This week on Classic Clashes, we join Gideon and Tobie in the Western Cape for one of our special edition shows. We travel to the little valley of Paarl, where the rugby and the passion for the game are anything but little!
These two schools have an incredible rugby history with each other, and they have been fighting it out since 1915. Over the years, the results have varied, with many games being won, lost or drawn, but as Stephan Coetzee, the Captain of Paarl Boys' High said, "This game must be played as if no other games have ever been played, as if there is no history between us. The only game that matters is this one."
We chatted to both Captains a few days before the game and both maintained that it was going to be a close game as the teams were very evenly matched.
The coaches also weren't giving too much away, but they were confident that their teams had prepared as much as possible, and that their boys were going to give it their all.
At the end of the day, this game between two of South Africa's best rugby schools promises to be one of the most momentous games of 2010. With over 25 000 spectators, this is the largest school boy rugby game in the world....you don't want to miss it....
In Momentum Masterclass this week, Gary takes a look at how to counter a lineout drive without sacking it and how to sack your opponents lineout.
