Affies first defeat of the season happened only last weekend against Paarl Boys at the Wildeklawer Festival and the side will be keen not to repeat the experience. They have also won two of the last three fixtures between the sides (they lost 42-31 in 2014) and are looking to make it two consecutive wins this year

We’ve achieved some very good results this season,’ said Affies coach Jaco Koch. ‘The game against Paarl Boys’ didn’t go according to plan, but we are very happy with where we are at the moment. One of our goals is to know before every match that we’ve done everything we can to be fully prepared, and I can honestly say that we’ve achieved that this season … there’s nothing we would have done differently.

‘However, the loss to Paarl Boys’ has definitely influenced our plans for Saturday’s match,’ Koch added. ‘There were errors made under pressure at crucial moments.’

SACS vs Bishops

SACS take on Bishops in the oldest schoolboy rugby contest in SA with the first match between the sides recorded in 1873.

SACS have been victorious in seven of the last 10 fixtures and Bishops will certainly be out to shift SACS' supremacy.

KES vs Maritzburg

Another historic rivalry will be played out on the fields of King Edward VII (KES). The two sides have both met Pretoria Boys High this season and both have won their matches with similar points difference indicating that we can look forward to a close fought battle.

The game will be a delayed broadcast on SelSA (channel 210) at 20.05 and on SuperSport 1 at 23.05
