Scintillating action and the best provincial schoolboy rugby talent highlighted the opening day of the Under-13 SA Rugby Craven Week and Under-16 SA Rugby Grant Khomo Week at High School Rob Ferreira in White River on Monday.

The DHL Western Province teams showed massive intent in their performance in both tournaments, with their Under-13 side winning 70-12 against ITS Valke and their Under-16 team outclassing Boland to the tune of 78-7. The Bidvest Waltons Golden Lions scored the second biggest win of the day with their 57-7 win over Border in the Under-13 SA Rugby Craven Week

That dominance apart, numerous matches were fiercely competitive, with last minute scores determining the final results on numerous occasions.

The Under-16 SA Rugby Grant Khomo Week also saw the debut of the SA Iqhawe team, with the side, assisted by former Springbok, Kabamba Floors, showing real potential before going down to a late try in their match against Everest Wealth Pumas.

Action in the Under-13 SA Rugby Craven Week will continue on Tuesday. The Under-16 SA Rugby Grant Khomo Week resumes on Wednesday.
