the schools main team. There are weekends though, for big 'Derby" games, where the schools have 'Compulsories'...basically the home school is expected to attend and support the first teams. At high school level, depending on the school...you can have up to 8 teams for each age group competing on a Saturday...so every Saturday is basically SPORTS day from 8 in the morning culminating in the First team, or 18A side at the end of the day. School boy rugby starts basically from grade 4 although in the northern areas of the country, they have a thing called 'Bulletjies Rugby', which basically means little bulls rugby...ie - rugby for age 5 and 6. Rugby in the northern provinces starts as early as grade 1, playing barefoot with an altered form of the game but if I recall correctly in the southern provinces, rugby really starts from grade 4...with the more physical aspects only really coming in from grade 6...(yes, primary school) Man, attending a proper Derby game, can be like going to a stadium for a semi-final or final...with the kids cheering, and yelling their warcries...It's a fantastic outing.
Yeah our high schools and colleges go above and beyond nuts with the spirit of RUGBY. Those were fun days. Everyone in the school joins in for the fun. And yes there are plenty of girls about.
‘Why you gotta throw someone’s son like this?’ I died!! 😂 I grew up in a rugby school… Affies (Afrikaans Hoer Seunskool) in the top 3 best rugby schools consistently. Rugby is a religion in the schools. Great video
Love the passion of these young men, miss the intervarsity days. these are not championships, most are rivalries that have gone on for generations, and schools in which rugby is life. In America you have Varsity and JV teams, Some of these schools have 8 senior teams, so 160 boys compete to be on that field. that's whaat you work for from u/14.
this is why the southern hemisphere teams are so good and usually better than northern hemisphere sides. they go and scout all the schools and get the best young lads at a very young age. they then gives the boys scholarships to rugby schools. here in the uk its much different. you usually play for your local side and a scout will, if you show promise, will ask the player to have a trail which is crap compared to aus, NZ, and the boks.
Just so that u dont get confused this is high school rugby all the teams in this videos but some of the schools in South Africa name starts with college but that doesn't mean it's college or university but keep up the work love the vid💯
It's a religion ,School Rugby has an annual tournament called ' Craven week' These school boys are animals ,in my year there was a guy called the Zulu giant 6 foot 7 and 300 pounds and ran the 110 yards in 12 seconds
It's compulsory for the whole school to attend rugby matches in a lot of the big schools. There is also war cry practices at these schools, it's very much a culture here.
I taught at one of the traditional Boys High Schools in South Africa for a few years in Kwa-Zulu Natal. What you seeing there are normal match fixtures, not championships matches. The best way to explain it to you is like College football games. But in school boy rugby they play for pride, bragging rights and the rivalries between schools can get very intense. For instance when I was at Glenwood High School, two weeks before we would play DHS, I personally would start getting my team I coached ready. My teams knew we have 1 rule, we can lose every game of the year expect DHS. That been said we didn't go out to lose games. But DHS there was no option, it's a win. Some of the most intense rivalries I have ever seen are at school boy level.
Oh yes, huge energy, on the road to a career. My school should be reviewed, as it was in that first clip after the intro ended, after the "SA School Rugby": the clip looked like from a 2019 game between Bishops v Rondebosch, and it was a Rondebosch try. Still, Rondebosch were soundly beaten that day. Bishops did not have any of its tries included in this highlights video, which isn't surprising: we're among the best nationwide, some close games, a few loses but usually easily beating the other team. Francois Lowe is from Bishops, btw. There was at least one other try scored against Bishops in this video, and it was a fine try, but Bishops is worth a look: Bishops wears dark blue socks and clothing with a light blue collar & top of socks or all white clothing, always with the 'Bishops' Mitre badge. We're the oldest private school in South Africa, since 1849, while SACS is a public/government school and is as old. The Springbok colours were adopted from Bishops colours, way back then.
Most of these game are u18 games - most are high schools but there are some Craven Week clips as well a few SA Schools clips - Most of these high schools play in a Super league where the top schools in the country play each other as they are too strong for the average schools in their areas. The derby games between Paarl Gymnasium (Gimmies) and Paarl Boys High (Boishaai) can pull up to 20,000 spectators - Craven Week is an inter-provincial competition (inter-State in the US, do you have those for football?). A provincial team gets selected from the best players in each province. This is where players also get drug tested as this is run by the National rugby union - After Craven Week a SA Schools team is selected and they play against 2 or 3 countries' u18 teams, e.g. England, France, Wales
The Team you see with the light blue, dark blue and white uniforms are called Paarl Boys, every game we played was like a final , undefeatable ,LEKKERS BOI'S
In SA rugby is life. Most schools its compulsory to play and its compulsory for the students to support. Not usual for school boy rugby to attract 5000 plus supporters per game and games televised now too
My son has been playing since he was 16, but because of his size, he always played with older kids/people. He has had a steel plate in his leg since the age of 17.
Rugby in South Africa isn't a sport, its a religion! Doesn't matter if its primary school, high school, club rugby, provincial or national rugby, if there was ever a valid reason to be absent for whatever reason, all you have to say is, "We have to make in time before kickoff!". Over here we eat, sleep, and if you fortunate enough to have a few Castles(a locally produced beer by South African Breweries), we drink rugby!
Yeah those are probably just regular game day games. And the whole school comes out to support the Rugby teams all in uniform on a Saturday. Game days are always weekends
Bro all boys schools have sister schools. I went to a school with 1500 boys and just down the road, we had 3 all girls schools. Hoes gor fays my nigga. And the schools have exchanges too so you get to mingle. Its bot that bad. But the thing about same sex schools is that its teaches you to be a man. I went to a girls and boys school too. Boys schhols are far better at preparing you for life and to make a success.

