Overview
- Paul Roos pulled clear in the second half to win 37-29 at Markotter Stadium on Saturday with Gerard Bekker scoring two tries including a long-range intercept that swung the contest.
- Stef de Villiers scored the try that sealed the result and the hosts finished the campaign with 15 wins and two losses.
- The loss was Grey College's fifth of the season, continuing a run that included defeats to Stellenberg, Nudgee College, Paarl Gim and Affies.
- South Africa's U18 and U18 'A' teams completed a 3-0 sweep of their International Series this weekend, a selection process that reduced availability of top school players for some fixtures.
- Around 16,000 spectators watched the derby as national school rankings shifted—Paul Roos moved up in that week's Top 20—and provincial results across the country set up next week's regional finals such as the Noordvaal semifinals.
