    Posted: 16-Jul-2019 at 11:10am

The SA Schools and SA Schools A squads – featuring four returning players from 2018 – to contest the U18 International Series against their age-group counterparts from Argentina, England, France, Wales in August were announced by SA Rugby on Monday.

 

Jacques Goosen (hooker, Border), Jarrod Taylor (flanker, Border), Keketso Morabe (flanker, Thepa Trading Griffons) and Jurich Claasens (scrumhalf, Assupol Blue Bulls), all of whom played for the SA Schools team in 2018, were again included following the successful hosting of the Under-18 Youth Weeks in Bloemfontein at the beginning of the month.

 

The U18 International Series kicks off at Paul Roos Gymnasium in Stellenbosch on Friday, 9 August, with matches to follow at Paarl Gymnasium in Paarl on Tuesday, 13 August and Hugenote High School in Wellington on Saturday, 17 August.

 

Mzwakhe Nkosi (Bidvest Waltons Golden Lions, SA Schools) and Phiwe Nomlomo (Border, SA Schools A) are the respective coaches.

 

SA Rugby CEO, Jurie Roux, congratulated the players on their selection and wished them well for the forthcoming series.

 

“It is a rewarding and exciting time for the selected schoolboys as they get the opportunity to play for their country and give justice to their talent and hard work put in,” said Roux.

 

“The selection of these squads is in line with our elite player development pathway of which the SA Schools teams form an important part.

 

“We invest time, money and resources into their matches with a view to them graduating through the age group levels to the very top of the game, so good luck to all involved, including the coaching staff of Mzwakhe and Phiwe respectively.”

Weird dat hulle laasjaar se SA Skole spelers Ridgers (Heinrich se laaitie) en Kade Wolhuter (uiters talentvol) van Paul Roos weglaat omdat hul Franse kontrakte gekry het.

Sterkte vir die twee wat sekerlik oor n paar jaar vir Frankryk sal speel.
