Preview: George High vs Pacaltsdorp

Published: Thursday, 4. August, 2011 in category Southern Hemisphere

These two South Western Districts schools meet on Saturday in an FNB Classic Clash that looks evenly balanced.

They are not schools who get a lot of rugby - perhaps five matches each so far this season.

Both teams have played Groot Brak near Mossel Bay. George won 11-3, Pacaltsdorp 27-3. They both played Imazamo Yethu and again both won - George 26-7. Pacaltsdorp 8-7

There does not seem much to choose between the schools.

Pacaltsdorp: 15 Jemondré Claassen, 14 Ashwill Isaacs, 13 Lu-wayne Meyer, 12 Avian Phillips, 11 Joshwin Booysen, 10 Philmore Bredenkamp, 9 Rudi de Klerk (captain), 8 Leroy Abrahams, 7 Adrian Isaacs, 6 Sheldon Bruinders (vice-captain), 5 Sherwin Pietersen, 4 Everton Moolman, 3 Darwin Massey, 2 Michel-Angelo Damons, 1 Shaun-Douglas Prinsloo.