In south africa every rugby game u play it is like a championship final no Matter how or were you play
I can vouch for this as a South African
Especially bosch 💛💙
And it doesn't matter how old you are! From the age of 5 we take it seriously.
The world "College" in the rugby playing nations are highschools.
High school in SA is like age 11-18
Colleges are from preprimary(around 6) to 18 years old, and highschools are from around 14-18.. colleges are also more private schools.. the closest public school to a college would be KES, but even they're a public school

The longest successful nfl field goal is 64 yards, so 58 metres. That kick was 52 metres. 57 yards.
Puts it into perspective
A kicker i coached kicked 65m with ease when he was 17.
Keep in mind the kick was made at see level, which makes the kick far more difficult due to gravitational pull
I love how he says its gotta be a tournament but its litreally just derbys
Saw a few moments from my school (Glenwood), happy we featured

Rugby kids are humongous! I've seen a 6'3", 190lbs 16 year-old. Whatever they're being fed needs to be unclassified.
MY SCHOOL IS ON HERE OMW 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The start was a warcry is almost the same as the All Blacks haka before a game to intimidate other teams💪🏼
Yeah those are probably just regular game day games. And the whole school comes out to support the Rugby teams all in uniform on a Saturday. Game days are always weekends
Hilton Collage is a high school
This is High School kids.
It’s all high school boys playing 17-19yrs then the schools are Gr8-12, most private schools have college and most government schools have high school
We have sister schools bro beautiful ladies
Usually an all boys school has an all girl school
Hitlon Collage is an all boys school, I am in the same province ☺
Hilton is in the top 5 most expensive private schools in the country.however they are not in the top 10 rugby schools.
Hilton College is a high school
Whole school
Hilton college is a school. Its not a university
My Guy these ads are frustrating, i even clicked on your video to skip the ads.

School rugby means it is a svhool playing agents ather schools
No championship…south Africans are just passionate af about schoolboy rugby
Steroids are a big problem in South African school rugby
Not a big problem at all, we just eat meat and have sunshine, something the British teams don't have, so we grow big.
No it’s not you idiot. The teams gets tested.
