Our immediate aim is to identify organisations from within the old boys network who are willing to host select candidates for a 6 month period commencing in January next year.

Two key points to emphasise are the strong support and involvement of David Lovatt, and that host organisations have no financial obligations—the Sir Percy Hunting Foundation covers the full cost of the internships.

The video includes a link to our website that provides a template for registering your interest in becoming involved.
It will be wonderful if this project receives the necessary support that it deserves!

Mnebelele to lead SA U18s against Ireland in Paarl With heavy underfoot conditions expected in Paarl on Friday, the SA Under-18s are under no illusion that a tough challenge awaits them when they face Ireland in their first outing of the 2024 U18 International Rugby Series.

Six months of intensive training done and dusted, and the time has come for Quinton Marketos (Grade 12) to head off to Toronto, Canada, for Junior Worlds.

We thank Emilio dos Santos for his support and for photographing our boys while in action.
