Summary

High School Rugby in South Africa is like nowhere else in the world. Crowds of 25,000, live TV coverage and a scramble for tickets. It’s also the schools that produce the Boks and 56 have come from Paul Roos Gimnasium in Stellenbosch - more than any other in the country. Steven Kitshoff is one of their many famous old boys.
